The history of the Jews in Sudan reaches back over a century. It ranges from a difficult period of religious intolerance to prosperity for the country's Jewish population and then back to a nearly complete disappearance of the community, almost all of which took place in the twentieth century.
Jewish community in Sudan was concentrated in the capital Khartoum, and had been established in the late 19th century. By the middle of the 20th century the community included some 350 Jews, mainly of Sephardic background, who had constructed a synagogue and a Jewish school. Between 1948 and 1956, some members of the community left the country, and it ceased to exist by the early sixties.[1][2]
