But the self-governing British overseas territory—which is said to have both the highest per-capita income and the highest cost of living of any country or territory in the world— is not in the Caribbean, where most people think it is. In fact, Bermuda is a less than two hour flight from New York. Now, following decades of regular visits by Chabad Roving Rabbis, Bermuda will be getting the nation’s first permanent Chabad House, led by Rabbi Chaim and Menuchy Birnhack.

“We’ve never had a full-time rabbi or spiritual leader who could inspire the community and also attract new Jewish residents,” explained Bermuda local Warren Bank.
