Overview

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 our culture, business, and music. As you 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 are also having an impact on that other great New Orleans cultural contribution to the world, food.

Enriching, Enlightening and great guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

We really enjoyed learning about Judah Benjamin, Touro and seeing the beautiful Woldenberg Park and its Holocaust memorial. Most of all, we had fun with Janet, whose knowledge is deep as is her sense of humor!

Great tour!

We had a great Jewish History of New Orleans tour with Janet. We were happy that we were able to take the tour despite terrible attack that happened in the city just the day before. Janet gave us the options to either cancel or move the tour, or proceed as scheduled. We were the only couple on the tour. Janet is extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and we learned so much about the Jewish history, not just in NO, but in the South in general. We had a nice walk through the city and were able to see a lot. We would highly recommend taking this tour with Janet.
