Reviews
If interested in this type of tour, don’t miss it if in Rio.
Unprompted and uncompensated, Efraim offered to and took us for Shabbat Services to the Reform ARI synagogue. He introduced us to the Rabbi and some of his friends. Everyone was outgoing and friendly and we had a great time.
I highly recommend this tour.
