Brussels first attracted merchants of Iberian origin in the early modern period, then, especially from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Ashkenazi immigrants from eastern Europe fleeing poverty and persecution. The community, active in commerce, crafts, and trades, established synagogues and institutions, and Belgium recognized the Israelite faith among the officially organized religions.
