About this talk
São Paulo is home to the largest Jewish community in Brazil and one of the most vibrant in Latin America. The Jewish presence in the city dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when waves of immigrants from Europe and the Middle East arrived, shaping São Paulo's cultural, economic, and social landscape.
In this talk, we will explore the fascinating history of São Paulo's Jewish community, from its early days to the present.
Discover the city's most significant Jewish landmarks, synagogues, institutions, and neighborhoods—each of which has played a crucial role in shaping Jewish life in Brazil.
Join us for an insightful journey through São Paulo's Jewish past and present!
