Highlights
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.

Itinerary
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.

About Manaus
Manaus is the Amazon's great river port, a rubber-boom city with an opera house, where the dark Rio Negro meets the pale Solimões.
Manaus rose on the rubber trade of the late nineteenth century, and the wealth of that era shows in the Teatro Amazonas, an opera house topped with a dome tiled in the colours of the Brazilian flag. The municipal market beside the port, with ironwork shipped from Europe, sells fish, fruit, herbs and handicrafts, and old floating docks line the waterfront.
Top-ranked sights in Manaus: Meeting of Waters (Encontro das Aguas), Amazon Theatre (Teatro Amazonas), Port of Manaus (Porto Flutuante).
