ZGWŻ helps Polish Jews - including the descendants of the Holocaust survivors - in a variety of legal matters, both communal and personal, including aiding in the process of recovery and restoration of property once owned by the Jewish Kehilla (קהלה), and nationalized in Communist Poland,[2] like the White Stork Synagogue in Wrocław (see gallery).

The Association also maintains specialized religious groups (such as the "burial brotherhood"), and manages its own health care resources and social support networks.

The Association also runs language schools, and organizes educational courses, lectures, seminars, conferences, and training sessions, and publishes its own magazines and books.
