Abstract
Brazilian religious plurality has been growing significantly in recent decades. The search for identification with a current religious promotes a process of religious migration and consolidation of new faith organizations. This study analyzes a religious community founded in the city of Caxias do Sul, in the Serra Gaúcha, which manifests its faith in Judaism. By means of a trajectory of conversions marked by specificities, this group happened to consider itself Jewish in a city marked by the catholic manifestations. The longing for a Jewish identity characterizes the historical experience of this community.
