Resumo: | This article proposes to reconstruct the profile of the descendant communities of Jews living in the Amazon since the first decades of the 19th century, prioritizing the Moroccans who chose to live in Belém do Pará and Manaus. Going back in time, we try to reconstitute their daily life and Jewish practices in the host communities. We recall that, in the first decades of the 19th century, groups of these Jewish immigrants went to live far from urban centers in isolated islets, that is, in small lands surrounded by streams. On the riverbanks they lived on stilts (houses under stakes) and slept in hammocks, adapting to local customs. They celebrated the most traditional religious festivals: Pesach (Passover), Yom Kippur (Great Fast) and Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year). Initially, still without a rabbi and without Torah, the head of the house exercised the functions of hazam (liturgical singer) recreating the traditions inherited from his ancestors. A great adventure for those who did not speak Portuguese and were not used to the bad weather of a tropical country. In search of visions of this “green world”, we sought to reconstruct the traces that attest to the presence of Moroccan Jews in the Amazon, valuing their commercial houses, synagogues, graves, Jewish rites, cuisine and popular expressions. |

Recuando no tempo procuramos reconstituir seu quotidiano e as práticas judaicas junto as comunidades de acolhimento. Lembramos que, nas primeiras décadas do século XIX, grupos desses imigrantes judeus foram residir longe dos centros urbanos em ilhotas isoladas, ou seja, em pequenas terras cercadas por igarapés. À margem dos rios moravam em palafitas (casa sob estacas) e dormiam em redes, adaptando-se aos costumes locais. Comemoravam as festas religiosas mais tradicionais: Pessach (Páscoa), o Yom Kipur (Grande Jejum) e Rosh Hashaná (Ano Novo judaico). Inicialmente, ainda sem rabino e sem Torá, o chefe da casa exercia as funções de hazam (cantor litúrgico) recriando as tradições herdadas de seus antepassados. Uma grande aventura para aqueles que não falavam o português e nem estavam acostumados às intempéries de um país tropical. Em busca das visões desse “mundo verde” procuramos reconstituir os vestígios que atestam a presença de judeus marroquinos na Amazônia, valorizando suas casas comerciais, sinagogas, sepulturas, ritos judaicos, culinária e expressões populares.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2021-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/3593010.35699/1982-3053.2021.35930Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 15 n. 29 (2021): Literatura Judaica da Amazônia; 60-871982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/35930/29356Copyright (c) 2021 Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCarneiro, Maria Luiza Tucci2024-03-02T11:57:17Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/35930Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2024-03-02T11:57:17Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
