Highlights
The Jewish presence in Rio de Janeiro started at the time of the first Portuguese navigators in the 1500´s. Since then, the Israelite immigration was constant, mainly thanks to the encouragement of a great admirer of the Jewish culture, the emperor D. Pedro II. For this tour we have selected the main attractions of the Jewish heritage in Rio de Janeiro, presented by expert tour guides.
If possible, besides the attractions listed we will also plan to visit, in Copacabana, the Beth El Synagogue and Clube Israelita Brasileiro, where they keep a comunity farmacy to help the ones in need.
Note: The synagogues Beth Yaacov (in the Eastern-European Ashkenazi rite) in Copacabana, and Beit Lubavitch (Orthodox Chasidic rite), in Leblon, may replace other synagogues, per client request.
Note:
- Visits to synagogues depend on availability on the day. If there is an internal event, we will not be able to enter.
- The Holocaust Memorial only opens from Thursday till Sunday.
