Yiddishkayt Expedition
Records show the presence of Jews in Central Europe under the reign of Emperor Constantine in 321 and in the centuries that followed, Ashkenazic Jewry spread over much of Europe. Jews are often imagined as historically “a people without a land.” Although until very recently Jews had limited political freedoms in the places in which they lived, they called the landscapes of Central and Eastern Europe home for centuries.
While Europe was many times a difficult and hostile place for Jews, for a millennium it was more often their beloved home: the birthplace of their language, traditions, and customs and the source of Jewish creativity and culture. Join us as we will travel to the Heartland of Jewish Culture through the homeland of the Litvaks — the historical Grand Duchy of Lithuania — including Poland, Belarus (White Russia) and Lithuania. The Heartland of Culture Expedition will be traveling to Europe October 2018.
Sephardic Balkans
We offer intellectually invigorating Jewish heritage tours across the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Our primary focus is on the Sephardic and Ashkenazi communities of the region. In lands of the former Ottoman Empire — Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Thessaloniki (Greece), Sarajevo (Bosnia), and Belgrade (Serbia) — we encounter a strong Sephardic presence. In parts of northern Serbia, Romania, and Croatia, on the other hand, we speak about the predominantly Ashkenazi make-up of Jewish life.
Jewish Heritage River Cruises
We’re proud to offer a collection of itineraries that enable you to explore Jewish history and culture with our Jewish Heritage Program, the only one of its kind on the rivers. Our in-depth itineraries dive into Central Europe’s enduring Jewish legacy with visits to museums, memorials, synagogues and more.
The 2,000-year-old history of the Jewish people in Europe is an inspiring one, rife with tragedy and discrimination, as well as the endurance and profound sense of community that survived it all.
Uniworld’s Jewish Heritage cruises pay homage to this legacy. Our distinctive program showcases Jewish communities, highlighting positive developments and locals who are helping Jewish culture grow and thrive in the modern day.
While visits to Holocaust memorials, Jewish museums, and WWII sites are an important part of this journey, our aim is to tell the whole story—the story of a culture that flourished for centuries despite the odds.
We’ve designed our Jewish Heritage theme cruises to serve as cross-cultural “bridges of understanding,” both for those looking to explore their roots and anyone who would enjoy an immersive journey through an integral aspect of European history.
Nora Kaplan Sephardic Tours
Nora Kaplan Learn-in-trips started in 2009 as a family business in Salamanca, Spain, where after moving from South America, Nora with her husband Victor Mizrahi and son Sebastian founded a company specializing in language studies and cultural trips abroad. At the beginning of the pandemic, when physical traveling became almost impossible, Sebastian co-founded Qesher with Dora Koranyi, an initiative that features weekly virtual tours about the different Jewish communities from around the world.
It was during this period that a close collaboration started between Qesher and Moises Hassán-Amselém, scholar and owner of Jewish Spain Tour, a travel agency with more than 15 years of experience in the field. Moises has been one of Qesher’s main speakers on the subject of Sephardic Jewry. Learn-in-trips is proud to present the result of its cooperation with Qesher and Jewish Spain Tour: an all-inclusive journey through the main highlights of the Golden Age of Spanish Jewry.
Yivo Study Tours
YIVO is dedicated to fostering knowledge of the ongoing story of Jewish life, with a focus on the history and culture of East European Jewry—the ancestry of a significant proportion of Jews in the world today. This story has played an important role in shaping the times we live in.
It’s a story that’s still unfolding and still being told.
Scholars continue to uncover new layers of the story in our archives and library, one of the world’s most important resources on Jewish life and history in Europe; Yiddish language, literature, and folklore; the Holocaust; and the American Jewish immigrant experience. We bring you our discoveries, insights, and treasures from our collections through our programs, courses, exhibitions, award-winning publications, and websites.
