Jewish Heritage Tour of Odesa

Your Odesa tour guide and driver will take you to the houses of some famous Jewish people in Kyiv. Then, you will visit an old Jewish hospital and two existing synagogues (Habat and Main).
Proceed to see the Brodsky Synagogue, the second-largest synagogue in Kyiv. This holy site is of great cultural importance to the Jewish people who visit Kyiv.
Later, you will be taken to Moldavanka, the Jewish region of Odessa, where you will see the Alley of Righteous Gentiles, which is considered an important site in the holy city of Yad Vashem, the Road to Death, which is the path Ukrainian Jews walked on towards their deaths, and the Holocaust Memorial, built in remembrance of all those who were murdered by the Nazi hand.
During the tour, you can optionally visit a private Museum of Jewish History (additional entrance fee payable on the spot), which will help you gain a deeper understanding of the eventualities of the World War II period and their impact on the Jews.
