We are looking at buying in the villages and wonder if there is a Jewish community and how active it is. Thank you.

There is a synagogue IN the villages, don't recall exactly where. Suggest you ask at the TV offices.
When my wife and I visited Feb 07, we included a stop at the temple which was fairly new at that time. We were treated so nice by the members in attendance at that time. I believe $500 family dues for the year was quoted at that time.

Hi, the closest Synagogue to TV is Temple Shalom and is located only about 3 miles from TV.
Here is their info:
13563 County Road 101, Oxford, FL 34484 |
Phone: 352- 748-1800 |
Fax: 352-748-1804 |
I am not a member because we are still only part timers, but last time I looked Membership for 2 was $550 plus about the same for the building fund.
They are a reform temple.
I don't know much about the Jewish community in TV, but perhaps we can use this forum to explore it.

The Temple is golf cart accessible from Talley Ridge Road. The Villages built a golf cart path running next to the golf cart path on the second hole of Glenview's Fox Run golf course.

I post this trying to be informative. Forgive me if it is controversial to anyone's faith. There is also the Chabad-Lubavitch Jewish Center of Marion County. They offer Shabbat Services and a monthly Tefillin Club.

Also, several activities directly in The Villages including a monthly Kabbalah class.

Hi Scooper,

I Googled: "Synagogues near The Villages, FL." This link has address, phone numbers and locations of several in the area. Each has a linked website, so you can find more information about their congregations, etc.
