Jews Living On The Caribbean Islands

Posted: 1/21/2020

Just attended a great exhibition at the Cutler Plotkin Jewish Heritage Center in Phoenix of the Arizona Jewish Historical Society. The exhibition was about “Jewish Treasures of the Caribbean/The Beautiful Synagogues of the Caribbean”. A fascinating history of how Jews came to inhabit the islands.

Please note and imagine that most of the surviving synagogues of the Caribbean islands have beach sand flooring! Just amazing!

Here are some impressions from the exhibit:
