I'm Ariel, born and raised in the Jewish quarter of Buenos Aires, widely known as "Once", I became an enthusiast of both Jewish history and culture. My grandparents survived the Holocaust and arrived to Argentina in 1948. Thus I decided to embrace my own history and I am writing my PhD thesis about the immigration of the Holocaust survivors to Argentina. I collaborate as a research assistant with the University of North Carolina at the Chappell Hill in a project related to the history of Cuban Jews before the communist revolution. I also teach Holocaust History at the Conservative Rabbinical Seminary in Latin America. As a historian whose area of interest and expertise is the history of Argentinian Jewry, I served as a consultant for the local Jewish Museums - the Holocaust Museum and the Jewish Museum of Buenos Aires. I am the former coordinator of the archive at the Jewish Museum, member of the Jewish Studies Organization in Argentina (Núcleo de Estudios Judíos) and of the Latin American Jewish Studies Association. Licensed Tour Guide of the City of Buenos Aires Working Historian I'm a tour guide, not a driver, so four my tours I would hire a professional driver to get us around.

Overview of your Buenos Aires tour

With this tour, you'll discover the past and present of Jewish life in Buenos Aires and Argentina, home to one of the largest Jewish communities in Latin America. We'll explore the traditional Jewish area of Once, where Jewish institutions, synagogues, shops and everyday neighborhood life tell the story of a community that has been part of Buenos Aires for generations. Throughout the tour, we'll learn about Jewish immigration, traditions and local "Yiddishkayt," as well as some of the most important events that shaped the community. We'll visit historic and contemporary Jewish sites and explore how Jewish life has evolved over time. More than a historical tour, this is an introduction to Jewish Buenos Aires: its history, identity, culture and vibrant community today.

The tour with Ariel was excellent for many reasons: excellent communication skills, exemplary English, wealth of historical information and all the information was presented in a way that was easy to follow and understand. Ariel provided a driver who transported us from one location to another. The car was clean and comfortable. During the time in the car, Ariel continued sharing information with us. My husband and I were both equally impressed with Ariel’s knowledge, expertise, and fluid delivery. Every question we asked was answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. I am so glad that we made the decision to sign up for his tour, it was truly a highlight of our time in Buenos Aires.

As a member of the local Jewish community and academic historian, Ari is the perfect person to introduce visitors to Jewish Buenos Aires. Ari is warm, caring and eager to share his family's stories in Buenos Aires. We covered a lot but at a relaxed pace (I have a bad knee). Beautiful Libertad Synagogue was a highlight, and we were lucky enough to meet the local congregation during our tour. Loved seeing Once with its vibrant shops and colorful streets. Ari's driver has an immaculate new car too. Highly recommend!
