Amazonian Jews (Hebrew: יהודי אמזונאס, “Yehudei Amazonas”; Spanish: judíos amazónicos; Portuguese: judeus amazônicos) is the name for the mixed-race people of Jewish Moroccan and indigenous descent who live in the Amazon basin cities and river villages of Brazil and Peru, including Belém, Santarém, Alenquer, Óbidos, and Manaus, Brazil; and Iquitos in Peru. They married indigenous women and their descendants are of mixed race (mestizo). In the 21st century, Belém has about 1000 Jewish families and Manaus about 140 such families, most descended from these 19th-century Moroccans.

The fantastic Amazon Opera house, you will be able to visit.
O Comitê Israelita do Amazonas foi fundado em 15/06/1929 quando então já funcionava a primeira Sinagoga local em 1925, a Beit Yaacov e a seguir foi fundada em 1937, a Sinagoga Rabi Meyr, que foram fundidas em um só grande e novo Templo em janeiro de 1962, tornando-se desde então o orgulho dos judeus amazonenses e local principal das reuniões religiosas com funcionamento completo aos Sábados, todas as demais festividades religiosas e Shachrit semanal às quintas-feiras. É motivo de admiração para os que visitam nossa cidade, encontrar, no coração da floresta, descendentes de uma rica história que só a perseverança e o amor a Deus e à Amazônia puderam manter vivas.

The tour of the synagogue was disappointing. There was no one who could explain the history of the synagogue or the Jewish community. On the other hand the meeting with Chabad was wonderful and we were able to get insight into the Jewish community.

The guide knew nothing about Jewish history in Manaus. He said the rabbi sometimes accompanies him but the rabbi was "busy". Logistically we did get to the places advertised but we had to remind the guide what was included in our tour and to ask him to take us there. So I would say the tour was adequate and the guide was poor.

We were warmly welcomed by the Rabbi at Manaus Chabad who gave us the history of Jews in the Amazon. Prayers were said before we visited Jewish grave sights at a local cemetery. A beautiful way to connect!
