Abstract [eng] Level of tolerance in Lithuania can be defined by rating the Jewish Community of Lithuania. Full rights and actual life conditions of minorities depend on democracy as civil position and polity, and on civil society as conception that civil society comes from non-governmental organizations. Non-governmental organizations and polity should work together in seeking welfare of government and it's nation. Separate support program, independent of departments and political parties, could be that one element which helps to unite government and non-governmental organizations. Lithuania is an independent country for 20 years already. Minorities who live in Lithuania also became free to become a part of society saving its culture, traditions, customs and to cherish its singularity. History of the Jewish nation determined that establishing non-governmental organization members of The Jewish Community of Lithuania became a symbol and foundation of tolerance and full rights, highlighting spread of democracy and civil society, its advantages and disadvantages. Members of minorities have full rights like all other citizens, therefore projects of members of minorities and Lithuanians would lower generation's belief in past superstitions, stereotypes, old generation's negative "transmission" about the surrounding world. Such projects also need attention of the government to be implemented.
