THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF ARUBA:
Beth Israel Synagogue (Oranjestad, Aruba)
Beth Israel Synagogue is the
synagogue of the Aruban Jewish community, located in Oranjestad, Aruba.
Beth Israel Synagogue is an independent congregation
with a liberal style similar to Reform Judaism or Conservative Judaism.
Community
The community consists mostly of Jewish immigrants
that arrived in Aruba from different parts of the world, and made it
their home. After 1924, a large group of Eastern European Jews, mostly
from Poland, settled here, together with Jews from the Netherlands and
Sephardic families from Suriname, another Dutch colony at that time. The
community opened a Jewish center in 1942 – the Jewish Country Club – and
four years later, with the arrival of some Holocaust survivors, the
community was officially organized.
Today, there are about 75
members, plus 180 overseas members. Due to its small size, and the
intimate, close knit nature of the community, one joint organization was
formed, blending the Sephardic with the Ashkenazic traditions,
respecting the common culture, and enjoying the differences.
