An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The history of the Jews in Curaçao can be traced back to the mid-17th century, when the first Jewish immigrants began to arrive. The first Jews in Curaçao were Sephardi Jewish immigrants from the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. These immigrants founded Congregation Mikvé Israel-Emanuel, the oldest continuously used synagogue in the Americas. The first Jew to settle in Curaçao was a Dutch-Jewish interpreter named Samuel Cohen, who arrived on board a Dutch fleet in 1634. By the mid-1700s, the community was the most prosperous in the Americas and many of the Jewish communities in Latin America, primarily in Colombia and Venezuela, resulted from the influx of Curaçaoan Jews.

  • The history of the Jews in Curaçao can be traced back to the mid-17th century, when the first Jewish immigrants began to arrive. The first Jews in Curaçao were Sephardi Jewish immigrants from the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain. These immigrants founded Congregation Mikvé Israel-Emanuel, the oldest continuously used synagogue in the Americas. The first Jew to settle in Curaçao was a Dutch-Jewish interpreter named Samuel Cohen, who arrived on board a Dutch fleet in 1634. By the mid-1700s, the community was the most prosperous in the Americas and many of the Jewish communities in Latin America, primarily in Colombia and Venezuela, resulted from the influx of Curaçaoan Jews. In the 20th century Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe immigrated to Curaçao, establishing their own traditions and a school. As of 2013, the Jewish population is around 350. (en)
  • De geschiedenis van de Joden in Curaçao begint halverwege de 17e eeuw. In 1634 was Samuel Cohen - een tolk aan boord van een Nederlands schip - de eerste joodse immigrant. De vroegste Joden op Curaçao kwamen aan vanuit Holland, maar waren afkomstig uit Portugal en Spanje. Deze Sefardische Joden vormden weldra de meest welvarende joodse gemeenschap van het Amerikaanse continent en zouden later bijdragen aan de opbouw van joodse gemeenschappen in Colombia en Venezuela. In de 20e eeuw kwamen Asjkenazische Joden uit Oost-Europa naar Curaçao. In 2013 telde Curaçao ongeveer 350 joodse inwoners. De Mikvé Israël-Emanuelsynagoge uit 1732 is de oudste nog in gebruik zijnde synagoge van het westelijk halfrond. (nl)
