Les Juifs de Caracas (Venezuela)

Jewish presence in Venezuela dates back to the settlement of Sefaradim from Curaçao to Coro, but it was Caracas that became in the twentieth century the main center of a community that was both Sefardi and Ashkenazi, prosperous and well-organized. Active in commerce, industry and the professions, the community equipped itself with synagogues, schools, clubs and social and Zionist institutions, forming one of the most structured communities in South America. The political and economic instability of the country in the early twenty-first century led to the departure of a large part of its members to the United States, Israel, Panama and other countries, sharply reducing its numbers.
