How can I connect with the local Jewish narrative past and present?
What places and spaces reflect the Jewish footprint in the Mother City?
Where can I find my Jewish roots in Cape Town?
The Jewish Map to Cape Town answers these questions and a whole lot more.
There’s a short history. Did you know Jews have been involved in the exploration and settlement of the Cape since Europe first developed an interest in f inding alternate routes to India. The early Portuguese navigators Bartholomew Diaz and Vasco Da Gama would not have been able to make their journeys without the Jewish mapmakers and the astronomical tables drawn up by Abraham Zacuto.
A walking tour of the city provides some fascinating insights and new perspectives about many Cape Town landmarks.
Other areas covered are Places of Interest in and around the city, Kosher Cape Town, a Winelands Route and Country Communities. You will also find a useful list of contacts. And of course there are maps to help you find your way.
You can pick up a copy of the map at all Cape Town Tourism Visitor Info Centres, including Cape Town International Airport. Maps are also available at the SA Jewish Museum and all the places listed on the map.
