Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Santiago

The Jewish population of Santiago is about 11,000 or 12,000. It was only in the late 1800s and early 1900s that a real community was established. Without synagogues observance took place in private homes until 1916, when hundreds of Turkish and Russian Jewish families in Valparaiso formed the Sociedad Israelita Max Nordau. The synagogue moved to Viña del Mar in the 1930s, around the same time German Jews began arriving. There are around 10 synagogues today catering for either Conservative or Orthodox congregants. There are a few kosher restaurants, cafes and shops in Santiago. Many of the Jewish population live in Las Condes a suburb to the East of Santiago.
