Most of the Caribbean is-
lands have a history of
Jewish settlement dating
back from the Inquisition.
In fact, the neighboring
Dutch - ruled island of
Curacao has reportedly un-
broken history of Jewish
population. However, Aru-
ba's Jewish history isn't
quite as colorful nor as con-
tinuous.
True,
there
are
tombstones dating from the
16th Century, but there
were few Jews in Aruba
until 1922 when the first
East European Jew landed
here.
The first Jews to repopu-
late the island community
had begun coming from
Eastern Europe in the
1920s, but by the 1930s,
with problems heating up
for the Jews, many more
had moved to the Carib-
bean. By the end of 1930,
the Aruba Jewish commu-
nity numbered 38 families.
A Jewish center was fi-
nally established and in
1935, the first Torah was
'purchased. Minyans
were still required to
meet in each other's
homes.
It wasn't until 1962 that
the Dutch government gave
the Jews permission to
build their own synagogue.
By then, many of the origi-
nal families had left the is-
land.

There aren't many yOung
Jewish people in Aruba, but
education is a high priority.
Classes are taught for both
youngsters and post Bar
Mitzva. Intermarriage is a
worry but the Aruba Jewish
community has survived
this long and will no doubt
continue for some time to
come.
A good man, through
obscurest aspirations, has
still an instinct of the one
true way.

Cong. Beth Israel, located
just off the main road on the
south end of town, was
finished in 1968. While the
building, itself, is in good
condition, William Rudy,
the cantor who is the cur-
rent leader of Aruba's
Jewish community, says
that they are now trying to
fund a new roof.
Rudy, who lives next to
the synagogue, in a house
that was especially built for
the shul's leader, says that
the services are traditional
with mixed seating. Serv-
ices are held on Friday
nights since Saturday is the
most common day for ships
to disgorge their tourists for
shopping and a majority of
the members are involved
in the clothing or jewelry
business.
Few people on the is-
land keep kosher, mainly
because everything must
be flown in from Miami.
Rev. Rudy says that
many of the larger hotels
will arrange to get kosher
dinners. However, with
the abundance of fish,
few people seem to re-
quire it.
During Passover, a mas-
sive order is made and the
special items are then im-
ported. One Passover, the
synagogue went public. In
the Grand Ballroom of the
Concorde, 800 people lis-
tened to the seder. More
than a few had to be turned
away.
