The women's section of the JCZ was founded in 1887 and has retained its organisational form to this day. Following the Jewish tradition, our members have always been the centre of the family and social life of our community. They have carried the Jewish tradition from generation to generation. Judaism and philanthropy have always been an integral part of the society of the community. Their views, advice and especially their work have always been highly appreciated by the Jewish community.

Nowadays, the Women's Section of the JCZ and Senior Club (Geri Club) is the largest group of community activists, with an average age of about 70 years. They participate in all forms of social, religious and cultural life of the community and, according to their abilities, continue the tradition and work of the Women's Section of the JCZ.

Meetings, so-called "Women's Section Tea Parties" are held once a month, always at the same time, and these are gatherings with coffee, tea and cakes, often accompanied by a lecture or celebrations of any type. The work program of the Women's Section and Senior Club is approved at the beginning of the calendar year.

We look forward to having you here.
