Sao Paulo Jewish History Private Tour

We'll meet at your hotel at your chosen time to start this tour of Sao Paulo and its Jewish culture. We'll learn about the legacy of the Jewish community, which arrived in Brazil more than 400 years ago fleeing the Inquisition.

The first stop will be the Bom Retiro neighbourhood, where the Jews established their first settlement. Here, we will take a panoramic tour, including a visit to the Kehilat Israel Synagogue, the oldest synagogue in Sao Paulo, to view the map of Israel and many religious symbols on its outer wall.

Inside the temple is the Jewish Immigration Memorial, housing various objects, photos, and documents about Jewish culture. Next, we will go to Higienópolis, the center of the Paulista Jewish community since the 1920s, which features 11 synagogues, kosher restaurants, and schools.

One of the last stops will be at the Unibes cultural center, designed by architect Roberto Loeb. Here, you'll discover the Hebrew religious symbol that inspired Loeb's design.

To conclude this tour, we will visit the Jewish Museum, the largest institution in the country dedicated to Jewish history. We will learn about the importance of this religion for Brazilians and the different waves of Jewish migration to Brazil.

After 5 hours of learning, we'll drop you off at your hotel and say our goodbyes.
