Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue, Traditional synagogue in Manaus, Brazil

Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue is a synagogue in Manaus, completed in 1962 when the Beit Yaacov congregation, founded in 1925, merged with the Rabi Meyr congregation, inaugurated in 1936. Its construction was financed by local businessmen Isaac Benayon Sabbá, Samuel Benchimol, Isaac Benzecry and Moysés Benarrós Israel. It serves a Sephardic congregation of North African origin and is one of the largest and most influential among Amazonian Jews.

The first synagogue in Manaus opened in 1925, followed by a cemetery in 1928 and the Jewish Federation in 1929, after Moroccan Jews moved from the river hinterland to the city when the rubber economy collapsed. The Rebi Meyr synagogue was inaugurated in 1936, and in 1962 the two congregations merged into the current Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr. Its construction was financed by local businessmen Isaac Benayon Sabbá, Samuel Benchimol, Isaac Benzecry and Moysés Benarrós Israel.

The congregation descends from Moroccan Jews who left Tangier, Tetouan, Rabat and Casablanca for the Amazon, and from Alsatian Jews who settled in Manaus after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. Services follow Sephardic tradition. The community also runs the Jewish school Jacob Azulay, the WIZO women's group and the Betar youth group.

This location primarily serves as a gathering place for religious services and community events. Before visiting, it is helpful to check opening times and access guidelines, as the building is mainly used for worship activities and special occasions.

The rabbi Shalom Emanuel Muyal came from Morocco in 1908 to check on the Amazonian Jewish families and died of yellow fever in 1910. He was buried in Manaus's Catholic cemetery, and his grave became a pilgrimage site for Christians. In the 1980s his nephew Eliyahu Moyal tried to bring the bones to Israel, but the request was refused.
