1996 GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO

Sightseeing through a mag-
nificent countryside, with a bit of
sociological observation thrown
in, was one aspect of our visit; the
other, connecting with its Jewish
community.
The present congregation
started in 1941, when the U.S.
Navy set up a large base on the
island. Thousands of servicemen
and women were stationed there
for the duration, hundreds of
Jews among them. The rabbi as-
signed as their chaplain con-
ducted the first Jewish services
Bermuda had known until then.
The Navy base has closed, but
Jewish religious life has contin-
ued, for ex-Navy people who
chose to remain in Bermuda and
for American businessmen,
accountants, physicists, law-yers,
doctors, engineers and others
who are either on a temporary
assignment of several years or
who have elected to stay perma-
nently.
At a harborside seafood
restaurant in St. George's—the
picturesque, 17th century village
at the eastern tip of the island—
we met last month with Diana
Lynn, the young woman who
serves as the congregation's lay
leader and hazan.
The Lynns are typical of the
Jewish families of which the con-
gregation is largely comprised.
Diana and husband Fred are na-
tives of Washington, D.C., where
they were active members of
Tifereth Israel, a Conservative
synagogue. They have been in
Bermuda for the past seven
years—Fred, in research and Di-
ana, the director of Elderhostel;
their son and daughter attend-
ing a local elementary school.
Diana calls Bermuda a gan
eden, a semi-tropical Paradise.
The air is unpolluted—no car
rentals allowed, only one auto-
mobile per family, no factories; a
limit on the number of cruise
ships only four may dock at any
given time, and they must hook
up their waste system with the
island's sewer system; no income
or sales taxes; 100 per cent liter-
acy; until recently, an absence of
violent crime.
There are, Diana adds, an im-
mediacy of sea and shoreline (the
island is never more than a mile
wide), an accessibility to New
York—only two hours distant by
plane—and the presence of a lo-
cal culture of museums, art gal-
leries, ballet, theater, symphony
orchestra, all nourished and en-
ergized by the facile connection
to the mainland..
Despite these conections and
despite the seductions of Bermu-
dan life, Diana admits that "even-
tually" the family will opt for a
return to a States-side city. "Jew-
ishly speaking," she says, "we are
lonely."
But in the meantime, Lynn
heads a congregation which vig-
orously maintains an active Jew-
