The Jewish presence in Rio de Janeiro started at the time of the first Portuguese navigators in the 1500's.
The tour begins with a visit to Park Itzhak Rabin, inaugurated by Lea, his wife, with privileged views over Botafogo beach and Sugar Loaf.
On the way to Downtown, see Chaim Weitzman Square, a public school named after Anne Frank and the neighborhood of Catete, where resident Jews formerly established thriving furniture commerce.
Then, a visit to the Jewish Museum and the Grand Temple, a beautiful building from 1932.
The next attraction is the Midrash Cultural center in Leblon. It was conceived as a study center.

** I's also possible to add to the Jewish tour the highlights of Rio.
