∙ 14y agoFor an observant Jew living in a community of at least ten males over the age of thirteen is necessary so as to live a full Jewish life - many things, from portions of the daily prayer to the weekly readings from the Torah to certain occasions in life, require a minyan - i.e ten men over the age of bar mitzvah - to be carried out.
In addition a Jewish community usually makes it easier to find kosher food, especially kosherly slaughtered meat, which can not be found in usual supermarkets. Other specifically Jewish insitutions, such as a Rabbi to carry out weddings, a mohel to carry out the circumcision and a Jewish burial society will not be found outside Jewish communities.

∙ 9y agoJewish community life is expressed in many ways. A few of them include:
- Communal prayer. This takes place every day; and after the prayers, people have a chance to chat, to interact and to bring up anything of communal importance.
- Festive occasions such as weddings and bar/bat mitzva celebrations. These bring together a large number of the community and tend to strengthen inter-family ties.
- Torah-study. Jewish communities have daily and weekly classes in Torah-subjects, both in synagogues and in other public and home-venues. In these settings, the laity can ask questions in topics such as halakha (Torah-laws) and Talmud.
- Communal help. Every Jewish community has individuals and groups who give free help in loans of money or useful items, visiting the sick, preparing the dead for burial, assisting young mothers, etc. This is done voluntarily and is not for profit.
