The Orthodox Jewish community in Gibraltar is a small but vibrant community that has a rich history and unique culture. The community has been present in Gibraltar for over 300 years and has established itself as an important part of the country's cultural heritage.
The community is primarily Sephardic, meaning that its members are descended from Jews who lived in Spain and Portugal before being expelled during the Inquisition. Many of these Jews settled in Gibraltar and established a thriving community, which has maintained its distinct Sephardic traditions and practices.
Weddings in Gibraltar occur in the main synagogue & only offer weddings to orthodox Jewish couples. As an orthodox community the Rabbi via the community will only marry couples who hold documentation of orthodox Judaism, therefore we recommend if you are coming to Gibraltar and would like to get married but arent Orthodox, you can still pick another venue to get married & we can organise a wedding based on your religious and cultural needs.
If you are orthodox and wish to get married in Gibraltar, Hour Weddings have a close relationship with the community, Yael Steinmann our Isreali born wedding planner (fluent in Hebrew) will be able to assist you on info@hourweddings.com
