		A Short History of the Jews of Malta ^Votes:0 Arrival of the first Jews The history of the small Jewish Community of Malta goes back to the arrival of the Semitic Phoenician settlers almost three thousand five hundred years ago.

Hardly surprising, therefore, that Malta has always exerted an irresistible attraction to the would-be military powers of successive epoches.
