AEPJ Honours Daniel S. Mariaschin for His Commitment to Jewish Heritage in Europe
On 27 May 2026, during a ceremony held in New York, USA, the President of the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ), François Moyse, presented a Medal of Recognition to Daniel S. Mariaschin, long-time CEO of B’nai B’rith International, who will shortly retire from his position after decades of leadership and service to Jewish communal life.
In his remarks, François Moyse recalled the creation of AEPJ and paid tribute to the organisation’s founder, Claude Bloch. He also highlighted the important role played by B’nai B’rith International, and in particular the continuous support and engagement of Daniel S. Mariaschin, in advocating for the safeguarding and promotion of Jewish heritage across Europe.
The ceremony brought together a large number of current and former leaders, professionals and representatives of Jewish organisations from across the United States, reflecting the longstanding ties and shared commitment between European and international Jewish institutions in preserving Jewish culture, memory and heritage for future generations.
Through this recognition, AEPJ wished to express its gratitude for Daniel S. Mariaschin’s enduring contribution to strengthening international cooperation in the field of Jewish heritage and cultural preservation.
