✡️Jewish community overview

Vienna hosts an active Orthodox community supported by several key organizations: * **Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Wien (IKG):** The main official body representing the Jewish community. The historic main synagogue, the **Stadttempel** (Seitenstettengasse 4, 1010 Wien), is the only pre-WWII synagogue in Vienna to have survived destruction. * **Chabad-Lubavitch of Vienna:** Led by Rabbi Jacob Biderman, offering daily minyanim, educational programs, and Shabbat hospitality resources. * **Machsike Hadass:** Represents the local Charedi community, maintaining its own minyanim, kashrut supervision, and community institutions in Leopoldstadt. * **Kosher Infrastructure:** Concentrated in the 2nd District, featuring kosher supermarkets (e.g., Kosherland, Shefa Z'at), bakeries, and multiple supervised sit-down restaurants.
