SUMMARY:Jewish Portugal
DESCRIPTION:\n\nwith Gloria Ribeiro\n\nThe Jewish heritage of Lisbon&nbsp\;
 started in Roman times (if not before).&nbsp\;This visit will allow you to
  understand the living Jewish community in Lisbon and learn about their hi
 story\, their traditions and their everyday life. We will see the Sharee T
 ikva synagogue and refer to the massacre of Passover of 1506\, for which a
  memorial was built by Jews and Catholics to express the reconciliation be
 tween religions. We will also walk virtually through Lisbon's historic dow
 ntown\, where two of the Jewish quarters used to be located. The Alfama\, 
 the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon\, still preserves the 8th century layout
 \, and here\, Jews\, Christians and Muslims used to live and work side by 
 side.\n\nFor centuries after the expulsion\, many "Conversos" kept practic
 ing their faith in secrecy\, and the most famous example are the Belmonte 
 Jews\, who until recently lived as an isolated community. We will also lea
 rn about the growing community of Porto\, representing about 500 Jews from
  more than 30 countries.\n\nGlória Ribeiro finished her university degree
  on National Tourist Guiding\, and&nbsp\;became Portugal's official guide 
 in five languages in 2004.&nbsp\;She loves to show her people and their hi
 story to all her visitors\, especially Portuguese Jewish history. She actu
 ally believes she has Jewish background herself.\n\nPlease click here to r
