Cuba Jewish Community
Down to 2,383 Persons;
400 Reported Left in '65
NEW YORK (JTA)—The Jewish
community in Cuba, numbering
10,000 persons before the Castro
regime, has now been reduced to
2,383 persons, according to reports
reaching here from Havana. The
data are based on the distribution
this year of Passover products sent
to Cuba by Jewish organizations in
Canada.
The report expressed the belief
that about 400 Jews have left Cuba
this year. This figure is also ba:ed
on the distribution of matzo and
other Passover products. Last
Passover there were 2,785 recip-
ients of such products, while this
Passover their number decreased
by 402.
Considering that there is a
shortage of food in Cuba, it is as-
sumed that no Jew there, religious
or non-religious, refused accept-
ance of Passover food. Of the
2,383 recipients, 1,9C7 were resi-
dents of Havana, while 476 re-
sided in provincial towns. They
constituted 760 families in Hav-
ana and 211 families in the prov-
inces.
