On the request of many we will organise a Hasidic journey in Eastern Europe again in 2019. This year we will follow the trail of Hasidic masters in Poland. We will stay in the places where they lived and visit the material remains that are left: old synagogues, cemetaries, shtetls (old Jewish villages and towns). We will walk in the woods where the Hasidic masters travelled. We will follow in their footsteps literally and figuratively. Except a physical journey through their towns and roads, this is also a spiritual journey. We will study their texts, meditate like they meditated, sing their nigunim (melodies). And we will meet representatives of contemporary Jewish life in this region, the living continuation of the old predecessors. On our program we find Warschaw, Piaseczno, Ger, Koziniece, Przysucha, Kazimiers Dolny, Lublin, Izbica, Lizhensk, Krakow.
Get acquainted with the masters:
Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Przysucha
Kalonymos K.Shapira, rebbe of Piasetzno and Warshaw
Rabbi Mordechai Leiner of Izbica
