Overview
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, no one less than the emperor D. Pedro II. Following the example in many cities in the world, we have selected the main attractions of the Jewish heritage in Rio de Janeiro, presented by expert tour guides.
Besides the attractions listed we will also visit the Synagogue Shel Gmelut Hassidim (in the Sephardic Jewish-Spanish rite) which has received the visit of emperor D. Pedro II, located in Botafogo. In Copacabana, we visit the Club Israelita Brasileiro and Beth El Synagogue. 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, according to client´s request and/or availability.

Reviews
The small jewish museum had wonderful menorahs and we got a guided discussion of the key items there -
Overall we could not have had a better experience and highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be in touch with their jewish heritage outside of their country
Our guide was Leonardo and he did an amazing job sharing with us not only the details of the tour but his own personal heritage -
A big Shalom to Leonardo and this company for continuing to keep alive the roots of jewish history in Rio
