The Jewish Community of Larissa is a Public Entity of religious and charitable nature that functions under State Law 2456/20. The Administrative Board of the Community which governs, has 6 members and is elected by a Body of Assembly of 25 members that results from elections held every three years. After the Holocaust and the emigration of many Jews to Israel and the United States, as well as to the larger communities of Athens and Thessaloniki, today the Community of Larissa has 330 members.
