About this talk

This pre-recorded tour, with the guide's live narrative, takes you through the events of the annual Krakow Jewish Culture Festival. One of the oldest and largest events in the world, presenting both traditional and modern Jewish culture, the festival is held in Kazimierz, Krakow's former Jewish quarter for the 33rd time this year.

The festival brings together artists of Jewish culture from all over the world – music bands, soloists, choirs, jazz musicians, and dance teachers. Its events educate people about Jewish culture, history, and faith, which flourished in Poland before the Holocaust and familiarize them with modern Jewish culture that flourishes in the US and Israel. The program includes Jewish art exhibitions, lectures, and visits to synagogues and cemeteries. Watch the tour to get a feel for this unique festival that celebrates Jewish culture.

After the virtual visit to the Krakow Jewish Culture Festival, Olga will share about her tailor-made in-person Jewish Heritage tours of Krakow, Berlin, Nuremberg and Regensburg, and soon further exciting destinations will be added to their travel list in Poland and Germany.
