Jewish Cultural Experience in Rio de Janeiro

The journey begins in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel located in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro. Our first destination is Yitzhak Rabin Park, a significant site as we delve into the areas enriching the city's Jewish heritage.

During our visit, you will learn about the legacy of Israel's former president, whose name the park bears—a tribute inaugurated by his wife. Simultaneously, enjoy stunning vistas of two of Rio's iconic natural attractions—the Botafogo beach and Sugarloaf Mountain.

As we continue, you'll discover a public school dedicated to Anna Frank and Chaim Weitzmann Square, named after Israel's first president. Next, a visit to the Jewish Museum and the Grand Temple awaits, a magnificent structure constructed in the early 20^th century to celebrate the Jewish community's presence. We will explore these locations to gain deeper insight into the history and cultural significance of Judaism in Brazil.

Our tour concludes in the vibrant neighborhoods of Copacabana and Leblon, where we will stop by various Jewish temples, including the synagogues of Beth El and Beit Lubavitch. We finish our journey at the Midrash Cultural Centre, providing you with the opportunity to explore at your leisure.
