Guided Tours
We offer various tours to learn about the Jewish presence in Mexico City. Our tours are meaningful experiences informed by testimonies from people who lived in the places we visit, as well as family photographs, Yiddish newspaper advertisements, and other documents that we share with visitors.
All tours are on foot, starting from a set point depending on the chosen route.

2nd Sunday of each month.

Duration: 2 hours.

Meeting point: Justo Sierra 71, Historic Center.
This is a fascinating journey into the past of Jewish immigrants who arrived in Mexico nearly a hundred years ago and settled in streets near the old La Merced market in the Historic Center of Mexico City. Ancient neighborhoods provided them shelter. In their rooms, they recreated age-old customs and traditions, studied, prayed, set up tailoring workshops, opened Jewish grocery stores, kosher butcher shops, and European-style bakeries that did not exist before their arrival. We will see the places where the midwife, the mohel, the shohet, the rabbi, and the cook lived, among many others. We will visit two beautiful synagogues: Monte Sinaí, the first in Mexico, inaugurated in 1923 by the Damascus community (which has restricted visits to its interior since October 7), and Nidje Israel, the Historic Synagogue, founded in 1941 as the first Ashkenazi synagogue. Additionally, we will enter two neighborhoods full of stories and walk through streets to see many sites related to the everyday life of immigrants. Meeting point: Justo Sierra 71, Historic Center.
