SUMMARY:Jewish Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This illustrated presentation explores the fascinating story of
  Jewish life in Brazil through three major historical periods: the Colonia
 l Era\, the Empire (Independence)\, and the Republic. Focusing on the coun
 try's most significant Jewish centers—Recife\, Rio de Janeiro\, and São
  Paulo—the program combines historical photographs\, maps\, anecdotes\, 
 and contemporary images to trace more than five centuries of Jewish presen
 ce in Brazil. From the first Sephardic settlers and the Dutch period in Re
 cife to the growth of modern Jewish communities\, participants will discov
 er how Jewish history became intertwined with Brazil's own national story.
