Jewish communities
Under the heading “Jews in Switzerland” the Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG) writes:
“Approximately 17,000 Jews are living in Switzerland at present, a good deal of whom are members of the 17 SIG communities. Jews in Switzerland lead a very active religious, cultural and social life, particularly in such urban centres as Zurich, Basel, Bern, Lausanne and Geneva.”
For the complete article as well as further information about Judaism in Switzerland please go to the “Culture” section of the SIG web portal.
