Jewish Community of Ecuador

Our visit was a wonderful experience that far exceeded our expectations. This is a spirited Jewish community in the excruciating minority of the Ecuadorian population. Yet this community established a significant presence to raise children in aJewish life and also finds the means to support the non Jewish community that is in need. The building itself rivals the highest profile synagogues in the USA as its construction encompasses a connection to Jerusalem structures. The tour that my wife and I were provided was warm and helped to establish an immediate bond with our Jewish heritage. This is a MUST stop when visiting Quito. 30 minute taxi ride from hotel. $20 RT fee including wait time of driver of an hour or so. Must get approval in advance and submit pix of passports at least 30 days in advance. Security for entrance is refreshingly tight. Make sure taxi remains, do not pay taxi upon arrival only upon return for obvious reasons.

Excellent place!
