Overview

The history of Jews in Oslo and Norway is brief and distinctive. This tour is also unusual as it covers most of the history on one street. We will begin in front of the location where the first Jewish family settled in Oslo and continue down the city's main street. The street was always bustling with activity, and it's no surprise that Jewish businessmen also opened stores there. Monuments, the Parliament building, and even the city's main church all have some connection to Jewish history. Imagine that even the Royal family has something in common with a Jewish boy from Tunisia. The tour is accompanied by many visual materials and stories from Oslo's Jewish community. A visit to the Jewish Museum (located in the former synagogue building) can be included in the itinerary upon request.

Meeting points

Square Jernbarnetorget, it is in front of Oslo Central station.

DO NOT MISS this powerful tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

On a recent trip to Oslo, I was supremely fortunate to have a private tour with Rami Kafarov. He brought the Jewish history of Norway to vivid life in an understated, superbly prepared and organized way. He is a polymath, multilingual, multitalented, and deeply conversant with the country's Jewish history. Do not miss this tour. It will move you deeply. Also, he is shy about the brief but phenomenal photo-book he created--ask him about it and buy one for all your friends! He has juxtaposed current Oslo and historic pictures of Jewish life in an uncanny and powerful way.

Best historical tour of Jewish experience in Norway!

Published on Sep, 2024

Rami is an amazing guide. He is informative and personable. Rami gave us extensive insight into the history of the small Jewish population os Norway through WWII. Highly recommended this tour!

Highly recommended!

Published on Sep, 2024

Rami was amazing and personable. He was informative and answered all our questions. Rami gave us a detailed narrative of Jewish life before and during WWII. We cannot recommend this tour more!
