Humor in the world's most prestigious magazines: a subtle combination While the most prestigious magazines are often associated with serious, deep and high-quality content, humor can find its place in subtle and elegant ways. Incorporating humorous elements can humanize the publication, make it closer to the reader and, in some cases, even reinforce the messages you want to convey. How does humour manifest itself in these magazines? Illustrations and cartoons: Many magazines use illustrations and cartoons with a touch of humour to accompany articles or specific sections. These images can be caricatures of famous people, satirical representations of current situations or simply funny graphic designs. Clever headlines: Headlines are the first impression that the reader has of an article. A well-crafted headline, with a play on words or a cultural reference, can catch the attention and generate a smile. Satirical opinion columns: Some columnists use humour to analyse current events and offer a different perspective on events. Interviews with a touch of humour: Interviews can be an opportunity to show the more human side of the interviewees and generate funny moments. Self-deprecating humour: Magazines themselves can laugh at themselves or at the clichés of the publishing world, which generates a feeling of closeness with the reader. Why use humour in prestigious magazines? Humanization: Humor helps humanize the publication and the authors, showing that behind serious articles there are people with a sense of humor. Emotional Connection: Humor creates an emotional bond with the reader, making them feel more connected to the magazine. Memorability: A funny article or illustration is easier to remember than a strictly informative one. Relativization: Humor can help relativize complex topics and see things from a different perspective. Examples of magazines that use humor: The New Yorker: Famous for its cartoons and satirical articles. The Onion: Although it is a satirical publication, its fake news often reflects reality in an exaggerated and humorous way. Mad Magazine: An American comic magazine that satirizes popular culture. Trends to Consider: Victorianism: Ruffles, lace, corsets, and a romantic and feminine aesthetic. Rococo: Floral details, bows, pastel colors, and a delicate and feminine aesthetic. Regency: High silhouettes, high-waisted dresses, and a romantic, elegant aesthetic. Renaissance: Embroidered details, rich fabrics, and an opulent, dramatic aesthetic. Baroque: Ornate details, vibrant colors, and a lush, theatrical aesthetic. Art Nouveau: Curved lines, floral motifs, and a natural, elegant aesthetic. Art Deco: Geometric lines, rich materials like velvet and satin, and vibrant colors. Bauhaus: Straight lines, geometric shapes, and a functional, minimalist aesthetic. Pop Art: Vibrant colors, graphic prints, and a fun, pop aesthetic. Punk: Leather, studs, chains, and a rebellious, anti-establishment aesthetic. Grunge: Plaid shirts, combat boots, distressed jeans, and a more relaxed, grunge aesthetic. Normcore: Minimalist, casual style, with basic, comfortable garments.

For example: Many fashion brands collaborate with emerging artists to create limited collections, which generates new trends and generates greater positioning in this industry.

The increase in diversity is one of them, although the magazine Ruta Pantera has and seeks to reach people with a more classic and timeless style, it is important to know how to include these changes in a unique and creative way. How to generate classic texts with modern ideas. In this way, the reader is shown that memory is preserved but doors are opened to understand and accept the new. It must be understood that the magazine, in trying to circulate at a Latin American level, must adapt and collect a little of each culture, because readers and buyers may be from other continents or from foreign countries, but it is important that they feel part of the culture that is talked about and shown in the magazine, and that a little of the essence of that region and the Latin American identity itself is reflected, without losing the classic identity of Ruta Pantera. The performance and acceptance of the magazine and the impact it has on the public can be measured mainly by launching a prototype or a pilot test. This, with the correct dissemination, will tell us much more than we can think. To do this, a good promotion must be carried out beforehand in order to have a wide reach and thus obtain sales and return figures. The market share must be known, as well as the volume moved by other magazines similar to ours. Monitoring and surveys on networks, offering an incentive for responding and valuing the magazine. Analyzing the traffic that is on the website. 18.

