KehillahKehillah is the name given to Jewish communal organizations in Eastern Europe. The role and authority of the kehillah varied greatly, depending on location and historical period. At times a kehillah would have quasi-governmental authority over both the Jewish community and its relationship with the Gentile community. Other times a kehillah would be similar to local (in the United States) federations of Jewish charities.
