[@afrocentricnation1871]

There is so much history in Barbados 🇧🇧 so much more to explore. Thank you both for showing this amazing part of Barbados 🇧🇧 history which so many of us didn’t know. 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥 Rise !

[@arlenebostic-clarke1349]

Thanks for the knowledge shared and thank you for restoring and recreating an important part of our history. I am touched by your passion as you shared a piece of our beautiful country Barbados. Thank you both very much

[@MauriceLennards]

They made our story his-tory

[@icollymore8019]

Very interesting and educational. Born in Barbados,lived there and moved abroad 50 years ago .I never knew this history. WOW.

[@janeharte-lovelace5709]

Interestingly I was commissioned by Mr Altman to faux marble the columns many years ago during the restoration and am very happy to see my work is standing the test of time.

[@eileenwatt8283]

Thank you. I'm a Jamaican Jew but all Jews are grateful to those who help us restore our history.

[@placesweborn646]

This was a great insight. Thank you both for taking the time to share this history with the public. Blessings 🙏🏾

As a Barbadian I didn't know that this was there. I will definitely visit when I come home.

[@nathbranley7884]

This is a great history. I love you all barbados brothers and sisters. From your African brother🇳🇬🇩🇪

[@MrRogerdePeiza]

Thank you for this journey. I must visit this place before I die. It does appear that my ancestor, whose surname I carry, and which Sir Paul called, is buried right there in this cemetery.

This was excellent, I was aware of the synagogue but didnt know it was this extensive

[@asa1973100]

My people are truly wonderful I am so blessed to have been born at you with such rich cultural history thank you for sharing this truly delightful video

[@sharfuds]

I never knew this amazing piece of history was based in Barbados. I was definitely unfortunate not to have known about this treasure during my several visits to Barbados in my career. Tourism sometimes isolates visitors from important things and confines them to sea, sand, sun and sponsored short trips to few selected sites.

[@judithisrael2600]

The truth he can't even speak the truth the Hebrews were black people he have nothing to do with that history you see he is talking about slavery that's us as usual they stole our identity my brother learn your history

[@TheBaltoDave]

I guess it’s a technicality of which is older (the synagogue in Curaçao or this one). I have visited the one in Curaçao which also claims to be the oldest (I guess since it’s been in continuous use since the 1600s. In any event, I took exception to a few things the tour guide says: 1. He never mentions if the original members were Sephardic or Ashkenazi (he, however, mentions Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Judaism. The synagogue in Curacao is (and always has been) a Sephardic synagogue (founded by refugees from the Spanish Inquisition). In fact, one of the early member families invented the famous Curacao Liqueur. 2. When showing the Hanukkiah (Hanukkah Menorah), he says "the festival of lights which Christmas is a part of" and "Hanukkah is the equivalent of Christmas...same thing". There is absolutely no relationship between the two holidays (just they usually fall in the same month). 3. When showing a Torah scroll, he mentions that the Jewish Bible is the "Old Testament". No Jew would ever say that.

[@robertfriedman2109]

He says original families were Spanish Portugeuse dating back to the 1650s kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWjJdWawrJinodU

[@eileenwatt8283]

He's trying to make it relatable to the guy who is not Jewish by contrasting it to what's familiar to him. Of course if he was giving this tour to a Jewish person he wouldn't say "old testament " and equate Hannukah to Christmas. Have you visited the one in Jamaica?

[@TheBaltoDave]

@@eileenwatt8283 No, I have not been there.

[@darnleyjr8525]

These timelines show me that they were also involved in the slave trade.

[@anthonypaul1633]

You are right. The Jewish church was part of the slave trade. I was born in Barbados.

[@sharishapiro3935]

Very true. Interestingly, there is a whole history on Barbados of Jewish enslaved people and freed people who were Jews because of their former owners.

Congratulations to the thirty (30) electoral candidates of The Barbados Labour Party (BLP). Well done to the people of The Republic of Barbados for overwhelmingly and confidently electing the candidates of the BLP. Electoral candidates of the BLP, please thank God for this powerful recurring mandate given to you by the people of The Republic of Barbados and kindly ask God for His continued providential guidance as you work to improve lives and livelihoods of all Bajans. Once again, congratulations to the elected candidates of the BLP.

[@jox4714]

To the creator. I pray you realize and understand who we are and that there no such thing as a "Bardadian" or "Bajan" or "Jamaicans" or "Grenadian" or "Vincy" or "cuban" or "Puerto Rican" etc.. WE ARE ISRAELITES!!!!!!!! READ THE BIBLE WITH THIS UNDERSTANDING AND IT WILL BECOME CLEAR AND TELL THE PEOPLE. Some will here but the beainwashing is serious. These nations know very well the mental destruction theuve done to our people. However, God doesbt sleep and has beeb watching there worldwide attrocities and evils. Its all in the good book and the ones removed.

[@dovygoodguy1296]

Unfortunately he makes a number of mistakes in his description of Judaism because of his lack of knowledge. The Jewish link to Barbados and the Caribbean is precious nonetheless.

Nidhe Israel, perseucted by Catholics in Brazil and fled to Bsrbados- thus the Dutch and Jewish architecture in the older buildings in the city and waterfront along the Careenage and Wharf, not unlike Curaçao... Windmills obviously... Jewelers with Brazilian names like Y De Lima and Corrieas...even Captain Swann with and without 2 ns, who drew some of the city streets and has Swan street in his name...and so on and so forth... To the modern cloth merchants like Joshua Simon of Simon's...and those are but a few... Dr RPB- get Sir Paul to give you a tour of Arlington house next and see how a breath of life can be given to Speightstown- including when it was a whaling town and the story of Moby Dick is connected to "Little Bristol"🤓

😮how come Sir Paul Altmann didn't put on his kippah or any of the basket of kippot at the synagogue door🤔 Of a theological concern...Talmud, "Quoran"(pardon the spelling) or Bible- this 10 commandments thing-...In Exodus 20, the "thou shalts" are found in the Bible, yet when later the account of what was written on the second set of stone tablets( Moses broke the first pair), doesn't have what God spake to Moses...

You couldn't survive in the hot sun for 400yrs in slavery.. it goes on and on They've gotten away with this massive lie for far too long and now people are reading the books that explain everything but they still deny the same that is supposed to talk about them... make it make sense. REV 2 VS 9, 3 VS 9.. "I know the blasphemy of them which say they are jews and are NOT but are the Synagogue of Satan." Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled"..
