Welsh Jewry
« on: September 18, 2007, 12:03:43 AM »
The Welsh Jewish community took form when Jews who sought to escape persecution and stifled opportunity immigrated from Russia and Eastern Europe. Today, Cardiff has 2 synagogues one of which is Orthodox. There is a Jewish kindergarten. Kosher food is sold in several shops. Jews also live in Llandudno, Newport, and Swansea.

I don't know. That's why I said you should ask Chaim.



Isn't everybody welcome at synagogue? In Brisbane everybody's welcome as long as they cover their head and don't wave crusafixes around.

Every synagogue I've ever been to (hundreds probably from hasidic to reconstuctionist) is open to the public so long as the married women cover their hair and the guys put on kippah. Call someone from the synagogue- tell them you are interested and go ahead. You could always just go ahead on your own but them knowing might make you feel more comfortable and also they may have someone help navigate through the hebrew and explain the service to you. Hope you enjoy it!

decimos, is there some historic connection between the Welsh and Jews? I was told by a Welshman here in Australia that some Welsh people consider themselves to be from a lost tribe of Israel. Is this belief common or was this person just a nutter?

That is nonsense. There was a wacko on here promoting that. He has since been banned. The Welsh are from Gomer, a descendant of Japheth, son of Noah, not The Jews, descendants of Shem.



What am I promoting exactly? a question was asked and I responded with what I found,ie google. If you ask a Welshman or woman{such as my wife} do you think you descend from Japeth.son of Noah? You would get a funny look.I personally do not believe in any of it,that is to say the lost tribe thing...but ofc  i maybe wrong.

The young Jewish children of Wales must, without question, be the most unfortunate children in the world.

Having to learn how to read those street signs in the Welsh language, and then switch instantly to learning how to read Hebrew at schul, is more than anyone should have to endure.

This has produced the psychological syndrome known as "the triple Meshugenah"!
