My wife Shelley and I will be traveling to Rhodes in September of 2025, arriving on the 11th through the 14th, departing the 15th. My Grandfather Rahamin Shemaria was born in Rhodes September 15, 1897 and my Grandmother, Mathilda Rousso was born in Rhodes in 1901.

My husband Bob Franco and I will be visiting on June 19,2025 - a stop on our cruise. His father Abraham (Albert) was born in Rhodes and emigrated to NYC in 1921 and his mother (Sara Berro) was born in NYC in 1916, a few years after her family emigrated from Rhodes. This will be our second visit, his third (the first was with his parents). During our last visit the summer 2013, joined by our adult sons, was a weeklong visit. On that trip we found and visited graves of Bob's maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents - so meaningful! (Photo of our sons at grave of Shaoul Halfon.) We'd love a recommendation for someone to give us a walking tour of the Juderia.
We will be in Rhodes June 19-22 2025. My father was Avzaradel. Anyone know of Avzaradel’s living in Rhodes still?
