LA BENEVOLENCIJA

Founded in 1892, this Jewish association, whose name means "good will" in Ladino, played a crucial role during the 1992-1996 siege by helping all communities. Today, it carries out charitable activities, promotes the Ladino language inherited from the Jews of Spain, maintains the old cemetery in Kovačići, produces radio broadcasts, runs the Novi Hram gallery, leads tours of the synagogue, publishes the quarterly magazine Jevrejski Glas ("Jewish Voice") and has a collection of books that can be consulted by appointment.
