Virtual Walking Tour: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires is home to the largest Jewish population in Latin America, with a history that dates back to the 19th century when the first Jewish immigrants arrived. This live-stream tour takes you through the rich history and vibrant culture of the Argentinian-Jewish community, from its early beginnings to its thriving presence today.

 

Explore the “Once” neighborhood, Buenos Aires’ Jewish Quarter, where the community’s influence is still deeply felt. Mezuzot adorn the doors of textile shops, and Kosher butcheries, synagogues, yeshivas, and Jewish schools are a common sight. Along the way, we’ll visit landmarks like the Paso Synagogue and AMIA (the Jewish Community Center). The tour also features the iconic Jewish Synagogue of Libertad Street, also known as Templo Libertad, the oldest Jewish institution in Argentina and a stunning national historic monument. Join us as we uncover the fascinating story of Jewish Buenos Aires! Co-presented with Wowzitude.
