The Beth Israel Synagogue is Aruba's only synagogue, a Progressive Jewish congregation established in the mid-20th century. The current building on Adriaan Laclé Boulevard dates from 1962. It reflects the small but historic Jewish community that settled in Aruba and the wider Dutch Caribbean, a community with roots going back to Sephardic Jews who arrived in Curaçao in the 17th century.
The synagogue is an active house of worship and welcomes visitors at certain times — check locally for current visiting hours. The building itself is modest but worth seeing as a reminder that Aruba's heritage is more diverse than its beach-resort image suggests. Nearby is the National Library of Aruba, another good stop if you are exploring this part of town.