Notes
The presence of Jews in Latin America and the Caribbean began with the conquest of the maritime powers of Spain and Portugal in the 15th century, and mainly with the waves of migration to Latin America in the 20th century. The history of Jews in America dates back to Christopher Columbus and his first transatlantic voyage, which took place on August 3, 1492, when he left Spain and finally arrived in the New World. The date of his departure corresponded with the day that the Catholic Monarchs Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand I of Aragon ordered that the Jews of Spain convert to Catholicism, or leave the country, or be condemned to death for disobedience to the monarchy. There were at least 6 Jews (or cryptic Jews, Marranos, or sincerely converted to Catholicism) who traveled with Columbus on his first voyage: Rodrigo de Triana; Maestre Bernal, who worked as a doctor for the expedition; Alonso Calle, treasurer on this first voyage of Columbus to the New World; and Luis de Torres, the interpreter who spoke Hebrew and Arabic, which were believed to be useful languages ??in the East, his original destination. Some participated in the conquest of the "New World," and Bernal Díaz del Castillo describes several executions of soldiers in the forces led by Hernán Cortés during the conquest of Mexico because of the fact that they were Jews. In the following years, Jews or crypto-Jews settled in New Spain and in the Dutch colonies of Brazil and the Caribbean, where they believed themselves beyond the reach of the Inquisition. Nevertheless, several Jewish communities in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America prospered, especially in the regions under Dutch rule and English language. By the end of the 16th century, Jewish communities had been organized in Brazil, Surinam, Curaçao, Jamaica, and Barbados. Additionally, there were less organized communities in the Spanish and Portuguese territories where the Inquisition then existed, such as Cuba and Mexico. These Jews generally concealed their religious identity from the authorities. By the mid-17th century, the largest Jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere were located in Surinam and Brazil. Today, the total Jewish communities in Latin America number fewer than 300,000 individuals, with Argentina and Brazil being the countries with the largest communities. There are several organizations operating among the communities in the region, and the Jewish Culture Fund for Latin America is among the most visible of all. Argentina Jews who fled the Inquisition settled in Argentina, but assimilated into “non-Jewish” Argentine society. Portuguese merchants and smugglers in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata were considered by many to be crypto-Jews, but no such communities emerged after the independence of the Argentine Republic. After 1810 (and until the mid-19th century), Jews, especially from France, began to settle in Argentina. By the end of the century, as in the United States, many arrived from Eastern Europe (mainly Russia, Ukraine, and Poland) fleeing Tsarist persecution. Upon arrival they were called “Russians” in reference to their region of origin. Argentina is home to approximately 230,000 Jews, of whom the vast majority reside in the cities of Buenos Aires, Rosario, Córdoba, Mendoza, La Plata, and San Miguel de Tucumán; and is considered the third largest Jewish community in the Americas after those of the United States and Canada, and the seventh largest in the world. Legally, the Argentine Jewish community receives seven holidays per year, the first two days being Rosh Hashanah, one day for Yom Kippur, and the first and last two days being Passover according to law 26.089. Bolivia The Jewish presence in Bolivia dates back to the Spanish conquest at the beginning of the viceregal period. During the 16th century, one of the main destinations for Sephardic Jewish converts in America was the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in present-day Bolivia. In 1557, several Jewish converts from Paraguay and Buenos Aires left with the conquistador Ñuflo de Chávez and were among the pioneers who founded Santa Cruz de la Sierra. They entered by sea; with the mining boom of the 16th century, some Marranos settled in Potosí, but soon achieved economic success in mining and trade and were persecuted by the recently created Inquisition and local authorities in Potosí and neighboring La Paz, who accused them of being Judaizers. For this reason, most of these families of converted Jewish origin also moved to Santa Cruz, since this town was the most remote and isolated settlement, and because the Inquisition did not harass the converts of Santa Cruz, these Sephardim settled in the city of Santa Cruz and its surrounding towns of Vallegrande, Postrervalle, Portachuelo, Terevinto, Pucará, Cotoca and others that were populated by families from this city (Santa Cruz during the colony and at the beginning of the republican period included the current departments of Beni, Pando and the Chaco regions of Chuquisaca and Tarija up to the Pilcomayo River). Curiously, it is a fact that many of the most traditional Catholic families of Santa Cruz are of Jewish origin. Some features of this Jewish presence are still alive and have influenced the local culture. Until the first decades of the twentieth century, several families in Santa Cruz kept