Our visits commence with a whole day of studying the near 1000 year pre-war history of Polish Jewry. The tour encompasses the origins of the community, from the Statute of Kalisz to the the story of Rabbi Musa Isserles, the Schulchan Aruch and the Golden Age; from the partitions of Poland and the ever changing Imperial status of Galicia; from the wonderful mystic traditions of the Ba’al Shem Tov to the intellectual foundations of the Vila Gaon and the Yeshivas.
Our tour touches on it all.
