The History of the Jewish Community in Argentina

The history of the Jewish community in Argentina, as recounted in the book Five Centuries of History: A Chronicle of Jewish Life in Argentina by engineer Alberto Klein, begins in the 1860s with the promulgation of laws that facilitated immigration and the founding of the Israelite Congregation of Buenos Aires. Over the following decades, the Jewish community experienced significant growth, strengthening its religious and organizational structure, facing integration challenges, and contributing to the cultural and social development of the country. The creation of community and educational institutions, along with the arrival of Jewish immigrants from various regions, consolidated the Jewish presence in Argentina, making it an integral part of the nation.
