Being Jewish in Taiwan - It's Possible!

Opened in the summer of 2011,
and within a very short while, Chabad Taiwan had become the center of Jewish life in Taiwan, thus naming itself -Taipei Jewish Center.
A country of 24 million, Taiwan, enjoys a population of about 1000 Jewish residents.
Diplomats, expats, teachers and students are a part of the small community, each with their own background and affiliation. In addition, hundreds of Jewish travelers, mainly businessmen visit Taiwan during the year.

Jewish life & activities

Jewish life in Taiwan is a vibrant, welcoming, and growing community anchored by the warmth of Chabad Taiwan in Taipei. Serving as a true “home away from home” in East Asia, Chabad provides a warm haven for local residents, expats, business travelers, and tourists alike. From joyful, song-filled Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations to adult education, children’s programs, and fresh kosher dining through the Kosher Culinary Lab, Chabad’s activities bring Jewish traditions to life right in the heart of Taiwan. It is a unique and uplifting experience to gather around the table in Taipei, connecting with fellow members of the global Jewish family while sharing stories and vibrant energy thousands of miles from home.
