Montevideo
Montevideo: Tropical refuge in South America
They say, ‘Big things come in small packages.’ With Montevideo it’s true
Often left in the shadows of its larger neighbors to the north (Brazil) and west (Argentina), Uruguay’s Jewish community is renowned for its Zionist character and active Jewish community despite its relatively small population. You can find several Jewish sites along the beautiful Rambla waterfront avenue and even a menora in the summer if you happen to spend Hannuka in this cosmopolitan city in the southern hemisphere.
