Turks and Caicos is an archipelago of 40 low-lying coral islands in the Atlantic Ocean, a British Overseas Territory southeast of the Bahamas. The gateway island of Providenciales, known as Provo, is home to expansive Grace Bay Beach, with luxury resorts, shops and restaurants. Scuba-diving sites include a 14-mile barrier reef on Provo’s north shore and a dramatic 2,134m underwater wall off Grand Turk island.
Turks & Caicos Islands are blessed with a small and growing, diverse Jewish community. The congregation consists of mostly expatriate Jewish communities from around the world. It depends on how many locals and visitors are on the island, whether or not there are sufficient people for a minyan. In 2020, a Chabad Center opened on Providenciales to serve thekosher & Jewish needs of the small Jewish community and kosher vacation visitors. The Chabad of Turks & Caicos Islands provides kosher Shabbat meals, help with kosher food and minyanim.
