On August 25, 1988, it was officially decided to establish the 'Lithuanian Jewish Cultural Society'. In March 1989, the founding meeting of the society took place. Simon Alperovitch was appointed as executive director. On November 17, 1991, the founding conference of the Lithuanian Jewish Community took place in Vilnius, where a resolution was adopted to re-establish the Lithuanian Jewish Cultural Society with the name Lithuanian Jewish Community. In 2012, it was proposed that certain monies anticipated as
Holocaust compensation in Lithuania through the 'Good Will' scheme might be used to fund Lithuanian Jewish Community projects. In 2019, threats received by phone and letter resulted in the closure of the LŽB headquarters and the
Choral Synagogue in Vilnius. However, a few days later, following security guarantees, the LŽB welcomed the reopening of both the synagogue and their headquarters. ==Facilities==
