“We really enjoyed this your. Being Jewish I was curious about the Jewish life and culture here. It was surprising to learn that while it exists it’s very small. Now only two synagogues, out of five, are still in use as a synagogue. While this food tour has five stops, only two of them were Kosher foods: Gam Gam a restaurant and a bakery. I really enjoyed Gam Gam and would have loved to stay and eat more. Our next kosher stop was a bakery. Fabulous baked products. We then moved through the rest of the Jewish ghetto, actually learned about the word ghetto, and a history of Jewish life…”
