The community is a home for several Jewish organizations and it offers a platform for variety of interests to all its members from sports to music, from library and literature to senior citizen club. Most of the activities and functions are organized purely by volunteers, including Chevra Kadisha, the burial association, established in 1864. Also, the mikve of the community is run by volunteers thanks to many active people.

The Jewish Community has created good relations within the Finnish society and it is represented in several committees and NGO’s dealing with minority issues in the society. The community is represented also in the international arena through the Central Council of Jewish Communities of Finland which is a member of the World Jewish Congress and the European Jewish Congress.
