| | The primary religion throughout Latin America is Roman Catholicism, but one can also find practitioners belonging to Protestant, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Mormon, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, Bahá'í, indigenous, and various Afro-Latin American traditions, such as Santería, and Macumba. | | | They maintain economic ties with neighbouring countries, and are grouped by the United Nations in predominantly Latin American regions (South and Central America). | | | Latin America was traditionally defined as the regions of the Americas where Spanish, the language of Spain, and Portuguese, the language of Portugal, were spoken. |

| | Latin America has been a refuge for Jews fleeing persecution from 1492, when Sepharad Jews were expelled from Spain, until well into the twentieth century, when European Jews sought sanctuary there from the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust. | | | As a whole, these challenging essays ask what Jewish identity is in Latin America and how it changes throughout history. | | | While commonalities of religion and culture link these communities across time and national boundaries, the Jewish experience in Latin America is irreducible to a single perspective. |

| | Most of the time, when we talk about Jews, we don't think of Latin America, but there are many Jews who found a safe haven in those countries to develop new roots. | | | It is an opportunity to present how Jewish traditions melded with local customs of Latin America to create the identity of the new Latin American Jew. | | | I want people to learn about the history of how Jews arrived to Latin America and how they established themselves there. |
