Beth Israel also shares their house of worship with the Jewish Community of Aruba (Israelitische Gemeente). As of 2013, the Jewish population is around 85. The former Prime Minister Mike Eman is Jewish. Eman has interacted with Chabad visiting Rabbis as well as with Chabad's permanent rabbi on the island. His brother Henny Eman was the first Prime Minister of Aruba. (en) |
