The European Jewish Parliament or EJP (formerly known as European Jewish Union or EJU) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Brussels whose stated aim is to be "a uniting structure for all Jewish communities and organizations throughout Western, Eastern and Central Europe."[1]
The EJU-backed EJP is the brainchild of Ukrainian billionaire Vadim Rabinovich.
European Jewish Union
The EJU group was founded in the Spring of 2011 by Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Vadim Rabinovich
The EJU hoped to establish a European Jewish Parliament, comprising 120 members modeled on the Israeli Knesset.[2][3] This group would then represent the concerns of the Jewish community to the European Union.[4]
The European Jewish Parliament was inaugurated on February, 16th 2012.[5]
The first EJP annual general assembly was held in Brussels on May 15 and 16 2012.[6]
EJP logo
The European Jewish Parliament logo is modeled on the flag of Europe's crown of 12 golden stars with 5 rays on a blue background.
Instead the EJP logo uses a crown of 11 golden stars with a 12th star being a white Star of David, stylized as on the flag of Israel, on a blue background.[7]
