While Jamaica’s history is often defined by sugar, slavery, and rebellion, there exists a quieter, older thread woven into the island’s foundation. This episode explores the Sephardic Jewish community that arrived in Spanish Town shortly after the English conquest in 1655. We follow the journey of figures like Abraham de Lindo and the unique legal status granted to Jews under English rule, which allowed them to practice openly in a colony where Catholicism was initially restricted. You will hear about the Bevis Marks Synagogue’s origins, the complex social dynamics between Jewish merchants and the planter class, and how this small but influential group navigated the turbulent waters of piracy, privateering, and colonial law. From the construction of early synagogues to the eventual integration and decline of these communities by the 19th century, we uncover a layer of Caribbean history that has been largely overlooked, revealing how faith, commerce, and survival intersected in the heart of the British West Indies. #SephardicJews #JamaicanHistory #SpanishTown #AbrahamdeLindo #BevisMarksSynagogue #CaribbeanJewish #ColonialLaw #EnglishConquest #1655Invasion #SynagogueHistory #WestIndies #Judaism #PlantationEra #Mercantilism #CatholicRestrictions #ReligiousTolerance #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
