A bit of history

Jewish immigration to Argentina began in the 19th century, with major waves from Russia and Eastern Europe. Buenos Aires became a hub, and by the early 1900s, the city had one of the largest Jewish populations in the Americas. The Belgrano neighborhood emerged as a cultural and religious center.
