Wales

See also: History of the Jews in Wales

There are records of Jews in Abergavenny, Caerleon and Chepstow in the 13th century, all of them in the Marcher Lordships of South Wales.[343] However, after the English conquest of Wales (1287–1283), Edward I issued the 1290 Edict of Expulsion expelling the Jews from England. It is likely that most, if not all, Jews left Wales after this edict.

A Jewish community was recorded in Swansea in around 1730. Further Jewish communities were formed in the 19th century in Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypridd and Tredegar."[344] Jewish communities in Wales were augmented by refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe in the late 1930s.

The modern community in South Wales is centred on the Cardiff Reform Synagogue and the Cardiff United Synagogue. There is also a synagogue in Swansea. The synagogue of Merthyr Tydfil, the major one north of Cardiff, ceased to hold regular services in the 1970s and the building was later sold.

Northern Ireland

See also: History of the Jews in Ireland

The Jews of Northern Ireland have lived primarily in Belfast, where the Belfast Hebrew Congregation, an Ashkenazi Orthodox community, was established in 1870.[351] Services had previously been held at a private home in Holywood, County Down.[352] Former communities were located in Derry and Lurgan.[353][354][355] The first reference to Jews in Belfast dates from 1652, and a "Jew butcher" was mentioned in 1771, suggesting some semblance of a Jewish community at that time.[356]
