History of the Jews in Mozambique

The history of the Jews in Mozambique, until 1975, was closely connected with the history of Judaism through the former Portuguese Empire, particularly those elements of it operating on the coastlines of the Indian Ocean. By the time the first Portuguese ships entered this ocean in the late 15th century, Jewish merchants and persons connected with sea work had lived on, and next to, this ocean for many centuries.
