Youth of the Patronato
Jewish Community Center, Havana
| Welcome to the internet's most comprehensive website on Cuban Judaism. Judaism in Cuba, like other religions there, was severely restricted for almost three decades. Now it is being rebuilt by the ten percent of the Jewish population which remained after the "revolution." As individual congregations struggle for survival with only a remnant of their former population, new strains are put upon them as some families leave for Israel. Can Judaism in Cuba survive? Ten years ago only a tentative "yes" could be given, but now, with the support of Jewish communities from around the world, Judaism in Cuba grows stronger each year. Our original intent in developing this website, to promote individual involvement in the rebirth of Judaism in Cuba, has been the same during our eight years online. |
