Talk:List of Caribbean Jews

non-Latin?

Why non-Latin? The early Caribbean Jewish communities were largely Sephardic. --Gruepig 06:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I think people have the idea that only Judahists directly from Spain/perhaps Portugal are Sepharadic. The Nederlander Jews were primarily descended from refugees from the Inquisition, plus a sizeable amount directly from the Mediterraenean. They are also Sepharadic. Karl Marx was also Sephardic, his mother was from Nederlander Jews. His father was from French Jews, also Sephardic, who became part of Prussia when it took over Alsace-Lorraine and then stripped Jews of any and all rights. JBDay 01:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Criteria for inclusion

I am trying to verify/cite as many of these names as possible, and one immediate problem that's jumping out is: how are we defining Caribbean Jews? A number of the people I've looked at so far are members of the diaspora who were born outside the Caribbean and never lived there, and/or who have their Jewish ancestry through their non-Caribbean side. (Two examples: José Antonio Bowen, with a Jewish father and Cuban mother, and Eric Andre, with a Haitian father and Jewish mother; both were born in the U.S. and have never lived in the Caribbean.)

Can we agree to a definition we can all work from? Right now, the page refers to "countr[ies] of origin," so that would seem to eliminate both members of the diaspora and Jewish immigrants to the Caribbean. Beginning (talk) 09:49, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

On a related note, I just removed all of the entries with no articles or refs [1]. Some of them may actually be notable if anyone wants to write articles about them. As it was there was no evidence as to their notability, their Jewish heritage (other than assumptions based on names) , or their connection to the Caribbean. Some were clearly not notable.
