Jewish Orlando
A LTHOUGH the Reunion Resort is secular, the adjacent
Orlando area has a vibrant and growing Jewish commu-
nity. This provides those who seek a Jewish experience while
they are visiting the resort and Orlando easy access to a com-
prehensive range of Jewish services and places of worship.
The original Jews came to Orlando with other pioneers,
drawn by cattle and cotton, and eventually got involved in
the citrus industry. There were about 16 Jewish families at
the end of the Civil War. When the Disney boom came to
Orlando in the 1970s, it attracted many Jews as part of the
new population boom. Today, there are about 19,000 Jews
out of a population of 277,000.
Jewish places of worship are scattered throughout Orlan-
do. These include seven Orthodox congregations, four
Conservative congregations and six Reform congregations.
The Orthodox community has a significant presence, with
an eruv, a mikvah, synagogues, day schools and ample access
to kosher food, including at some Disney World restaurants
and at least six other restaurants in the greater Orlando area.
Conservative and Reform congregations also are well
represented in the greater Orlando metropolitan area. And
there are a wide range of regional Jewish institutions serv-
ing the Jewish population.
Jewish organizations in town constitute a broad cross
section of typical urban Jewish institutions, plus a newspa-
per and educational organizations including a Hillel Founda-
tion at the University of Central Florida, a Jewish day school
and senior housing. The Roth Family Jewish Community
