Nederlands Israëlitisch Kerkgenootschap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nederlands-Israëlitisch Kerkgenootschap (English: Dutch Israelite Religious Community) (NIK) is the umbrella organisation for most Ashkenazi Jewish communities in the Netherlands, and is Orthodox in nature, while to be described as traditional in outlook. The expression Orthodox, is for the Dutch situation at least, of a later date than the existence of the congregations that make up the NIK and the NIK itself. The Rabbi of the NIK is Rabbi Dr. Raphael Evers. In total, the NIK has some 20[citation needed] rabbis actively working in 18 congregations throughout the country, serving some 5,000 Jews.[citation needed]
