Walking Tour of Jewish New Orleans:

This tour takes a trip through the French Quarter with an emphasis on how Jews have contributed to the multi-ethnic gumbo known as New Orleans. The Jewish community has had an active presence in New Orleans since colonial times, contributing to culture, business, and music. As attendees walk through the original city, you’ll learn about the earliest Jewish settlers, who could easily have lost their identity in a Catholic colony.
You’ll see where those who arrived in the 19th and 20th centuries lived and worked. You’ll learn how they contributed to the development and growth of the city, adding to the unique mingling of the old world and new that is New Orleans. Jews are among the strongest preservationists of the French Quarter and one of its most significant achievements, jazz. They also have an impact on that other great New Orleans cultural contribution to the world, food. 
This 2-hour tour is $35 per person. Scheduled tour times are Thursday and Sunday at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. Additional times can be requested via email. Click here for more information.
