Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Louisville

The Jewish population of around 8,500 in the city is served by five synagogues. Most Jewish families emigrated from Eastern Europe at the start of the 10th century; around 800 Soviet Jews have moved to Louisville since 1991. There are limited options for kosher food in Louisville. Orthodox kosher supervision is available through the Vaad Hakashruth. The rabbis at the Conservative congregations also offer kosher supervision. Most of Jewsih life is located to the west of the city center, in Seneca Gardens and Meadowview Estates.
