We spent our day in Riga on a Jewish Heritage tour. Our tour took us to Rumbula, a Jewish memorial in the center of town, a getto museum, and a synagogue that has survived in Riga until today. We learned a lot about the declining Jewish population in Riga and what factors contributed to those deteriorating numbers. We also got to see much of the town, which is about twice as big as Tallinn, while going from location to location on our bus tour.
