Part of the NY jews are from Brazil: fleeing from the Portuguese reconquest of Dutch possessions in Brazil. We pushed them into the sea from their settlement in Olinda in NE Brazil.

Mid-17th century Brazil was having the first sentiment of a nationalism and we didn't want foreigners there.

Jewish Luso-Americans
In September, 1654, shortly before the Jewish New Year, twenty-three Jews of Portuguese ancestry from Recife, Brazil, arrived in New York, which at the time was under Dutch rule and known as New Amsterdam. This arrival was the beginning of Jewish-American history. Sephardi Portuguese Jews were also the early settlers of Newport (where the country's first synagouge was founded), Charleston, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
