The Neveh Shalom Synagogue next door to the Mosque Keizerstraat in Paramaribo, Suriname. The first Jews to Suriname arrived in the area in 1639 and built one of the first synagogues in the Americas upstream in a place named Jodensavanne, the ruins of which you can still visit. It's interesting to note that the floor inside this particular synagogue is covered in sand, which is typical for synagogues in the Caribbean. I took this photo back in 2013 on a trip across the countries of Northern South America. #Travel
