The Freeport Hebrew Congregation is a former Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue, that was located in Freeport, in the Bahamas. Completed in 1972, the synagogue closed in 2021, with its demise attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was the only synagogue in the Bahamas.

History

The synagogue is named after Luis de Torres, identified by Meyer Kayserling's 1894 book Christopher Columbus and the participation of the Jews in the Spanish and Portuguese discoveries as a Sephardic Jew who sailed with Christopher Columbus at the beginning of the European colonization of the Americas. The former synagogue is situated on East Sunrise Highway, between the Lutheran Church and the Roman Catholic "Mary Star of the Sea.". The synagogue functioned from 1972 to 2021 when it shut down because many members (mostly non nationals) left because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
