October 6-18, 2010 Croatia sits at the crossroads of Europe, where East and West begin to blend. Jewish culture in the region represents another cross section with Jews from Sephardi and Askenazi origins having lived on the Dalmatian coast since Roman times, while Jewish communities in Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb can be traced to the 14th century.
Accompanied by Professor Jane Gerber and experienced guide Lucy Rapoport, the itinerary includes Sarajevo, Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and the spectacular Dalmatian Coast. Along the way, we will meet members of renewed Jewish communities; travel through the Croatian countryside; visit outstanding museums; view architecture unique to the area; learn the secrets of the famous Sarajevo Haggadah; and stay at some of the most charming hotels in Europe. Please join us on this unique, exotic adventure.
