Book Description
Now in relatively free Amsterdam, Aboab's family had suffered for three generations from the Inquisition. In 1641, the Jews of Amsterdam decided to send Aboab to the new Dutch colony in Brazil to lead the first synagogue in the New World. As leader of his people, Isaac Aboab had to be wary of political issues as well as to serve as the rabbi. 13 years later, the Dutch were defeated in Brazil and Aboab returned to Amsterdam, but 23 of the Jewish community in Brazil went, instead, to New Amsterdam and founded a community there.
