Rabbi Avraham and Mushky Feldman, alongide Eugene and Naomi Shvidler and Rabbi Mendy Kotlarsky, celebrate at the ribbon cutting of the Beit Shvidler Jewish Center of Iceland, the country’s first Jewish center and Jewish culture house, on July 7, 2026.
Iceland Gets Its First Jewish Center
The dream in question is the Beit Shvidler Jewish Center of Iceland, a 9,000-square-foot structure that opened that evening as the country’s first Jewish center and Jewish culture house. Three stories tall, its distinctive color and design makes the building a landmark and instantly recognizeable.
