My wife and I have visited and enjoyed diving Bonaire multiple times and have considered moving there in retirement. As practicing, but not very religious, Reform Jews, we were wondering whether there are any other Jewish people who live on Bonaire. If so, roughly how many are there, and what do you/they do for observance of the major holidays and life-cycle events. (We know that Curacao has the longest-existing Jewish congregation in the Western hemisphere, at more than 350 years, but are clueless about a Jewish presence on Bonaire.)

You are invited to celebrate our Passover next year and read with us from the Bonaire Hagaddah. There is enough for a minion and we are also looking into have some ground consecrated for those of us who wish to remain here. E mail me and I will be happy to supply more info You are in charge of bringing the matzoh.

Can the matzoh be in the form of a bagel, Michael?? Hugs. Carole
