Brazil: Brazil has an official Jewish population of 100,000, with about 45,000 in Sao Paulo, 26,000 in Rio and the rest mainly in Porto Alegre and Belem. However, some local community leaders put the figures as high as 60,00-80,000 for Sao Paulo, 30,000-40,000 for Rio and 15,000 for Porto Alegre.

Sao Paulo is today a Torah City, with the Sephardim in the lead. Sao Paulo has four Orthodox schools and four traditional ones. Rio has had a reputation amongst Bnei Torah as the ‘forbidden city’ of pritzus though here too Judaism is going forward with two Orthodox run schools, a mini-kollel, a Bnei Akiva and a branch of Binyan Olam and a huge Chabad community complex. Unlike Sao Paulo, however, the primary Klei Kodesh are all imported, mainly as Shelichim from Israel. Porto Alegre has, for the first time, allowed an Orthodox rabbi to teach in its school, a major breakthrough.
