The Jewish Community of Malmö was founded in 1871. We are a small and vibrant and democratic community of about 540 members. Our community centre at Kamrergatan 11 in Malmö plays a central role for the community members. It houses our administration and information centre, as well as our rabbi, preschool, kitchen, Jewish associations, education facilities and a combined prayer room and library. It is also a venue for meetings and parties.

Malmö Synagogue

Our beautiful synagogue, which was inaugurated in 1903, is located at Betaniaplan 2, close to the community center. Services at Malmö synagogue are held mainly on Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. The synagogue services are orthodox. Once or twice a month an egalitarian (conservative) shabbat service is also held at the community centre.

Kosher food list and products

The Swedish kosher list can be found on the Stockholm Jewish communities website.

Most food products in Sweden do not have Hashgacha/kosher supervision, nor will you find kosher stamps on them. Some products with OU, OK and KLBD may be found in stores as well. The local kosher standard followed in Scandinavia is based in local products, thereby including Pat Palter and Chalav Akum.
