The Jewish tour of Recife and Olinda is a very special experience for those interested in learning more about the presence of Jews and New Christians in Pernambuco between the 16th and 17th centuries. The historian guide will take you to see the main landmarks of the Jewish presence and also learn more about the Brazilian colonial economy, the socio-religious culture of the Brazilian people and also the European wars that brought Portuguese Jews from the Netherlands who were directly involved in the colonial exploration of Brazil during the 17th century. First, in the city of Olinda, you will visit some of the main churches, markets and streets of the colonial period, as well as the main vestiges of the Marrano presence in Brazil in the 16th century; in the city of Recife, the tour will be in the historic neighborhood Centro, where most of the Jewish community was concentrated during the Dutch period of the 17th century, and you will find the first public synagogue in the Americas.

Those who want to have a memorable, enriching and unforgettable experience about the early Jewish presence in Brazil, can do this tour. I met the first synagogue of the Americas : fascinating ... the house of Branca Dias ( in Olinda ) , the Jewish neighborhood , already from the post-war years , where there were shops , houses and a Jewish synagogue at the time but which is still in perfect condition . For those from Rio type to Plaza 11 and nearby areas. My guide picked me up at the hotel and we made several circuits. I felt very well received. Meu guia foi o Jader Taschlitsky . He has great knowledge of any matter involving the Jews and Recife. Masters the subject very well and is a very nice and friendly person.

The tour was so educational. Our guide was knowledgeable and explained Jewish life in Recife now and long ago. Highly recommend this tour - we were able to see Recife and Olinda.

Victor is very, very knowledgeable, considerate and personable. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and were exposed to everything we wanted to see plus more. We were quite interested in seeing the synagogue and he explained its history in depth. We could not have been more pleased. Kudos to Victor. You are lucky to have him.
