Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, the country's largest city, had a Jewish population of about 75,000 (including diarist Anne Frank), which increased to over 79,000 in 1941. Jews represented less than 10 percent of the city's total population. Since WWII the community has managed to rebuild a vibrant and living Jewish life for its approximately 15,000 present members. Most of the Amsterdam Jewish community (excluding the Progressive and Sephardic communities) is affiliated to the Ashkenazi Nederlands Israëlitisch Kerkgenootschap. There are 6 Orthodox Ashkenaz synagogues and 1 each of Reform, Reconstructionist and Sephardic. Kosher food in Amsterdam restaurants and shops is available. There is the possibility of eating kosher in Restaurant Ha-Carmel, and the well-known Sandwichshop Sal-Meijer. There is a Jewish area in Buitenveldert (close to the Jewish shopping area), in south Amsterdam.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
