About Our Community
We are committed to sustaining Jewish life in Bermuda and have been doing so for decades.
Resourceful, Inclusive, and Completely Volunteer-Run
This is very unique to our community: all of our education programming, celebrations, meetings, administration, and events are organized and executed by community members. With the exception of the high holidays where a visiting rabbi leads services, everything else for the entire year is managed and led by volunteers, including organizing proper Jewish burials in our own Jewish cemetery and facilitating brit milot .
Multicultural, Unaffiliated, Egalitarian Community
Due to the nature of our island, we have been lucky to welcome a diverse membership throughout our community’s history, with orthodox, conservative and reform members, both Sephardic and Ashkenazi. We are also small enough (and committed enough!) to meet everyone's individual needs when possible.
Gathered Around A Community Centre
After years of hosting events and holidays at private residences we entered a 15-year lease for our community centre from 2008, and have a Torah of our own. This Sefer Torah was generously donated by a former community member.
A registered non-profit in both the US and Bermuda.
Our community relies upon the generous support of our members and visitors not only to continue regular programming, celebrations and observances but also to subsidize our building maintenance. We are also a member of the Commonwealth Jewish Council.
A decades-old and well-established community
We have been doing this for thirty years. Our community has roots. What was once high holiday services on the former naval base has now become a steady community in Bermuda and a registered charity with a lease on a community centre, educational classes, and events calendar.
