On June 24th, 65 Beth El members - accompanied by Rabbi Steve Schwartz, Cantor Thom King, and Dr. Eyal Bor - will arrive in Warsaw, Poland to begin the congregation's trip through Eastern Europe. While the synagogue has led numerous trips to Israel, this is only the second time in 20 years that Beth El has traveled to Europe.
Throughout their 10-day journey, the group will visit Warsaw, Kraków, Prague, and Berlin, following an itinerary that will bring them face to face with the sometimes glorious and often harrowing history of the Jewish people in Poland, Germany, and Czechia.
