Goals

Officially there are 100.000 Jews live in Hungary, 95% of them live in Budapest. As the result of the II. World War and the 50 years of Communism in Hungary today only a very small percent of these people have any connection to Judaism.

My first goal is to find ways to reach the non-affiliated Jews and return them back to their roots through different programs and projects.
