R. Filipe da Mata 103 2.º andar, 1600-070 Lisboa, Portugal 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”. 40 minutes

Loved seeing culturally significant sights in a relaxed and pleasant environment. The befuddle was well maintained and expertly navigated through the streets of Lisbon, which can be challenging.

Paolo is very knowledgeable about the history of the Jews. The Synagogue tour was a real highlight. A terrific tour for anyone interested in the history of the Jews and their travails throughout Europe.
