Antwerp’s Shomrei Hadas kehillah celebrated 200 years since its establishment in 1818.

Shomrei Hadas, the oldest of Antwerp’s three kehillos, was formally recognized in 1876 by royal decree.

The second kehillah was organized in 1898 by Portuguese Jews, and a third, Machzikei Hadas, was founded in 1892 by immigrants from Eastern Europe.
