Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue

The Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue is the current synagogue of the Jewish Community of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Founded in 1962, this Traditional Judaism congregation is one of the largest and most influential synagogues of Amazonian Jews in the Northern Brazil. The Jewish Labour Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror is established in Manaus and it is part of the Community.^[1] The construction was financed by the local entrepreneurs Isaac Benayon Sabbá, Samuel Benchimol, José Benzecry and Moysés Benarrós Israel. The synagogue is locally referred to as 'esnoga,' derived from the Ladino term for synagogue which is derived from the Hebrew words for fire (אש) and brightness (נוגה).
