The largest is the NIK, on distance followed by the Liberal LJG and the Sephardic cock, that on far distance followed by Masorti Beit Ha'Chidush and quickly emerging (House of renewal). The latter organization was founded in 1995 and holds her services in the uilenburger synagogue dating from 1766, in the old Jewish quarter of Amsterdam. The Masortigemeente in Weesp is at the beginning of the 21st century. Also, there is also still since 2005, the independent municipality Open Jewish municipality Klal Israel in Delft. She is at the Jewish Reconstructionistische Movement (Jewish Reconstructionist Movement) connected. ===Traditional Ashkenazi Judaism (traditional)[ Edit] === Dutch Synagogue-Israelite Denomination, Rotterdam BlijdorpSynagogue of Groningen in theFolkingestraatThe Portuguese Esnoga defeated Israelite at the Mr. Visser square in Amsterdam<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Dutch-Israelite denomination is by far the largest organization in Dutch Jewry; It is more than twice as big as the Liberal Alliance and 13 times as large as the Portuguese Israelite denomination. NIK manages more than 40 functioning synagogues in all of Netherlands (of which thirteen in Amsterdam) and more than 350 cemeteries. The rabbis lead in collaboration with their Board members the Dutch Jewish community.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">NIK is the largest and most important representative of Dutch Jewry and for that reason is this organization also founded. King William I took place in 1814 (to French example) that the Jewish communities had to unite in one organization. Until then, each Jewish municipality still a large administrative autonomy, but this changed in the course of the nineteenth century due to the Lighting. Instead of foreigners were Jews Dutch citizens who were to Christian fellow citizens equal before the law. Hence, the NIK also ' Israelite ' was mentioned. The incumbent power no longer officially considered Jews as a separate people (' the Jewish nation '), but as citizens of the Israelite religion. The elegant concept of Israelite also had to conceal something. ' Jews ' was, at the time such a common term that some people to this day of ' Jewish people ' speak to emphasize that this is really about people. In those days, of course, that the State a Christian power was evidenced by the term ' denomination ', a term which, of course, is not of Jewish origin.

However, more and more Jews migrated to the big city. Before the war, the number of Jewish municipalities thereby already was down to 139.

Large differences lie in the fact that at the Masorti Judaism, that in America known as ' Conservative ' and between Orthodox and Reform in is, men and women can have equal tasks in the prayer services and that they are usually mixed. There are, however, major differences between local municipalities. Especially in the European Masortigemeenten there are many who adhere to the traditional distribution of roles between men and women in worship keep.
