This week, the Panama Travels blog posted about the Jewish Community and its growth in Panama City, Panama. Panama, a naturally diverse country due to the initial construction of the Panama Canal, and now – years later – from the expansion efforts of the Canal – has been a hot bed for foreigners since its inception.
The first Jews to Panama came from Spain and Portugal and practiced secretly. Much of this was due to the fact that many came after Nazi invasion in Europe.
Apparently there are over 10,000 Jews now living in Panama City and the outlying areas like Colon. As a result, Panama has ample supply of synagogues, Kosher supermarkets, and Jewish day schools. The Free Zone in Colon is a haven for many of the Jewish developers. The contrast is an interesting one, considering that Panama was colonized by Catholic missionaries.
Panama truly is a diverse and international city. Check out our website to check out our land investment deals. Make your home in Panama! Visit www.panama-land-for-sale.com.
