Rabbi of Jewish Community in Dubai, UAE

Rabbi Levi Duchman

Speaking on:

"Is it safe living today as a Jew on Arab soil? What's the Jewish community like in the United Arab Emirates? And what does the future hold?"

Days ago, the world was amazed by the “Breaking News” announcement of the Abraham Accord, a peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. This week, we have the tremendous privilege of hosting Rabbi Levi Duchman LIVE from Dubai, to share with us his thoughts on the local Jewish community, its past, its present, and its future.

ALL WELCOME!

At just 27 years old, Rabbi Levi Duchman has big shoes to fill. The Brooklyn-born Chabad Rabbi in the United Arab Emirates has been helping to quietly build a Jewish community, which this month was able to emerge from its humble shadows.

In a quiet suburb of Dubai, local Jews have congregated in the small villa that serves as their synagogue on Shabbat and festivals. That remained a closely guarded secret until this month’s historic normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE. 

The Jewish community started as an informal grouping that met on an ad hoc basis. 

In 2013, it developed into a formalized prayer group, which has conducted religious services for nearly every Shabbat and festival. Hundreds of residents and thousands of visitors have enjoyed the services over the years.

Rabbi Duchman has also been instrumental in establishing a synagogue in Dubai, and he even has kosher food produced locally.
