Beth Israel Synagogue, Jewish synagogue in Oranjestad, Aruba
Beth Israel Synagogue stands as a rectangular building with white walls, featuring traditional Jewish architectural elements at Adriaan Laclé Boulevard in Oranjestad.
The synagogue, completed in 1962, emerged from a Jewish community that began organizing in 1946 after Holocaust survivors arrived in Aruba.
The congregation combines Sephardic and Ashkenazic traditions, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Netherlands, and Suriname.
The synagogue maintains regular services under Rabbi Alberto Zeilicovich, accommodating both its 75 local members and 180 overseas participants throughout the year.
The synagogue grounds connect to an old Jewish cemetery containing gravestones from 1563, documenting early Jewish presence on the Caribbean island.
