◾ Congregacion Israelita de la Republica Argentina The Synagogue of the Israelite Congregation of the Argentine Republic, also known as Templo Libertad, was the first synagogue built in Buenos Aires and the oldest in the country. It was declared a National Historic Monument in December 2000.
◾ Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina The Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina, AMIA, is a center of the Jewish community. Its main objectives are to promote the welfare and development of the Argentine Jewish community and to keep the traditions and values of that community alive. On July 18, 1994, the headquarters of AMIA was the target of an attack through a car bomb. It was the largest terrorist attack in Argentine history, with 85 people dead and 300 wounded.