seven-branched candelabras and served dishes prepared in a manner reminiscent of kosher cuisine. Some old families still have the custom of lighting candles on Friday evenings and sitting on the floor to mourn the death of their beloved relatives. After almost five centuries, some members of these families still acknowledge their Jewish origins, but practice Catholicism (in some cases with Jewish syncretisms). From independence in 1825 until the beginning of the 20th century, the flow of Jewish immigrants was limited to a few merchants (both Sephardic and German Jews), who mostly married local women and founded families that became part of Bolivian Catholic society. This was the case in the eastern regions of Santa Cruz, Tarija, Beni and Pando, where most of these merchants arrived either via Argentina or Brazil. In the first half of the 20th century, the flow of Jewish immigrants increased substantially. In 1905, a group of Russian and Argentine Jews emigrated to Bolivia. In 1917, it is estimated that there were only 20 to 25 practicing Jews living in the country. In 1933, when the Nazi regime began in Germany, there were 30 Jewish families. In the late 1930s, when most countries in the Americas had stopped issuing visas to Jewish refugees, Bolivia—under the presidency of General Germán Busch Becerra—opened its doors to thousands of Jews. Busch (whose father was German and her mother Bolivian) was a promoter of Jewish migration, who together with the mining entrepreneur Mauricio Hochschild (a German Jew) supported the development of Jewish agricultural colonies in the tropical areas of Yungas (La Paz), Ichilo (Santa Cruz) and Chapare (Cochabamba). By 1942 there were already approximately 7,000 Jews. However, some 2,200 Jews left Bolivia in the 1940s. Those who remained created communities in La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Oruro, Sucre, Tarija and Potosí. After World War II, a small group of Polish Jews also settled in Bolivia. Since 1939, Jewish communities have become more stable. However, the presidents who followed Busch were less enthusiastic about Jewish migration, and anti-Semitism was evident on several occasions in the cities of La Paz and Cochabamba, where there were regrettable attacks on Jewish businesses and community entities. With the 1952 revolution, a large part of the community left for other countries, such as the United States, Israel and Argentina. In recent decades (1990-2000), the Jewish community in Bolivia has further declined due to emigration to other countries, with Israel and the United States, among others, again being among the most popular countries for emigration. If the trend of emigration continues, it is estimated that the Jewish population of Bolivia will almost completely disappear within a period of 10 to 20 years. Currently, there are approximately 500 Jews living in Bolivia. There are synagogues in the cities of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba and La Paz. The majority of Bolivian Jews live in the cities of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and La Paz. The Jewish community in La Paz is mainly Orthodox, that of Cochabamba is more conservative or Masorti, while that of Santa Cruz de la Sierra is more Reformist in character. Brazil Jews settled early in the history of Brazil, especially when it was under Dutch control. They erected a synagogue in Recife – the primate synagogue of America – in 1636. Most of these Jews had escaped from Spain and Portugal during the reestablishment of the Inquisition, first in Spain, and then in Portugal. They first came to Holland to take advantage of the religious freedom that country allowed them. Jews resettled in Brazil in the 19th century, after its independence, and immigrated more or less steadily until the beginning of the 20th century. There are approximately 95,000 Jews living in Brazil today and they hold very important positions in a range of fields including politics, sports, academia and commerce, and form an important part of Brazilian society. Most Brazilian Jews live in the state of São Paulo (Sao Paulo) but there are also communities in Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Bahia and Pernambuco. Chile The plot summary for this article may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. The first Jews arrived in Chile with the Spanish conquistadors. During the time of the Inquisition, they had to hide their ancestry during their lifetime. Diego García de Cáceres, a faithful friend and executor of the will of the founder of Santiago, Pedro de Valdivia, was one of them. According to the Jewish community in Chile itself, among the most prominent descendants of the Spaniard are General José Miguel Carrera and Diego Portales. During the viceregal era, however, the most prominent person of Jewish origin in Chile was the surgeon Francisco Maldonado de Silva, one of the first directors of the San Juan de Dios Hospital. Accused by his sisters - sincere Christians - of trying to convert them to Judaism, Maldonado openly declared himself Jewish, which earned him a sentence of being burned alive in 1639. Quantitative immigration But it was from 1840 (the Inquisition had already been abolished in Chile after the declaration of Independence) when the 'real' immigration began. The first European Jews, especially French and German, settled in Valparaíso. Among them, Manuel de Lima y Sola stands out, a