Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, is the seat of one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Americas. Sephardic Jews from Brazil and the United Provinces settled there as early as the 1630s–1650s, founding the agricultural colony of Jodensavanne on the Suriname River. The Neve Shalom synagogue (1736), in Paramaribo, is one of the oldest still in use on the American continent, and the city offers the rare example of a synagogue and a mosque standing side by side.

This Great Book does not yet have published chapters. The chapters — each bearing its register, its epistemic status and its sources — will be added as editorial enrichment and assisted generation progress.
The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Paramaribo give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
