Abstract

The process of creating a Jewish community in Iquitos (Peru), also known as Amazonian Jews refers to mostly descendents of 19th century Moroccan Jews who came to the Amazon jungle during the rubber boom of the 1880s. In the mosaic of heterogenic societies of Sephardic Jews in Latin America the community from Iquitos presents one of those examples of minority within minority and middleman minority who has attempted to build its identity through the revitalization of its connections with Jews from Lima, and after the 1948 – with the State of Israel. The case of “Jewish Mestizos” – “diaspora in Jewish diaspora” with its complicated social, political and cultural background situated in ideological discussion about the role and the place of the state in relations with Jewish people - should be recognized as one of those forms of expression of contemporary ethnic groups that in the process of building its identity refers to the status of returning diaspora. This interesting and still unexplored scientific field requires to establish the latest tendencies in different levels of religion practices and patterns of collective life in connection with observed choices, attitudes and exposed values.
