Caribbean Jewish Tourism
This Feb. 28, 2015 photo shows white sand spilling out from the closed wooden doors of Jamaica's last synagogue, Sha’are Shalom in Kingston. Jews came to Jamaica with Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the 1500s. They were “conversos,” who at least pretended to convert to Catholicism to save their lives during the Spanish Inquisition. Some scholars say the sand on the floor of Sha’are Shalom in Kingston, as well as the other Caribbean temples, signifies the attempt by Spanish Jews to muffle the sound of worship to avoid detection.
