Tucson, AZ

About This Community

Tucson boasts stunning landscapes and a substantial Jewish population with impressive community infrastructure. The city is home to a tight-knit Observant Jewish community which is steadily establishing itself as a sought-after destination for families seeking the distinctive warmth of climate and personality found uniquely in this out-of-town community. Providing Minyanim, Torah classes, ample resources for Jewish households and abundant access to Kosher food, Tucson maintains its low-key charm, experiencing steady growth in recent years.

The recent surge in young families has spurred the establishment of a new Yeshiva-style day school, an ongoing Eiruv project atop the existing one, property development initiatives, and a range of community events. These efforts are all aimed at propelling this charming city into a position capable of accommodating and fostering rapid growth in the observant sector. Complementing the city's attractive nature and climate are a stunning JCC, a small yet delightful array of Kosher takeout options, and the availability of affordable new housing, which contribute to making Tucson an appealing destination for Jewish families.
