Four active Orthodox synagogues serving Gibraltar’s Jewish community and heritage.

Gibraltar has four Orthodox synagogues: Sha'ar Hashamayim (Great Synagogue), Ets Hayim (Little Synagogue), Nefusot Yehudah (Flemish Synagogue) and Abudarham Synagogue. Located in Gibraltar’s town streets, they follow Gibraltarian/Moroccan Sephardi nusach and are affiliated with the Jewish Community of Gibraltar as active congregations under the Government of Gibraltar.

The synagogues in Gibraltar form a small but active network of Orthodox congregations within this British overseas territory. There are four main synagogues: Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue, also known as Esnoga Sha'ar Hashamayim and Esnoga Grande (the Great Synagogue), located at 47/49 Engineer Lane; Ets Hayim Synagogue, also called Esnoga Chica (the Little Synagogue), in Irish Town; Nefusot Yehudah Synagogue, also known as Esnoga Nefusot Yehudah and the Flemish Synagogue, at 65 Line Wall Road; and Abudarham Synagogue, or Esnoga Abudarham, at 19 Parliament Lane. Sha'ar Hashamayim was founded in 1724 and rebuilt in 1768. Ets Hayim was founded in 1759, Nefusot Yehudah in 1781, and Abudarham Synagogue in 1820. All four congregations worship in the Orthodox Jewish tradition, following a Gibraltarian/Moroccan Sephardi nusach. Each synagogue is affiliated with the Jewish Community of Gibraltar and operates under the local authority of the Government of Gibraltar. Communal records such as birth, marriage and burial entries for Gibraltar’s Sephardi congregations are accessible through Jewish Communities & Records UK (JCR‑UK). The synagogues remain active centers of religious and communal life for Jews in Gibraltar.
