Travel Guide to the Jewish Caribbean and Latin America

While the European roots of American Jewish history are often explored, less discussed are the still-vital historic communities in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, and other Caribbean and Latin American countries. This is a tremendous work encompassing history, culture, and modern travel to such important sites as the oldest surviving synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, Mikve Israel in Curaçao; the largest Jewish community in the Caribbean, in Puerto Rico; and the three synagogues in Havana, Cuba. A Travel Guide to the Jewish Caribbean and Latin America also includes all of the essential travel basics.Frank, Ben G. is the author of 'Travel Guide to the Jewish Caribbean and Latin America', published 2004 under ISBN 9781589800786 and ISBN 1589800788.
