City overview
The Bahamas is an archipelago of over 700 islands, though for kosher travelers the story is almost entirely Nassau and neighboring Paradise Island. Jewish life here runs through Chabad of the Bahamas, led by Rabbi Sholom and Sheera Bluming since 2010, with minyanim held at the Baha Mar resort rather than at the Chabad House itself. Nearly all kosher food in the country sits within Baha Mar: CinKo, a Glatt kosher Asian-Latino meat restaurant, the Cholov Yisroel Knosh food truck on the Hyatt beach, and a takeaway hut behind it. An eruv built by Chabad surrounds the Baha Mar property including all three hotels, though not the wider island. Beyond the resort, kosher groceries can be found at Oasis and Solomon's Fresh Market, with kosher wine at the Flying Dutchman in Cable Beach.
