Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Luanda

Chabad moved into Luanda in 2016. Chabad of Angola is directed by Rabbi Levi Yitzchak and Devorah Leah Chekly, who moved there with their young daughter a year-and-half-ago. The Cheklys, who speak French, Hebrew and English, have been reaching out to the estimated 300 Jewish families living full-time in Angola, in addition to visitors. Initially housed in a small apartment, the family will now move into the three-story villa and workspace.
