z

egend has it that Ben
"Bugsy" Siegel helped dis-
cover and develop Las
Vegas. Many Jews have fol-
lowed him to this oasis in the vast
Nevada desert — mostly to gamble
or attend a convention. Some have
liked the place well enough to stay.
Today, there is a thriving Jewish
community.

The community is large enough
to support two Conservative syna-
gogues, two Orthodox, one
Reconstructionist, two Reform, two
Traditional and one independent.
Newly opened in Las Vegas are
offices of the Jewish National Fund,
Anti-Defamation League and Israel
Bonds. There is a recently estab-
lished Hillel on the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas campus and there
are two glatt-kosher restaurants.
All the supermarkets in the
desert-surrounded city carry kosher
food, and there is a kosher bakery.
Chabad has a beautiful mikvah. The
new Jewish day school welcomes the
children of all denominations.
