AMIA

Founded as Jevra Kedusha in 1894, it was originally created to provide the conditions necessary to follow the Jewish tradition, with the foundation of a community cemetery as one of its first actions. With the arrival of successive migratory groups, the activities of the association grew, multiplied and diversified.

From the 1920s, with the growth of the Jewish population in the country and its progressive integration to society, the AMIA became the participation center for all Jews in Argentina. Popularly known as the “Mother Institution” and as the center for organized community life, the AMIA gave birth to significant initiatives, such as the Central Council of Jewish Education, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Argentina, and the Tzedaká Foundation, among others.
