The Baltics – Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia
Visit the once-great center of Jewish learning–Vilna. Once known as Jerusalem of the North, Vilna–today’s Vilnius–was home to the medieval Jewish sage known as the Vilna Gaon. Experience the vibrant pulse of Riga, capital of Latvia. With its clubs and Art Nouveau scene, and its enchanting, cobblestone Old Town, Riga is on Tripadvisor’s Top 10 Rising Destinations in the world. Then visit Tallin, capital of Estonia, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its preserved medieval streets and quant market square.
Tour the remnants of the Vilna and Kovno ghettos and visit the sites of Nazi atrocities. Your experience will be enriched by daily briefings with an Eastern European Jewish scholar and expert local guides. Dine with members of the resurgent Jewish communities and hear about current Jewish life.
