The Irish Jewish Route
BS”D THE IRISH JEWISH ROUTE Welcome to Ireland – or as they say here, Fáilte go hÉireann! Jews have had a presence in Ireland for close to 1000 years, with the earliest mentions occurring in the Annals of Innisfallen of 1079. Small communities would pop up, develop and expire throughout the middle ages, mainly in and around Dublin, but also in other port cities, such as Cork and Limerick. It was not until the 18th and 19th centuries that a stronger Jewish presence was able to establish itself, and in 1892, Dublin Hebrew Congregation was founded on Adelaide Road. In the 20th century, the Jewish community rose to 5,000, with over a half-dozen synagogues at its peak in the early 1950s. However, due to economic migration, the community declined to about 1800 by the early 1990s. Since then, it has slowly and steadily grown to about 2000, and held there. However, the composition of the community is changing, with 30% having arrived within the last 10 years alone. The Jewish community, in its manner and organization, is very similar to what you might find elsewhere around the British Isles, and the largest Orthodox synagogue, Dublin Hebrew Congregation, now located in Terenure, affiliates informally with the British United Synagogue. There is a smaller and older “shtibl”-type shul, Machzikei Hadass, that has remained independent since its founding in 1883. The chief Orthodox congregation in town is Dublin Hebrew Congregation (32 Rathfarnham Rd, Terenure, Dublin 6 (Dublin Bus routes: 16, 17; other nearby Top Tips for DHC visitors: stops include: 49, 15, 15a, 15b, 65, 65b) DHC has services 7 days a week. -
