JDC has taken the North American Jewish community center model and adapted it to suit the needs of a variety of different Jewish communities overseas.

Comprised of Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Southern Germany, Northern Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Weinberg Danube Region is one of the “regional clusters” developed by JDC in association with the local communities. It links together Jewish communities that have a common geographic, cultural, language, and/or historic base, with programming that encourages networking among different age groups and segments of each community as well as a sharing of ideas and resources.
