  • Suggested  attractions from which to create an  itinerary for Dublin Tour with special reference to the Jewish Heritage of our City Pick u
  • Maximum 4 people
  • The actual number of attractions visited and sequence can vary according to individual requirements and time constraints Coffee and Baigel in the Bretzel  Bakery on me. This was opened in 1870 by a Jewish family, the Grinsons and still produces Kosher style breads-the Challah is gorgeous.
  • Old Jewish Quarter-Where my late Father lived as a neighbour of the Herzogs in 22 Victoria  Street
  • Exterior of formally Zion Schools, the main seat of Jewish School education from 1933
  • Jewish Museum-Note that the Irish Jewish Museum is shut on Saturdays and Jewish Holidays.
  • Old Walworth Road Synagogue
  • Exterior of Adelaide Road Synagogue-where all my family went to Shul and I was Barmitzvah (long time ago!!)
  • Exterior of Greenville Hall Synagogue
  • Trinity College Dublin the University where many prominent Jewish people attended plus the bonus of the Book of Kells-time permitting
  • Little Museum of Dublin a fascinating historical glimpse of Dublin with much Jewish interest-time permitting
  • The James Joyce Museum in Sandycove a Martello Tower mentioned in Ulysses and visited in that work by Leopold Bloom
  • Depending on time perhaps lunch (not included)

I can of course tailor a tour to suit specific requirements but I do find that the above itinerary forms the basis of a very satisfactory tour. Shortened versions of the tour can be available on request.
I underpin and personalise this tour with sight of an amazing collection of old family photographs and original documents illustrating my grandparents route from Russia in the late 1800’s through England and finally coming to Dublin.
