History Of The Jews In Panama
The history of Jews in Panama began in the 16th century, with the arrival of the first conversos who had been expelled from or were fleeing Spain and Portugal due to the Spanish inquisition. While these individuals professed to be Catholic for their safety, many continued to practice Judaism in secret. After the Inquisition ended, Sephardic immigration to Panama increased. Despite the presence of Jews in the country, years of secret practice meant that there was no established community, a fact that began to change in the 1800s. There were waves of immigration from Syria following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire following World War I, and from Europe as Ashkenazi Jews fled the Holocaust. Today, Panama is home to the largest Jewish population in Central America. There are more than 10,000 Jews living in Panama, most of whom live in Panama City.

Maariv
''Maariv'' or ''Maʿariv'' (, ), also known as ''Arvit'', or ''Arbit'' (, ), is a Jewish prayer service held in the evening or at night. It consists primarily of the evening '' Shema'' and ''Amidah''. The service will often begin with two verses from Psalms, followed by the communal recitation of '' Barechu''. The three paragraphs of the ''Shema'' are then said, both preceded and followed by two blessings; sometimes, a fifth blessing is added at the end. The hazzan (cantor) then recites a half-''Kaddish''. Everyone says the ''Amidah'' quietly, and, unlike at the other services, the hazzan does not repeat it. The hazzan recites the full ''Kaddish'', '' Aleinu'' is recited, and the mourners' ''Kaddish'' ends the service; some groups recite another Psalm before or after ''Aleinu''. Other components occasionally added include the counting of the Omer (between Passover and Shavuot) and, in many communities, Psalm 27 (between the first of Elul and the end of Sukkot).
