The Jewish Community of Frankfurt am Main has been a public corporation and a member association of the Central Council of Jews in Germany since 1949.[1]
The Frankfurt Jewish Community is one of the largest unified Jewish communities in Germany with an institutionalized administrative organization that is not associated with any particular Jewish movement.
Its community center is located in Frankfurt's Westend district, and includes the Westend Synagogue and the Baumweg Synagogue, as well as several smaller synagogues and prayer rooms.[2] The community also operates, among other things, the I.E. Lichtigfeld School at the Philanthropin, a senior citizens' home, and two kindergartens.
The 17-member elected community council elects the five-member community board. The members of the community council and board determine the work and direction of the community and represent it externally. The chairman is Salomon Korn, the rabbi of the community has been Rabbi Julien Chaim Soussan since 2013, and Rabbi Avichai Apel joined in 2016 as a second rabbi.
At the end of 2019, the community had 6,316 members.
