Caerphilly Communities

 

From the 1870's, new Jewish communities sprung up across the Valleys of Wales, those in the central sector being situated in towns which are now located in the county borough of Caerphilly, which was created in 1996 from the Rhymney Valley district of Mid Glamorgan and the Islwyn district of Gwent. There are now very few Jews left in the region.

The following congregations existed in what is now Caerphilly:

Bargoed Hebrew Congregation
Newbridge Hebrew Congregation
New Tredegar Hebrew Congregation


Articles of the Welsh Valleys

How 'Greeners' Came to the Valley' - an article by Michael Wallach, which appeared in the Jewish Chronicle Colour Magazine in 1975 and makes reference to many of the Communities in the Welsh Valley.
