Highlights
  • Associação Hehaver - Sinagoga Ohel Jacob - The Ohel Jacob Synagogue (“Tent of Jacob”) was founded in 1934 by a small Jewish group of Ashkenazic origin from Central Europe. This group of Jews, primarily Poles, would play a remarkable role in the dynamization of this religious space, a singular synagogue characterized by its openness to the outside, tolerance and understanding for Jews of all origins, especially the integration of the descendants of Marranos – or b’nei Anusim –, these sons of the “forced”.

Amazing tour - Paolo was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information on the history of the Jewish people in Lisbon. We especially enjoyed the synagogue visit at the end. It was very special. In addition all of the little stops he made were appreciated

Great morning - Paolo was a great tour guide. Gave us a very good overview of the Jewish history throughout Lisbon. Brought us to some very interesting spots that we never would have discovered on our own. Thank you Paolo for a wonderful morning!

Outstanding Lisbon Jewish tour - I can't think of enough superlatives to describe how interesting Paolo's Jewish Lisbon walking tour is. Paolo is not only extremely knowledgable and passionate about the subject but he is also a brilliant storyteller. On his tour we got a unique perspective about Lisbon and saw plaques and Jewish artefacts that we would never have found ourselves.

Fascinating day with a great guide - It was a great day. Paolo picked us up at our hotel right on time, and was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke fluent English. He answered all our questions in a wide ranging tour, both historically and geographically in Lisbon. Even brought us to a wonderful local restaurant for lunch. Happy to recommend this tour.

Amazing Lisbon Jewish Tour - The Views were amazing, as was Paolo, my Tour Guide! He was professional, interesting, & most informative of his knowledge of Jewish history of Lisbon. I so enjoyed listening to his stories of Jewish Lisbon past. I highly recommend him, also, for his information on Lisbon in general.
