Jungle areas of northern Peru[edit]

The descendants of Jews in jungle areas of northern Peru, such as Iquitos and Tarapoto, among others, are descendants of Moroccan Sephardic Jews who arrived in the 1800's. See Amazonian Jews.

These people are NOT Sephardic Bnei Anusim, even if most of them have assimilated and are no longer Jewish-integrated persons (just as Sephardic Bnei Anusim).

There is a difference between the two:

Moroccan Jews arrived to the Peruvian jungle as Jews only a century and a half ago.
The Sephardic Anusim ancestors of the Sephardic Bnei Anusim arrived as conversos (nominal Christians) in Peru.
Their histories are different.
The timeframes of immigration is different (1500's-1600's vs 1800's).
The population source of Jews is different.
More importantly, their status in halakha is different.

There is a difference between assimilated Amazonian Jews versus Sephardic Bnei Anusim.

If, however, you are refering to an attested community of Peruvians, which are descended from colonial-era Sephardic Anusim in the northern jungles of Peru, please include the relevant sources upon which you rely in your edit.

Paisa region in Colombia[edit]

There is no such thing as a Paisa region, the word "Paisa" is used colloquially by Colombians of all regions to refer to people that share the cultural background of the Andean region of Antioquia and Eje cafetero. Saying Paisa Region is as correct as saying the "new yorker region". Is of note that the majority of Sinagoges and Jewish organized communities are located in the Capital Bogotá and Cali city while the customs and traditions of Paisa people differ greatly from the customs and traditions of recognized Bnei Anusim communities, pork being one of the main components of their diet, for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.25.77.198 (talk) 21:37, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
