The Jodenbreestraat is a street in the centre of Amsterdam, which connects the Sint Antoniesluis sluice gates to the Mr. Visserplein traffic circle. North of the sluice gates, the street continues on to Nieuwmarkt square as the Sint Antoniesbreestraat. The Mozes en Aäronkerk church stands at the southern end of the street. Directly behind the Jodenbreestraat is Waterlooplein square with its daily flea market.
The philosopher Baruch Spinoza was born in a house that stood where the Mozes en Aäronkerk church now stands. The painter Rembrandt lived from 1639 to 1656 in what is now the Rembrandthuis museum. Opposite the museum is a sculpture bearing a poem by Jacob Israël de Haan.
Il fut creusé à la suite de la construction du Uilenburgergracht en 1593, afin de le relier au Oudeschans. Au XIXe siècle, les îles nouvellement créées de Uilenburg, Valkenburg et Marken constituaient les quartiers les plus pauvres du quartier juif.
