· Scope and Content	During 1985, JDC intensified its involvement with the Jewish communities of Brazil. Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, had the second-largest Jewish population with about 120,000 Jews. The Jewish population was largely an urban one, concentrated in the two main cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s Jewish community was relatively self-sufficient and JDC’s involvement was in discrete projects: these included outreach programs directed at the revitalization of small communities in the interior, including Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Manaos; teacher training and activities for parents in Jewish schools; and training programs for professional and lay leaders in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Porte Alegre.