nomadic Sephardic who became one of the founding members of the pioneering Valparaíso Fire Department in 1851 and the founder of Chilean Freemasonry by creating the first Freemason lodge, the "Unión Fraternal", two years later. From then on, the presence of followers of Judaism spread to Santiago, Valdivia, Puerto Montt, Temuco, La Unión (where two brothers founded the first pharmacy and the German Club) and even Atacama, where they arrived attracted by the mining and trade business. At the end of the 19th century, a new generation of Jews fleeing the anti-Semitic policies of Tsarist Russia settled in Santiago and the south of the country. In 1903, "La Casa Rusa" opened in the capital, one of the first and most famous businesses of these new immigrants. In Araucanía, with the succession of lands gained in the occupation of La Araucanía, 500 Jewish families arrived together with another group of Germans and Swiss-Germans to found and colonize the town of Contulmo in Temuco. These German Jews who arrived during 1885-1890 did not consider themselves Jews in the diaspora, but only Germans, without problems of religion or ethnicity they lived peacefully with the other settlers of Contulmo (Germans and Swiss-Germans). Also in Araucanía another immigration would take place, not colonizing, but spontaneous of Sephardic Jews from Macedonia precisely from the city of Monastir (present-day Bitola). This begins with the arrival of a tailor to the city of Temuco called Alberto Levy and others, such as Francisco Van de Wynwaard, Teodoro Rosenberg, Walter Bauer among many others. He would be the one to bring news to his acquaintances in Monastir about this new city founded a few years earlier, which promised to be a hub of development. At the beginning of the 1900s, the Balkans were in the midst of war, and Monastir was in the middle of the conflicts, which caused immigration to grow: a census carried out in 1907 indicates that there were fourteen Jewish families in Temuco; by 1920 there were three hundred families (counting only the Sephardim of Monastir), who would be the fundamental pillars of the Sephardic community in Chile. Temuco is so important in the Jewish migration from Monastir that it was one of the main emigration destinations along with the United States and Israel in the 20th century. In addition to the Sephardim, there were 900 Jews of Polish, Russian and Ukrainian origin in Temuco. It was also the first Chilean city to have a synagogue and an Israeli club; For this reason, Temuco is cited as one of the main cities in Chile that received Jewish immigrants. From 1933 to 1939, a new group arrived fleeing the persecutions imposed by the Nazi regime in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia. At the end of World War II, another group, now reduced, of survivors of the concentration camps liberated by the Allied troops arrived. The European nobility that managed to flee from the Nazis stood out in helping many of the Jews from the countries of German influence. In this, the royal family Karl Graf von Luxburg stood out throughout Latin America. The immigrants of the 1930s were mostly professionals, who were able to continue working in their field of specialization. Jewish immigration would stop around 1945, although to this day Israelis continue to arrive in the country, especially in the Province of Aisén. The community currently numbers 15,000 people. It includes National Prize winners, businessmen, artists, lawyers, politicians. There are thousands of descendants of Hebrew origin who have stood out in Chile. Here are some of them: Claudio Grossman (lawyer), Marcos Libedinsky, Roberto Zahler, Nicolás Massú Fried, Sebastián Rozental, Miguel Schweitzer (first Jewish minister in Chile), Sergio Melnick, José Weinstein (undersecretary of Education and minister of Culture in the Lagos era), Clarisa Hardy (former minister of Mideplan), Eduardo Bitran, Claudia Bitrán, Karen Poniachik (former minister of Mining and Energy), Mario Kreutzberger (Don Francisco), Patricia Politzer, Ricardo Israel, Mauricio Israel, Jacobo Schaulsohn, Ángel Faivovich, Bastián Bodenhöfer, Jorge Schaulsohn, Lily Pérez, Anita Klesky, Jael Unger, León Schidlowsky (National Prize for Musical Arts), Paula Sharim, Shlomit Baytelman, Leonardo Farkas, Julián Elfenbein, Alex Zisis, Tomás Hirsch (former president of the Humanist Party of Chile), Volodia Teitelboim (writer and former Secretary General of the Chilean Communist Party), etc. Today, the community has two schools in Santiago, one in Viña del Mar, a public polyclinic in Nataniel (the neighborhood where the immigrants lived in the beginning); two nursing homes, two Israeli stadiums (in Santiago and Viña del Mar), the Israeli Fire Department in Ñuñoa and cemeteries. Colombia Jews began to arrive in the current territory of Colombia during the time of the viceroyalty, and there are many references to trials of “Judaizing Portuguese” in the Inquisition Court of Cartagena de Indias. These Jews converted to Christianity assimilated with the local population and the features of their culture disappeared, excluding certain rituals restricted to the family nucleus. In the first half of the 19th century, Jews returned to Colombia from Curaçao and other Dutch territories in the Caribbean, as well as Jews from France and Germany. These Jews settled mainly on the Atlantic coast, where housing was permitted to “members of the Hebrew nation” during