04 Jewish Cultural Eventsrecognizing the past through the present It seems that the world of the Jews of Poland entirely disappeared during World War II. Fortunately, this is not the whole truth... Some Jews remained in Poland, some returned after many years, others began to visit our country in search of their roots. All of them are here to honor and to spread out the Jewish culture and Jewish heritage of Poland. Thanks to them and the Poles who began to take an interest in their common past, there are a lot of Jewish cultural events nowadays. You can find here a rich diversity of them - from important international festivals and scientific conferences to religious ceremonies, meetings and "sabat" celebration every Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. If you are interested in participation in any of Jewish religious or cultural events while in Poland, please contact us! We would be pleased to organize for you any Jewish concert, dinner or meeting. Just let us know what are your expectations and we will try to do our best to satisfy you!

RecommendationsMy name is Monte and, along with my wife Mickey, we led a photography workshop trip to Poland between June 23 and July 8, 2005. The purpose of this letter is to tell you how totally pleased we were with our guide, Monika Prylinska. In fact, I've been conducting photography workshops throughout the world for 15 years and I would rank Monika as the best guide I have ever had. She was very personable, very knowledgeable and went out of her way to satisfy our entire group. Monika was most helpful in making our trip to Poland (first visit for any of us) enjoyable and memorable. Poland is a very beautiful country and we all took home a very favorable impression, thanks in great part to Monika. On a return visit, I would definitely request her as a guide. Sincerely, |
