Welcome to Comunidad Judía de les Illes Balears

June 10, 2024

The Comunidad Judía de les Illes Balears (Jewish Community of the Balearic Islands) is a vibrant and active organisation dedicated to serving the Jewish population in this Spanish archipelago. Based primarily in Palma de Mallorca, the community encompasses a range of activities and services designed to meet the spiritual, cultural, and social needs of its members.

Historically, the Balearic Islands have had a complex and often tumultuous Jewish history, marked by periods of flourishing and persecution. The modern community, however, is a testament to the resilience and enduring presence of Jewish life in the region. Today, it offers a variety of religious services, including regular Shabbat and holiday services, lifecycle events such as weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs, and educational programmes for both children and adults.

In addition to religious activities, the Comunidad Judía de les Illes Balears is deeply engaged in cultural and social initiatives. These include lectures, cultural events, and social gatherings that aim to strengthen community bonds and foster a deeper understanding of Jewish heritage. The community also places a strong emphasis on outreach and maintaining connections with other Jewish communities both within Spain and internationally.

The community’s centre in Palma serves as the hub for these activities, providing a welcoming space for worship, learning, and social interaction. Through its efforts, the Comunidad Judía de les Illes Balears plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Jewish life and culture in the Balearic Islands.
