The Moroccan Jewish Diaspora in the Atlantic: Gibraltar, Azores, Southern Portugal, Brazil, and Cabo Verde

Hosted By: Qesher

Qesher presents a talk offering an overview of Moroccan Jewish history and the push and pull factors that led many Jews to migrate to Portuguese-speaking regions. The session examines why some communities sustained Jewish traditions, such as in Gibraltar and the Amazon region of Brazil, while others did not, including southern Portugal, the Azores, and Cabo Verde. It also considers the role of commerce, trade, and economic opportunity in shaping these migrations.

Qesher

There are Jewish communities all around the globe with their own unique history, culture, places, and most of all, people and stories. All of them different, but sharing so much. The aim of Qesher is to connect these different Jewish traditions, not just to know of each other, but to learn about each other. We believe that there is great value in creating a deeper understanding within the Jewish world and exploring Jewish experiences and identities in all their diversity.
