The Classic Poland Journey sheds light on the Jewish life that was Poland for a thousand years. During the seminar we will confront the richness of Jewish Poland and its development over time. We will note the many streams and sectors of communities that lived side by side and made up the Jewish mosaic - from the varied youth movements to the world of Hassidut and their innovative methods of worshiping G-D. We will engage the Jewish Spirit in the different cities and townships, and pay homage at the gravesites of both Hassidim and Mitnagdim. A significant chapter of the journey will be dedicated to visiting the Ghettos and concentration camps of Poland with accent on the aspects of heroism and personal sacrifice during those horrific times.
