The Jewish Cultural Center in Ljubljana is located at Križevniška ulica 3, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. Founded in 2013, it is a privately-owned institution that combines a museum of Jewish history with spaces for cultural events including theater and puppet performances, concerts, lectures, and educational programs focused on Jewish heritage and Holocaust remembrance. The center also houses Slovenia’s first functioning synagogue since the closure of the Maribor Synagogue and collaborates closely with the nearby Mini Theater. The center is situated near Ljubljana’s city center, within walking distance of key cultural and historic landmarks such as the medieval Old Town with its charming streets, shops, and cafés. It is also close to the Jewish historical sites including the former Jewish ghetto area marked by streets like Zidovska ulica and Zidovska steza. This location allows visitors to immerse themselves in Ljubljana’s rich cultural fabric, blending Jewish history, contemporary cultural activities, and easy access to Ljubljana’s vibrant urban life.
