Rabbis Hold Outreach in Antigua
ST JOHNS, Antigua — Two Rabbis; Yosef Chaim Laima Barber and Moshe Katz are visiting Antigua and Barbuda under an annual Jewish outreach programme.
The programme falls under the umbrella of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which is geared at bringing Jews closer to their heritage.
Each summer, 400 Jewish students in groups of two, set off to far parts of the globe from the Chabad headquarters in New York. They do this in an attempt to reach out to their fellow Jews anywhere they may be.
This is the third visit to Antigua and Barbuda for the two visitors. Other groups have visited the island, including last September to celebrate Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and again in April for Passover.
The men arrived in Antigua from St. Lucia on Monday evening and will be staying in Antigua for one week. During their stay, they will meet with Jews and will be providing them with kosher meals, Jewish articles and any other items they may need and cannot access ordinarily.
They will also be making stops in Anguilla and Barbados as a part of their group outreach, focussing on the Eastern Caribbean.
Already, they have been able to make contact with 10 of the documented 30 Jews on island and hope to later add more to the list.

Are there Rabbi’s that live on Antigua? I am a wedding planner and have a couple who wants to be married there but cannot afford to bring their own Rabbi with them. I would appreciate any information you may have! Thank You!
