Trey -

There are three Roman Catholic churches, one Anglican church, and one Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall on St Barth. I have never heard any mention of a synagogue on the island.

Kevin . . . where in the world is there a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall on SBH? As the "Master" of island trivia that you are, I'm very impressed by this new bit of info!

Dennis, Credit for educating me about the SBH location of the Temoins de Geova (French for Jehovah's Witnesses) goes to Tim. See this thread (with photos) from January. Temoins de Geova

Dennis,

Since I had biked past it dozens of times before recognition occurred, I too was surprised to find the Jehovahs Witness church on St. Barth. Can you guess where it's located?

Lloyd,

Oui!

Now, can someone name all four of the different routes up to Lurin? Lloyd, I know that you can.

Technically, I don't think you need a synagogue. If you can find 10 Jewish males over the age of 13, you can have a service anywhere. I believe it's called a Minyan.
