The Jewish Community Centre of Krakow (JCC Krakow, Polish: Centrum Społeczności Żydowskiej w Krakowie) is a Jewish cultural and educational centre that was created in 2008 as a result of an initiative of HRH The Prince of Wales.In June 2002, HRH The Prince of Wales visited Krakow. The district of Kazimierz made a strong impression on him. During a meeting with representatives of the Jewish Religious Community in Krakow he learned that the community lacked a placed where its members could meet outside of the synagogue. The Prince promised to help, and together with World Jewish Relief and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, secured funding for this purpose.The main aim of the JCC is to strengthen, grow and ensure the viability of the Jewish community in Krakow and it brings together people of Jewish background as well as those interested in Jewish culture, religion and traditions. It hosts regular exhibitions, shows, festivals, film screenings, book promotions and lectures on the topics of Judaism, Chassidism, Jewish law and religious principles. Every week a kosher Sabbath dinner takes place and on Jewish holidays, the JCC organises meetings, parties and other celebrations.
