The first Jews arrived in Mauritius from Haifa, British Palestine (now Israel), in the 1940s because they were denied entry to Palestine by the British Government.[1][page needed]
According to the 2011 census, there were about 43 Jews in Mauritius;[2] by 2022, it was reported that there were 100 Jews in the country.[3]
There is a synagogue in Curepipe, and a Jewish cemetery in Bambous.[4][5] Judaism is a minor religion in Mauritius.
