Charlotte Amalie, the free port of the island of Saint Thomas (Danish West Indies, now the United States Virgin Islands), was from the seventeenth century onward one of the most cosmopolitan commercial centers of the Caribbean. A prosperous Sephardic community established itself there, engaged in the great Atlantic trade. The synagogue Beracha Veshalom Vegmiluth Hasidim, whose current building dates from 1833, is one of the oldest synagogues in the United States still in service and preserves the tradition of the sand floor.
