The Jewish community of Barcelona, a united mix of flavours and colours
By Noam Gaash
Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain. Its Jewish community, officially known as La Comunidad Israelita de Barcelona (CIB), is the most ancient in the country, the first established after the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492. In 2018, the centenary of the community was celebrated.
The community owns the single Jewish school in Barcelona, managed by the Hatikvah Foundation, where around 300 students are learning. There are three Jewish cemeteries located outside the city, a country club for sport and social activies. The main building of the Jewish community houses the single Mikveh and the Grand Synagogue of Barcelona called “Maimonides”, the greatest Jewish philosopher, who lived during twelfth century in Girona, Catalonia
