    Chabad Hospitality in the cloud forest of Boquete, Panama
    Nov 17 2025
    In the lush, misty highlands of Boquete, Panama, Rabbi Yakov and Hana Poliwoda have created something extraordinary. Perched in the remote cloud forest, they’ve built a vibrant Chabad center that warmly welcomes both locals and Jewish travelers exploring the region’s breathtaking hiking trails, world-renowned coffee plantations, and its iconic volcano.

    From a beautifully-appointed dairy kosher restaurant and meaty meal deliveries straight to hotel rooms, to a picturesque synagogue, lively community events, cozy guest rooms at the Chabad House, and even a pristine mikvah - Boquete’s Jewish oasis offers everything a visitor could need, all in one of the world’s most scenic settings.

    Join Mark and David for an in-depth, heartwarming chat with the remarkable Poliwodas.
