Communal Life

Four synagogues and a kollel are in regular use, presided over by a communal rabbi. Almost all Jewish children attend the community’s primary schools, and both boys and girls can attend the Jewish secondary school. There is only a kosher bakery. A weekly newsletter is published by the community. The Jewish community enjoys good relations with the other ethnic groups in the colony-British, Arabs, Indians, and others-and for many years both the Chief Minister and mayor were Jews.

Israel

Israel maintains a consulate in Gibraltar.

Sites

The four synagogues can be visited by arrangement with the community. The old Jewish cemetery, in the Upper Rock, also attracts the interest of Jewish tourists.
