About

The Kosher House

The Jewish Community of Venice is glad to welcome its guests to the only kosher residence of the city, ideally located in the oldest and best preserved Jewish Ghetto of Europe, right in front of the Jewish Museum and Synagogues and within walking distance to all the most important tourist and cultural sites and also Santa Lucia train station, the bus station, the cruise ship port and the "vaporetto" (public water bus).

The location of the Kosher House "Giardino dei Melograni", in the historic centre but off of the most crowded streets, lends a sense of peace to the city's charm.

The marvellous pomegranate garden, in Hebrow pomegranate is rimonim, that leads to the building, rapresents an exclusive and unique space, where you can spend pleasant and relaxing moments. The pomegranate in Jewish tradition is a symbole of prosperity and wealth. The 600 seeds it contains remind us of the 613 Mitzwoth.
