The Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain (FCJE; Spanish: Federación de Comunidades Judías de España) is the umbrella organization representing the interests of most Jews in Spain. Domestically, the FCJE is the official voice of the Spanish Jewish community to the Spanish government.[1] Internationally, the FCJE is the Spanish representative to the European Jewish Congress and World Jewish Congress. In 2021, the FCJE estimated there were between 40,000 and 45,000 Jews in Spain,[2] 98.5% of which are estimated to be part of communities represented by the FCJE.[3]