the early days of the republic. They were prolific in their businesses and are behind the founding of many well-known companies in the city of Barranquilla. They also managed to establish cemeteries and schools of the Alliance Israelite Universelle, and many assimilated into Colombian Catholic society by marrying into families of nobility. After World War I, Jews arrived from Russia, Austria, Ukraine, the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. They settled in the large cities, mainly in Barranquilla, Bogotá, Cali and Medellín, but there were also families and communities, especially North African and Syrian, in the Valle del Cauca and the city of Popayán. They sought to earn a living and escape the sad memories that the lands where they grew up brought them. According to Azriel Bibliowicz in his novel El rumor del Astracán, the first people to arrive in Colombia had heard a Jew who had visited Bogotá say: “Latin America is the place where prosperity is achieved.” So many of them arrived full of hope and dedicated themselves to commerce. They set up textile stores and imposed innovative practices: they sold their merchandise on credit and offered products from house to house. If the store sold for three pesos, they sold in installments for 10. Customers paid twenty cents a week and had the opportunity to pay off the entire debt at the end of the year. By 1950 there were already organized communities with their own cemetery, club and school. Today there are about 15,000 Jewish families in Colombia, but it is believed that there are more descendants. The majority are concentrated in Bogotá, then in Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, Cartagena de Indias and San Andrés. They are grouped into two communities: the Sephardic, made up of Turkish, Portuguese, Spanish, Egyptian and Syrian immigrants; and the Ashkenazi, from Eastern Europe, the latter of which built the Jewish cemetery and currently runs the Southern Israeli Center. Costa Rica The first Jews to arrive in Costa Rica were the converts, who came in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries and settled in the city of Cartago, forgetting their Jewish roots for fear of the Spanish Inquisition. In the 19th century, Sephardic merchants arrived from Curaçao, Jamaica, Panama and the Caribbean. They lived mainly in the central valley of Costa Rica and soon assimilated into society and abandoned Judaism completely. A third group of Jewish immigrants arrived before World War II and especially in the 1930s. Most of these immigrants came from the Polish town of Zelechów. The term “Polaco” has become a Costa Rican colloquial word for “merchant.” The country's first synagogue, the Orthodox Shaarei Zion, was built in 1933 in the capital, San José. Most of the Jewish community settled initially in Paseo Colón and Barrio México. During the 1940s, there was a nationalist movement in Costa Rica, whose presence led to anti-Semitism, but in general, coexistence between Jews and Catholics remains without major problems. However, there are cases of anti-Semitism, as in any other Latin American country. Recently, a fourth phase of Jewish immigration has begun, mainly of American or Israeli Jews who are retiring or who are doing business in the country. The Costa Rican Jewish community consists of 2,500 to 3,000 individuals, most of whom live in the capital. Cuba Jewish Cubans, Cuban Jews, or Cubans of Jewish descent, have lived in Cuba for centuries. Some Cubans can trace their Jewish ancestry back to the Marranos (converts to Christianity) who arrived as settlers, although few of them practice Judaism today. More than 24,000 Jews lived in Cuba in 1924, and more immigrated to the country in the 1930s. However, during and after the communist revolution of 1959, 94% of Jews emigrated to the United States and other countries. In 2007 approximately 1,500 Jewish Cubans still remained in the country, mostly located in Havana. Since then hundreds have emigrated to Israel. Curaçao Curaçao has the oldest active Jewish congregation in the Americas, dating back to 1651, and the oldest synagogue in the Americas, in continuous use since its completion in 1732 on the site of an earlier synagogue. Curaçao's Jewish community also played a key role in supporting the first Jewish congregations in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries, including in New York City and in Newport, Rhode Island, where the Touro Synagogue was built. El Salvador The Jewish community in El Salvador dates back to the colonial era. Today there is a large mix of Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, there are two synagogues and a Hebrew school. Ecuador In 1580, the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal were united on the Iberian Peninsula, and Philip II is the sole heir to the throne of that kingdom. Many Portuguese "suspicious of their faith" began to enter the Viceroyalty of Peru through the recently founded city, where the surveillance of the Inquisition was weaker. The union of the kingdoms lasted until 1640, when the Lusitanians rebelled against the Spanish monarchy and the Duke of Braganza, under the name of John IV, occupied the throne of the kingdom of Portugal. But these were sixty years during which Hispanic America was under the same crown and, during them, a large number of new Christians passed from the Portuguese dominions to the Spanish dominions. So much