Saint-Thomas, a Danish free port in the Caribbean, was home to one of the most active Sephardic communities in the Caribbean during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, at the heart of transatlantic commercial networks. Jewish merchants prospered there in trade and participated in the life of the city of Charlotte Amalie. The synagogue of Charlotte Amalie, still in use, is among the oldest in the Americas and bears witness to this presence. Saint-Thomas also gave birth or refuge to figures of Caribbean Judaism. The community declined as the island's commercial importance waned, while leaving a legacy that remains visible.
