Soon after, all 3 congregations were consolidated into the fourth by the Jews from Spain and Portugal. This named "Neweh Shalom" the common place of worship in Amsterdam. It was proclaimed, but given warnings to by city authorities who were worried about conflict. Once it was financially stable, a ceremony took place for consecration. A Jewish school called "Ez Hayyim" was also founded around this time. abbygreenberg1 https://padlet.com/abbygreenberg1/1c756pmz2krg7qq0/wish/1592586009 2021-06-08 11:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abbygreenberg1/1c756pmz2krg7qq0/wish/1592586009 Why move here? abbygreenberg1 https://padlet.com/abbygreenberg1/1c756pmz2krg7qq0/wish/1592599432 In Amsterdam, Jews are not limited.
