B'nai B'rith is the biggest international Jewish organization dedicated to the security and the continuity of Jewish identity and State of Israel, protection of human rights, fight against anti-Semitic tendencies and providing services to the Jewish community on the broadest principles of humanity.

The mission of B'nai B'rith is to unify Jewish community worldwide and strengthen their Jewish identity. Our members are only the most eminent members of Jewish community. Love to the next and tolerance are our basic postulates.

One of the B'nai B'rith's principles is it's neutral stand to the religion and politics. Our members can be of various religious orientations and have various political standing points.

The motto of B'nai B'rith is "Charity, Fraternal Love and Harmony".

B’nai B’rith has the status of a NGO and has as such a continuous presence within the United Nations, the UNESCO, the Council of Europe, the USA and the European Union.

B'nai B'rith in Croatia was established in 1927 under the name "Zagreb Lodge 1090", thanks to a group of eminent members of the Jewish community of that time. This Lodge acted in Zagreb until 1941 when it was dismissed. It's members were the first that were taken and killed in the death camps.

Thanks to the group of enthusiasts under leadership of Dr Dragan Stern and due to his enormous international reputation, the work of B'nai B'rith in Croatia was renewed in 1998. Among the renewers were the most eminent members of Jewish community in Croatia – presidents of almost all Jewish Communities, the Advisor to the President of Croatia and Ambassador, doctors, jurists, college professors, businessmen and artists.
