Region: Brésil (Amazonas)
Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Manaus, the metropolis of the state of Amazonas (Brazil), saw the arrival of Moroccan Sephardic Jews as early as the mid-19th century, drawn by the boom in the rubber industry. These immigrants, often from the cities of northern Morocco (Tétouan, Tanger), founded the city's first communal institutions. After the decline of the rubber boom (around 1912), the community diversified with the arrival of Ashkenazim fleeing European persecutions.
