The Jewish presence in Andorra has been minimal, with no significant historical community. However, during World War II, the country served as a passageway for Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis, with Andorrans providing food and shelter to those escaping persecution.
In recent years, the Jewish community has seen notable developments. In November 2024, Chabad Rabbi Kuty Kalmenson and his family arrived in Andorra, marking the establishment of the country's first full-time rabbinical presence. Their mission is to serve the local Jewish population as well as the many Jewish tourists visiting the principality.
Despite these advancements, Andorra currently lacks dedicated kosher establishments. Visitors seeking kosher dining options may need to plan ahead, bringing their own provisions or exploring nearby cities like Toulouse or Barcelona, which offer a variety of kosher restaurants and Jewish cultural sites.
While Andorra's Jewish community remains small, the appointment of a full-time Chabad rabbi is a positive step toward accommodating Jewish residents and visitors, contributing to the country’s growing cultural diversity.
