Led by historian and New Orleans tour guide Roni Bossin, 2.5 - 3 hour walking tour explores nearly 300 years of Jewish life woven into the story of New Orleans. From Bienville Place and the Code Noir to the Holocaust Memorial and the heart of the French Quarter, participants encounter early Jewish merchants, landmark legal disputes, hidden Stars of David in Creole architecture, and surprising cultural intersections—including stories tied to Café du Monde and St. Louis Cathedral.
Figures such as Judah P. Benjamin, Judah Touro, and the “Jewish Banana Man” animate this vivid walk through Jewish New Orleans. Each tour includes beignets and coffee and is limited to 20 participants.
