The Mikvé Israel-Emanuel synagogue in Curaçao was consecrated in 1732. It is the oldest synagogue in continuous use in the Americas. The synagogue connects you to Spanish and Portuguese Jewish roots that can be traced back to the Iberian peninsula of the 1500s. Worshippers come together for regular weekly Shabbat services Friday evenings at 6:30 and Saturday mornings at 10:00 as well as on all Jewish holidays.
