The Ljubljana Synagogue is a house of prayer of the Federation of the Jewish Communities of Graz and Ljubljana, located in a residential building in the center of the Slovenian capital. It was founded, planned and realized by the president of the Jewish community in Graz Elie Rosen and is managed by the Jewish community of Graz for the Slovenian community respectively all Slovenian Jews. Before that it wasn't possible for the Jewish community of Slovenia to build its own permanent synagogue in Ljubljana in lack of financial means. Therefore, they were dependent on makeshift arrangements.[1]
On August 2, 2021, the Jewish Community of Graz and the Jewish Community of Slovenia, led by Elie Rosen, President of the Jewish Community of Graz, and Igor Vojtic, Vice President of the Jewish Community of Slovenia, announced the establishment of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Graz and Ljubljana. The transnational association of Jewish communities was established with the goal to reinforce and develop community life of both entities.[2][3]
The opening ceremony of the synagogue of Ljubljana which is run under traditional (orthodox) rite was held on 9 November 2021 - the memorial day of the November-pogroms from 1938 – in attendance of the President of the Republic of Slovenia Borut Pahor, the Roman Catholic Archbishop msg. Stanislav Zore, Mufti of the Islamic Community in the Republic of Slovenia Nevzet Porić as well as high ranking representatives from politics, diplomacy and society. The Republic of Austria was represented by the Ambassador of Austria to Slovenia, Elisabeth Ellison-Kramer.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
