- The Jewish Council of the Emirates (JCE) is the representative body of Part of the Jewish community in Dubai. Although the Jewish community in the UAE is older, the JCE was formalized with its constitution in 2018. The JCE has more than 100 active members of diverse orientations, including orthodox, conservative and reform. In September 2020, the JCE announced that it would formally affiliate with the World Jewish Congress, an international organization that represents Jewish communities in 100 countries. Rabbi Yehuda Sarna and President Ross Kriel lead the Council. In recent remarks, Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to the United States, noted that Sarna and Kriel had been instrumental in taking care of and looking after the Jewish community. With the signing and ratification of the Abraham Accords – a historic agreement to normalize relations between the UAE and Israel, the JCE aims to act as a bridge between Emirati authorities and Jews living in the country, contribute to the diversity and pluralism of the UAE and advance interfaith harmony. According to Sarna, the JCE intends to be an example community in the Gulf for “dialogue and interfaith cooperation.” The Council also operates a synagogue in Dubai, where they have been organizing a formalized prayer group (a “minyan”) for nearly every Jewish sabbath and major festival since 2013.
