Rome, or Roma as it is known locally, is home to one of the most ancient and continuously thriving Jewish communities in the world. Jewish presence in the Eternal City predates many of its iconic structures, with records indicating a community flourishing even before the Colosseum's construction. This deep-rooted history is not merely a relic of the past but an active, vibrant part of the city's contemporary life. The historic Jewish Ghetto, a compact area nestled between the Tiber River and Via del Portico d'Ottavia, remains the epicenter of Jewish life, housing the Great Synagogue (Tempio Maggiore), a multitude of kosher restaurants, bakeries, butcher shops, and Jewish cultural institutions, all within easy walking distance.
