Friends of MIE
become a friend
Become a ‘Friend of Snoa’ and enjoy the benefits thereof while at the same time supporting the oldest Jewish community in continuous existence in the Americas. Founded in 1651 and with the current synagogue having been consecrated in 1732, Mikvé Israel-Emanuel in Curaçao is a birthplace of Judaism in the Americas.
In Judaism, eighteen is the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai,” which means “life.” It has therefore become a Jewish custom to give monetary gifts or charity in increments of 18, thus symbolically blessing the recipient of the gift with a good long life. Please also consider making your donation today one that keeps on giving year-after-year by ticking the appropriate box. Our congregation is deeply grateful for each individual chai pledged by friends, which helps breathe continuous life into our synagogue.
