Where was the first synagogue in the American continent? From where came the first group of Jewish families to arrive in New York ? In my Jewish focused tour of Rio de Janeiro I will let you know The answer to these questions and many other interesting facts about the Jewish presence in Brazil.

You will also have the opportunity of visiting some of the most important places related to the Jewish life in Rio de Janeiro as for example:

-visit to the Grand Temple the first bulding in the then capital of the Country to be designed and built to be a synagogue.

-pass in the region that formerly was known as the Jewish Neighborhood

-visit the Ytzchak Rabin Memorial park.

-drive by several synagogues, Jewish day schools and the local equivalent to a JCC.

-and more.

Of course all this inserted in a tour in which you will also visit and enjoy the "Marvelous City's" most famous attractions and sites: Sugar Loaf; Corcovado; Maracanã soccer stadium, the Carnaval parade place, etc.

We recommend that guests dress appropriately to enter the Synagogue.

For security reasons we will need a list of all the names of the passengers interested in this tour as required for entry into the Synagogue.
