Summer is the time for travel -- and also for clean-up and restoration work on Jewish heritage sites. We kicked off the travel season with a Have Your Say personal essay by author Ben G. Frank, who recently published a fourth edition of his Travel Guide to Jewish Europe.
JHE Coordinator Ruth Ellen Gruber took a road trip to more than 30 Jewish heritage sites in Czech Republic and Poland and ran posts and images from her trip. See some of her posts HERE and HERE and HERE. More are to come! We also highlighted several major exhibitions that are running this summer -- and many more events appear on our Calendar.
