Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum is another attraction of Rio de Janeiro. As many Jewish immigrants from Europe live in Brazil, this museum provides valuable information about their life and culture.

The museum contains personal belongings of Jews, including many art objects and prayer supplies. The attraction of the museum is a collection of ritual seven candlestick jeweler Jose Feldman.

In the museum you can learn about the Jewish criminal group called “Zvi Migdal”, natives of Poland, who traded in one of the districts of the city with live goods.

The museum has a video archive that tells about the waves of immigration to Brazil of Sephardic Jews. There are numerous interviews with immigrants from Mediterranean countries.
