Fields of Activity
  1. Religion
General Information
The Organization is the non-profit organization of the last Shtiebel of Budapest, Hungary. A shtiebel is a traditional centre of learning, worship and community of Eastern European Jewry. This place keeps its own traditions, customs and tones, as well as – uniquely in Hungary – a Sephardic liturgy since its establishmentbefore WWI. The shtiebel is saved and operated by a small number of deeply engaged young adults, with no experience or positions in any other Jewish establishments. We established the organization in 2010and named it after the late JakabGláser who had kept the shtiebel alive for decades until his death in 2006, when he was 95. Since then community has been maintaining the shtiebel. JakabGláser was the last of the old generation, and his long life,dedication and hard work made it possible for the shtiebel to survive. By the end of the 1990s the community shrank to 8 or 9, mostly elderly members (most of whom are also gone by now) so without the community building activities of the young and devoted “newcomers”, this place would not exist today. At our organization there is 5 person working as a staff in a voluntary way. Our main partners are: MAOIH (Hungarian Autonomic Orthodox Community),MAZSIHISZ(Federation of Hungarian Jewish Congregations) ,Beyond Budapest Sightseeingand BálintHáz Budapest ,CHABAD Lubavitch,Past and Future” Publishing House. Our budgetary resorurces: 3800euro/year. Our sources of founding: from members through tenders, government support, Jewish organizations (eg Mazsihisz) 1% of the end of the eligibility period of collection organizing volunteer work for the community.

L'ora alternativa - The Alternative Hour Project

Image
L'ora

When we talk about the second generation and the participation of people from immigrant backgrounds, the perspective too often remains external, partial, and there is a strong risk of stereotypes and extremes of thought being expressed. The story of the web series "L'ora alternativa" - The Alternative Hour, produced in Italy, focuses not on the background of the characters but on the participants themselves. That is why we decided to entrust the entire project to a team of professionals with an immigrant background, who know these events, have lived them and were able to bring to life a story without borders, in which the characters are boys and girls from all over the world who can identify with the characters and feel less alone in their situation, on a delicate path of growth and self-discovery.  #ShapeTheSocietyWeWant

The series is offered by our member, the Artemisszió Foundation:
