A Review On: A Brief History of the Jewish Settlement in Barbados

This informative pamphlet/book has twelve pages, four of which are of black and white photos, and it was printed in 1986.
It reveals a little about the Jewish settlers who fled to Barbados from Brazil, South America after Portugal reclaimed that colony.

It tells of the ups and downs of the Jewish people who dwelled in Barbados in a simple and to-the-point manner.

As for the photos, although it would have been pleasing to see much more of the Synagogue, the present ones are beneficial to the history that is covered here.

Today, the Synagogue is a tourist attraction in Barbados and reading a bit about its history and especially when it was on the verge of repairs, is worthwhile.

You can check out the pamphlet/book at Amazon.com by clicking the link below.

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
