History of the Jews in Ireland

History of the Jews in Ireland A Jewish wedding party outside Ireland s Waterford Courthouse in 1901. Jews have made their home in Ireland for centuries, and many have risen to be successful and prominent figures in politics, business, and theology. Ireland produced Chaim Herzog, the sixth president of Israel, and Leopold Bloom - the hero of James Joyce s Ulysses, a canonical Irish text - is a Jew. However, the Irish Jewish community can hardly be called thriving, and Jews have not always been welcomed in this predominantly Catholic country. During the Holocaust, Ireland denied refuge to Jews in search of escape from the Nazis, and antisemitism has been a minor but persistent problem.

For many in this post-industrial city of 280,000, it has conjured memories of the Troubles, a three-decade period of sectarian violence that left thousands dead and pushed thousands of others to leave.

Celebrating Hanukkah thousands of miles from home

BBC News By Gerald Lennon We celebrate Hanukkah every year - it s a big part of my family celebrations. Raquel Schonker, 19, is spending her second Hanukkah away from her family who live in Australia. Now living in Belfast, she was not able to find traditional Jewish candles in the city but luckily her grandmother sent her a chanukiah and ner mitzvah candles to light during the festival. It s my favourite Jewish holiday - it s a family holiday for us and considering the circumstances we have been able to do what we can to get to share it together, she said.
