On December 05 (Sunday) 2021 at 11.00 a walk "Jewish Pages in the History of Odessa" will take place together with an amazing guide Ekaterina Ergeeva. You can often hear that the Jews "made" Odessa. In many ways it is. By the beginning of the 20th century, a third of the city's residents were Jews. They were given special benefits and indulgences, because among the Jews there were teachers, doctors, accountants, tailors, architects, writers and politicians. The phenomenon of Jewish Odessa is that from a multinational city it became the center of Zionism. It was here in 1890 that the famous Palestinian Committee appeared, that is why Odessa was called the "Gate of Zion". Let's walk through the Odessa addresses: the rich Banking dynasties of Ephrussi and Ashkenazi lived here, Sholom Aleichem and Vladimir Zhabotinsky worked, David Oistrakh took the first notes on the violin. And, of course, what Odessa is without colorful Jewish anecdotes! Walking walk, through the city center and not only, is designed for 2-2.5 hours After the walk, a small tasting of Jewish dishes is provided. During the tasting, we will be told about each tasting dish, about Jewish traditional holidays. The cost of the excursion is 350 UAH. Meeting point: near the monument to Duke de Richelieu on Primorsky Boulevard. During the walk, we comply with all sanitary standards. You can sign up by calling 0504624199 Mandatory reservation of a place.
