Jewish Community of Doboj

See also History of the Jews in Bosnia and HerzegovinaThe Jewish Community of Doboj (Bosnian language: Jevrejska opština u Doboju) is an organization representing the Jewish community in the city of Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The relationship with the local community briefly soured when Mordechai Atijas, the community's president at that time, proclaimed himself as a "Jewish chetnik" and helped expel Bosnian Muslims from the town.

[1] Many members of the community live in Doboj or in surrounding towns, including Teslić, Šamac and Derventa.

The mission of the organization today is to preserve Jewish identity and traditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as promoting peace, cultural and economic cooperation among all citizens of the country.

The current synagogue was consecrated in 2003, with the community using a reconstructed family home from 1922 that originally belonged to Alexander Vrhovsky and Otto Kalamar.
