Extremely rigorous security interrogation to get in, must bring passport and answer many personal questions about one's faith. That being said, once in, the service was nice and everyone at the shabbat dinner was very welcoming and the food was delicious.
Warm, welcoming and friendly community. Hope to return soon!
I came on the evening of Yom Kippur. I managed to get in for Kol Nidre, even though apparently they had sold seats, which surprised me, because I thought that was only in America. But when I came back the next day the security detail said only people who had paid could come in. The evening before the rabbi had asked everyone to come in the morning to make sure there was a minyan all day long. So I don't know where the problem came from. But it was the most disgraceful thing I have ever experienced in a shul. I went to Jerba (in Tunisia) one year and had no problem getting in for the whole service. This kind of stuff makes Jews look bad and is against Judaism. So I guess they are working on their sins for next year.
The Jewish community
Great center can find anything jewish here
Nice local shul. They have 3 minyanim daily and they daven Nusach Sfard. Just make sure to bring your passport the first time you go or else they won't let you in.
Very unfriendly crowd
