Abstract:

A new concept of European solidarity is transforming Jewish life in Europe. The long dormant European Council of Jewish Communities is now initiating new alliances and joint projects on a continent-wide basis, and a Jewish Partnership has been established in Brussels with links to the European Union. Twenty-first century European Judaism will be free from national boundaries, and three million European Jews will become equal partners with North American and Israeli Jews.
