The Centro Israelita de República Dominicana is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic.

The Chabad Lubavitch movement was established in the Dominican Republic in 2008, and the congregation has grown and developed since then.[1] There is no permanent rabbi in the Dominican Republic, with the congregations in Santo Domingo and Sosúa supported by visiting rabbis, predominately form Miami and Colombia.[2]