so that saying that someone was "Portuguese" was synonymous with "converted Jew." Haiti When Christopher Columbus arrived on Hispaniola, he had an interpreter, Luis de Torres, one of the first Jews to arrive on the island in 1492. Haiti was taken over and colonized by the French in 1633. Many Dutch Jews (many of whom were Marranos) emigrated from Brazil in 1634 and became employees of the French sugar plantations and further developed the trade. In 1683, Jews were expelled from Haiti and all other French colonies due to the Code Noir, which not only limited the activities of free blacks, but prohibited the exercise of any religion other than Roman Catholicism (including a provision that all slaves must be baptized and instructed in the Catholic religion), and in turn applied to all Jews in France's colonies. However, despite the Black Code, a limited number of Jews remained in French commercial companies as senior officials, including foreign citizens (Dutch, Danish or English) or holders of special residence permits (lettres patentes). These Jews were specialized in agricultural plantations. Portuguese Jews from Bordeaux and Bayonne settled mainly in the southern part of Haiti (Jacmel, Jérémie, Léogâne, Les Cayes, Petit-Goâve and Port-au-Prince) and Jews from Curaçao settled in the northern part (Cap-Haïtien and Saint Louis). Honduras The Israeli ambassador to Honduras, Shimon Agour, assured that the inhabitants of Trinidad, in the Department of Santa Barbara, as well as those of other places in western Honduras, are direct descendants of Sephardic Jews who settled in those lands since the 18th century. The subject of Jewish immigration to Honduras has been investigated by Honduran historian Jorge Alberto Amaya Banegas in his book Los judíos en Honduras, from which the following summary can be extracted: it has traditionally been claimed that Jewish immigration to America took place beginning in the 19th century, despite the existence of historical works that show the presence of Jews since colonial times, particularly in Mexico, Central America, and Peru. These Jews were Sephardic Jews from the Mediterranean area, especially Spaniards and Portuguese who were called Iberian or Hispanic Jews. Mexico Due to a strong Catholic presence in Mexico, few Jews, mostly Sephardic exiles, arrived in the years before the end of the 17th century, many of them Portuguese and Spanish. There are several trials for Judaizers in New Spain. Their distribution was throughout the territory of the viceroyalty, especially in rural areas and mining towns, as well as territories far from the viceregal capital. After Mexico's independence, a large number of German Jews settled in Mexico thanks to the invitation of Maximilian I of Mexico. Russian Jews fleeing persecution in Russia also did so. A second group of immigrants, mainly Sephardic, arrived after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, a final influx arrived during the persecutions by the Nazis in Europe during World War II. Today there are approximately 70,000 Jews in Mexico and just over 3,000 Mexican Jews residing abroad, mainly in the United States and Israel. There are also significant numbers of foreign Jews residing in Mexico, mainly expatriates and recent immigration from Argentinean and Venezuelan Jewish communities. There are several sectors of the Jewish community in Mexico, the largest of which are the Ashkenazi community (from Central and Eastern Europe), the Magen David and Mount Sinai communities (descendants of Syrian immigrants) and the Sephardic community (consisting mainly of Turkish, Syrian and Greek immigrants). Nicaragua Due to a strong Catholic presence in Nicaragua, few Jews, mostly Sephardic exiles, arrived in the years before the end of the 17th century. Many of them were Anusim, like others from Central America, which is why Nicaragua's tradition is steeped in Judaism. After the independence of Central America, a large number of French Jews settled in Nicaragua following its annexation to the Mexican empire of Maximilian. A second group of immigrants, mainly Sephardic, arrived after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Finally, a final influx came during the Nazi persecutions in Europe during World War II. Today there are approximately 200 Jews in Nicaragua and slightly more Nicaraguan Jews living abroad, mainly in the United States and Costa Rica. There are two formal communities in Nicaragua. Although the Sephardic Jews came first, they were not organized, as they learned to live under assimilation. Ashkenazi Jews came mainly from Hungary, Germany and Russia, the latter with the cooperation of the Sandinista government in 1980. After 1990, retired American Jews came and settled there taking advantage of the peaceful atmosphere and the low cost of living. The "Israeli Club of Nicaragua" had already been founded in 1965 and was later renamed the "Israeli Congregation of Nicaragua", affiliated with the World Zionist Congress and therefore recognized by Israel. It should be mentioned that of these Jews, the vast majority of those who migrated were men without families, so they married local women and their offspring, according to halacha, could not be Jewish and many had to convert. Since the Israelite Congregation of Nicaragua is of a reformist-conservative tendency, it accepts children from both sides. Currently it only has two founding members (born Jews): the rest are converts and do not meet often. Panama The presence of anusim or crypto-Jews has been recorded since the first migrations of Spaniards and Portuguese in the territory. There is no evidence of the existence of a Jewish community that openly practiced its Mosaic religion due to the legal limitations of the time. However, it is relevant to mention an attempt to establish a synagogue led by the Portuguese Sebastián Rodríguez, who was arrested on charges of being a Judaizer. His accomplices in this affair included Antonio de Ávila, González de Silva, Domingo de Almeyda and a Mercedarian friar who also practiced Judaism. Paraguay This section is an excerpt from History of the Jews in Paraguay.