The history of the Jews in Palau is largely limited to the Israeli-born couple Tova and Navot Bornovski, and their children Yarden and Udi, who arrived in Palau in 1993 to operate the Fish 'n Fins diving center and the Barracuda Restaurant. Their family later grew to include Liam Small and Gayl Dilmowais, who were the first recorded Jewish children born on Palau. Both have native middle names.[1] The most visible Jew in Palau is Larry Miller, Associate Justice on the Palau Supreme Court. In sports, 14-year-old Liam Barnavski represented Palau for the first time at the 2009 Maccabiah Games.
The island country has excellent relations with Israel.
