The first synagogue was
established in 1924 by
Sephardi Jews who had
emigrated from Morocco at
the beginning of the 19th
Century.

The modern Jewish com-
munity of Brazil, consisting
primarily of Eastern Euro-
pean Jews, had its formal
beginning in 1903. At that
time the first attempts were
made to organize agricul-
tural settlement of Jews in
the southern part of the
country by the Jewish Col-
onization Association.

In spite of increasingly
restrictive immigration
laws after 1930, Jewish
immigration, mainly from
Nazi-dominated Europe,
continued. In ther period
1956-1957, 2,500 Jews from
Egypt and about 1,000 from
North Africa (mainly from
Morocco) were admitted,
and from time to time other
groups, including close to
6,000 Hungarians, were
able to enter the country.

The Jewish population of
Brazil today numbers about
150,000. It includes a few
thousand immigrants from
Israel.
