About Us
"Bnei Maskilim" is an open and inclusive progressive Jewish community in Vilnius, uniting people who seek a modern, egalitarian and meaningful approach to Jewish identity.
Our activities began from the need to create a Jewish life that would not be limited by Orthodox traditions. Today, "Bnei Maskilim" holds Shabbat evenings, holidays, Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies, cultural events and Jewish education programmes.
In 2023, we became a registered non-governmental organisation and chose the name "Bnei Maskilim" (Hebrew for "Children of the Enlightened"), honouring the Maskilim minyan active in Vilnius back in the 19th century - a symbol of Jewish education and modern thought.
Since 2025, we have been official members of the European Union for Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) and cooperate with the World Union for Progressive Judaism (WUPJ).
