	João Sedycias: Article on the Sephardim of Brazil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		By the time Recife (city in northeastern Brazil, capital of the state of Pernambuco) became a prosperous center of sugar production in the 16th and 17th centuries, Portuguese settlers of Jewish descent and Marranos were already living in the city and its environs.
		It should be added that the Jews of Recife were not all wealthy financiers and merchants, as one might easily be led to believe from reading the anti-Semitic propaganda of their Catholic and Calvinist critics.
		Soon after, the Jews of Recife needed rabbis, Hebrew teachers, and hazanim, and thus invited the renowned rabbi Isaac Aboab da Fonseca, one of the four rabbis of the congregation Talmud Torah in Amsterdam, and the scholar Moses Raphael d’Aguilar to come to Brazil as their spiritual leaders.
