Striving to be active participants in the process of shaping both collective and individual Jewish identities, we offer our clients and partners a variety of programs and tours in Jewish Europe. These programs focus on examination and reflection of Jewish values, past, present and future.

Beginning a trip to Israel with days spent in Poland, Prague or any of our other European destinations is sure to add depth and meaning to an overall adventure through the Jewish pathways of ones identity…

These were made possible in part by a generous grant from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against German, Inc. Grant funds came from the reclaimed assets of German Jews who perished in the Holocaust, and are used to support programs that preserve the memory of the Jewish victims and educate future generations about the Shoah.

Berlin

Program Summary

Berlin is one of the most exciting places in Europe. No other city epitomizes the New Europe of the 21st century with visions of European unity, global culture and civilization as it  at the same time with its haunting ghosts of the painful 20th century. Needless to say, Jews and Jewish issues are, if not the heart, then very central to the history and the historical discourse contained in the city. Three days are hardly enough to do justice to everything there is to see and do. This program, designed for a Jewish audience, aims to deal with the most essential: To show the main tourist attractions, including the sites, architectural feats and artistic gems that abound in the city.
