Jewish Tours to Portugal

Book this tour

The Jewish presence in Iberia has existed long before Portugal itself became a country. The contribution of Portuguese Jews to the arts, philosophy, commerce, and sciences helped create the rich cultural heritage of this nation. Our tour focuses on places of Jewish interest, as well as the fascinating people who continue to contribute to Portuguese society. These descendants of the Inquisition, often referred to as Marranos, are now known as the B’nai Anousim (Children of Oppression). Forced to convert during those awful days, many secretly, and over the centuries, retained their precious Jewish practices, as well as pride in their true heritage. These are the Secret Jews of Portugal – proof, to this day, that our people’s souls cannot be vanquished.

Jewish Tours to the Baltics

The Baltics – seat of over 1,200 years of Jewish heritage, Lithuania and Latvia produced an abundance of scholars and thinkers whose legacy is still immense.
