  • A Brazilian Jewish person is a Brazilian person of matrilineal Jewish ancestry, or a Brazilian who converted into Judaism. The history of the Jews in Brazil is a rather long and complex one, as it stretches from the very beginning of the European settlement in the new continent. Jews started settling in Brazil ever since the Inquisition reached Portugal in the 16th century. They arrived in Brazil during the period of Dutch rule, setting up in Recife the first synagogue in the Americas as early as 1636. Most of those Jews were Sephardic Jews who had fled the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal to the religious freedom of the Netherlands. After the first Brazilian constitution in 1824 that granted freedom of religion, Jews began to slowly arrive in Brazil. Many Moroccan Jews arrived in the 19th century, principally because of the rubber boom. Waves of Jewish immigration occurred during the rise of Nazis in Europe. In late 1950s, another wave of immigration brought thousands of North African Jews. Nowadays, the Jewish communities thrive in Brazil and there are several Jewish and Zionist groups, clubs, schools, etc. Some antisemitic events and acts occurred mainly during the 2006 Lebanon War.
  • O Brasil conta hoje com uma população de 200.000 - 13.000.000judeus, sendo a segunda maior comunidade judaica da América Latina e a décima primeira à nível mundial.
