The Jewish community at IJsselstein had a synagogue of its own,
located in the Weidstraat, from 1766 until as late as the twentieth
century. The community also had its own cemetery, the location of
which is no longer known.
By the beginning of the nineteenth century, the number of Jews in
IJsselstein had dropped to the point that synagogue services no
longer could be held. With the reapportionment of Dutch Jewish
communities in 1821, the IJsselstein community was merged into that
of Utrecht. Several years later, the IJsselstein community regained
its independent status.
During the nineteenth century, the Jews of IJsselstein worked as
shopkeepers, vendors, tailors, and slaughterers. By the end of the
century, the IJsselstein community went into final decline. The
community was formally dissolved in 1918 and administratively
merged into that of Utrecht. The synagogue was razed
but exactly when is not documented.

A few Jews lived in nearby Montfoort from 1840 to 1930. Due to
their limited numbers, they never formed a separate
community.
