Virtual Tour of Jewish Barbados
Hosted By: Baltimore Zionist District
Join the BZD and writer and historian Neal Rechtman for a fascinating tour visiting the restored Nidhe Israel synagogue (1654) in Barbados, its adjacent cemeteries, and the recently discovered Mikvah. Learn how a group of Sephardic Jews, fleeing the Portuguese Inquisition in Brazil, made their way to Barbados and secured the protection of Oliver Cromwell, the Protestant leader of England. Then, jump back in time to 1627 and learn about the Sephardi community of Barbados (1654-1927) and the subsequent Ashkenazi community (1934-present).