[edit] The history of the Jews in Paraguay begins with the arrival of migratory flows, mainly from Europe, at the end of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first community institutions were established in the city of Asunción. During the 1920s, Jews from Poland, Ukraine and Germany arrived in Paraguay. After World War II, more Jews arrived in the country, as survivors, but many of them chose to move to neighboring Argentina (home to the largest Jewish community in Latin America), and Brazil, or made aliyah (immigrated) to Israel. Today, the Paraguayan Jewish community is made up of approximately 1,000 people, most of them Ashkenazi and living in Asunción. The community has suffered isolated anti-Semitic acts, although these have increased in recent years. Peru The origins of the Jewish presence in Peru date back to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. There are descendants of those colonizers mainly in the northern mountains of Peru, due to cultural and ethnic contact with the southern mountains of Ecuador. However, the presence of the Inquisition forced many to convert or go into exile in less hostile regions of the viceroyalty, so there are no reliable figures of the Jewish presence in Peru until the 19th century, when Jews began to arrive, mainly from Germany and Russia Puerto Rico Puerto Rico is currently the seat of the largest Jewish community in the Caribbean, consisting of around 3,000 Jews, who maintain four synagogues in the capital and one in the west of the island. Of these, there is one reformist, one conservative and two orthodox. In Mayaguez there is a community of orthodox Jews called Toiras Jesed with a Hasidic tendency that has attracted Jews from all over Latin America. Jews were prohibited from settling in Puerto Rico for much of its history. Many European Jews arrived after World War II, but most are descendants of Cuban Jews who left Cuba after the Cuban revolution in 1959. Many Puerto Rican Jews are descendants of Sephardic or Spanish-Jewish immigrants and Anusim from France, Holland, Saint-Barthélemy, and Curaçao. Recently, however, in addition to the branches of Judaism mentioned above, a branch of evangelical Christianity calling itself Messianic Judaism has gained considerable popularity on the island. Dominican Republic Sephardic Jewish merchants arrived in southern Hispaniola during the 16th and 17th centuries, fleeing persecution by the Spanish Inquisition. Over the following centuries, many Jews and their descendants assimilated into the general population, although many Dominican Jews still retain various aspects of the Sephardic culture of their ancestors. In the 18th and 19th centuries, many Sephardim from Curaçao emigrated to the Dominican Republic due to an economic crisis. Sosúa, a small town on the northern coast of the island, was founded by Ashkenazi Jews fleeing Nazi Europe in the 1930s. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, the country's dictator, signed the Evian Conference in 1938, making it one of the few countries that accepted mass immigration of Jews during the 1930s, when their lives were at risk due to the advance of Nazism in Europe. It therefore offered to accept up to 100,000 Jewish refugees, although in practice, and due to the difficult bureaucratic procedures required by the refugees' countries of origin and transit, the number was much lower than that mentioned. Suriname Suriname has the oldest Jewish community in the Americas. During the Inquisition in Portugal and Spain around 1500, many Jews fled to the Netherlands and Dutch colonies to escape social discrimination and inquisitorial persecution, sometimes even torture and burning at the stake. Those who converted to the Catholic faith were called New Christians, conversos, and less frequently "marranos." The stadtholder of the king of Portugal gave those who wanted to leave time to settle, and provided them with 16 ships and safe passage to set off for the Netherlands. The Dutch government gave them the opportunity to settle in Brazil. But most found their home in Recife, and merchants became cocoa farmers. But the Portuguese in Brazil forced many Jews to move to the Dutch colonies in northern America, the Guianas. Jews settled in Suriname in 1639. Uruguay[edit] This section is an excerpt from History of Jews in Uruguay.