Memory register · custodian, not owner
Cape Town harbored the oldest Jewish community in South Africa, with a Jewish presence attested from the very beginnings of European settlement at the Cape of Good Hope, and an organized congregation taking shape in the first half of the nineteenth century. The community was subsequently considerably reinforced by Litvak immigration from the late nineteenth century onward. Active in commerce and the professions, it established synagogues, schools, and communal institutions and played a prominent role in the life of the city. Like all South African Jewry, it experienced significant emigration after 1994, while remaining a rooted and structured community.
