Naomi Koopmans is a guide of Amsterdam’s Jewish heritage. In the past decade she has guided many people of different backgrounds through Amsterdam’s Portuguese Synagogue, Jewish Museum, Holocaust Memorial and old Jewish district. Naomi’s background and experience match her role as passionate storyteller of Amsterdam’s Jewish history and present. “Ten important years of my life I spent in Israel. There I was privileged to explore in depth my Jewish heritage. My related B.A. – and M.A. degrees from Tel Aviv University and experience as a licensed tourguide in Israel and Rome are the best background for a tourguide of Jewish heritage in Amsterdam or anywhere in the world. Ever since the start of my career, I have never stopped reading, studying and exploring archives”, says Naomi Koopmans. Naomi‘s current involvement in Amsterdam’s Jewish community and her readiness to share the ins and outs thereof, complete her narration and keep it up to date. “My daughter was Bat-Mitzvahd last year in the Amsterdam Jewish progressive community and my son’s Bar-Mitzvah is upcoming. Our congregation is vibrant and active. It feels like my second home”, says Naomi Koopmans.