[edit] The history of Jews in Uruguay dates back to colonial times, however, the most significant influx took place from the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Today, the Uruguayan Jewish community is the fourth largest in South America, and is composed primarily of Ashkenazim. Most Jewish immigration to Uruguay took place in the 1920s and 1930s due to anti-Semitism and the World Wars. The peak of the Jewish population in Uruguay occurred in the 1960s, when the community consisted of approximately 50,000 people. In later years, different phenomena led to a significant number of Uruguayan Jews making aliyah. Sociologist Rafael Porzecanski, author of the book El Uruguay jurado, estimated that there were about 15,000 Jews, of which 30% are secular Jews and another 20% have little contact with their Judaism. Venezuela The history of the Venezuelan Jewish community probably began in the mid-17th century in Caracas, Coro and Maracaibo. According to a national census carried out at the end of the 19th century, 1,247 Jews lived in Venezuela as citizens. Between 1920 and 1937, many prominent European Jews visited Maracaibo to begin doing business with the country's oil boom. Many lived and had families parallel to those they left behind in Europe. There was a great mix of cultures and religions in Maracaibo. By 1943, nearly 2,600 German Jews had entered the country. By 1950, the community had grown to around 11,000 individuals, despite strong immigration restrictions. There are currently more than 3,000 Jews living in Venezuela, more than half of whom reside in Caracas. The Venezuelan Jewish community is evenly divided between Sephardim and Ashkenazim. ACCORDING TO IA 1. Arrival of Jews in Central and South America: Jews began arriving in Latin America in waves from the 15th century onwards. The first significant arrival occurred with conversos (Jews who had converted to Christianity) escaping the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. In the 19th and 20th centuries, more considerable migration occurred, especially from Eastern Europe, following the Russian Revolution (1917) and the rise of Nazism in Germany (1933). Destination Countries: Argentina: In 1880, the Jewish community began to establish itself, and by 1930, around 200,000 Jews lived in the country. Brazil: The arrival of Jews intensified in the late 19th century, with many settling in São Paulo. Mexico: Jewish migration increased following the Mexican Revolution (1910) and the rise of the Nazis in Europe. 2. Comparison of Jewish migration in Latin America and North America: The number of Jews who arrived in Latin America is smaller compared to North America. In the United States, Jewish migration was significant, especially from the late 19th century to the 1920s, with more than two million European Jews emigrating to the U.S. In contrast, in Latin America, it is estimated that around 600,000 Jews settled in the region during the same period. 3. Businesses started by Jews: Jews have played a prominent role in various economic sectors in Latin America. Among their contributions: Commerce: Many Jews engaged in commerce, establishing shops and businesses in urban areas. Textiles: In Argentina, for example, many became involved in the textile industry. Culture and media: Jews also ventured into journalism and publishing, contributing to the cultural life of their countries. Science and technology: Some Jews excelled in research and education, founding schools and universities. 4. Famous Jews in Latin America: Leon Trotsky: Although of Russian origin, Trotsky spent time in Mexico during his exile and is a prominent figure of socialism and revolution. José Shlomo Slovo: A prominent political leader in South Africa, but of Polish Jewish descent, he lived in Argentina. María Elena Walsh: Renowned Argentine singer-songwriter and writer, of Jewish descent, who left an important mark on Argentine culture. 5. Antisemitism in Latin America: Antisemitism has varied in intensity in different Latin American countries. Some examples include: Argentina: During the 1930s, antisemitism intensified, with groups such as the Alianza Libertadora Nacionalista promoting anti-Jewish ideologies. Brazil: Throughout history, antisemitism has been less pronounced, but there have also been episodes of discrimination. Mexico: Despite a significant Jewish presence, antisemitism has been relatively low, though not nonexistent. 6. Incidence of anti-Jewish acts and attitudes compared to the US: The incidence of anti-Semitism in Latin America has been lower compared to the United States, where anti-Semitism has manifested itself in more frequent acts of violence and hate speech. However, in Latin America, anti-Semitism often manifests itself through cultural stereotypes and some discriminatory attitudes, although the historical and social context is different. 7. Jewish influence on culture and politics: The Jewish community has had a notable impact on the culture and politics of several Latin American countries. In Argentina, for example, Jewish figures have occupied prominent roles in the political, cultural and scientific spheres. In Brazil, the Jewish community has influenced artistic life and the development of popular music. 8. Contemporary challenges: Despite their contributions, Jewish communities in Latin America face contemporary challenges, including a resurgence of anti-Semitism in some places and the need to preserve their cultural and religious identity in an increasingly diverse context. 9. The future of the Jewish community in Latin America: The Jewish community continues to adapt and respond to socio-political changes in Latin America. Interconnection with other communities and intercultural dialogue are presented as ways to strengthen social cohesion and the fight against anti-Semitism.
