About
Deal is a small beach town on the Jersey Shore with a large Sephardic community, mostly Syrian, that fills up in the summer. Long Branch, West Long Branch and Bradley Beach nearby add more shuls, kosher food and hotels by the ocean.
Best time to goJune–Aug is the season, when the community is in town; it is much quieter in winter.

Where to stay
Hotels by walk or drive to minyan
Walking and driving time from each hotel to the nearest shul and kosher food. Tap a hotel for its map, phone numbers and directions.
Loading hotels…
Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
Minyan
Shuls & Chabad
Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
86 shuls, Chabad houses and kosher places in this city were added or completed by hand from ShulMap and the JSOR kosher list (checked November 2026). Each one links to its source.
Not every shul is on the map yet: search synagogues on Google Maps. Denomination is shown only where it is mapped. Something wrong? Report a correction.
