The Jewish Rome Tour

Get the Flash Player to see this animation.

The Jewish Community of Rome is the most ancient one in the Diaspora. The first Jews came to Rome in 161 BC in connection with the Maccabean revolt against King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who had desecrated the Temple of Jerusalem. This small group of Jews gradually grew into a community which lived and thrived in the area called Trastevere. With the emergence of Christianity, prejudices against the Jews caused the gradual isolation of the community, which, in 1555, led to the establishment of the Ghetto. You will see how Jews lived and against all odds remained faithful to their Covenant throughout the centuries. You will hear about their trials, their endurance, and their survival in a society that, even though hostile, helped many of them to escape from Nazism’s folly. Finally, by lingering in the Ghetto’s central piazza, you will get a taste of how the new generations lead their life, torn between ancient traditions and modern needs.

In this fascinating walking tour of the Jewish Ghetto you will see not only breathtaking beauty, but experience the culture and lifestyle of a secret and unique reality of Rome.
