Darhe Jesarim was a Black Jewish synagogue formed in Suriname. It is the earliest known synagogue in the African diaspora. The synagogue was later disbanded and Black and mixed-race Jews were integrated back into Suriname's predominantly white synagogues.[1]

History

By 1759, enslaved and free Afro-Surinamese Jews (sometimes referred to by scholars as "Eurafrican Jews") had formed their own brotherhood and called it Darhe Jesarim ("Path of the Righteous" in Hebrew). The synagogue was located in Sivaplein.[2] Darhe Jesarim both educated Jews of color and provided a place where Afro-Surinamese Jews could worship without the inequities and distinctions made in Paramaribo's white-run Neveh Shalom and Tzedek ve-Shalom congregations. In 1817, Darhe Jesarim was disbanded and its members were absorbed back into the city's two white-run synagogues.[3]
