On the eve of World War Two, 10% of the Polish population, and 30% of the city of Warsaw were Jewish. Poland had been a center of Jewish life for centuries, and Jews were an integral part of Polish society.   Five years later, this centuries old community lay in ruins and with it, European Jewry that had been burnt in the fires of the factories of death that the Nazis built on Polish soil.

1. Are the meals on your tours strictly Kosher?

    

   Your tour package includes breakfast at your hotel, while you are responsible for arranging your lunch and dinner.
   We generally eat at the regular hotel buffet which is not Kosher but does include vegetarian and Kosher options. If you need strictly Kosher meals, please talk to us and we will arrange them.  We usually break for lunch and dinner and stay in areas with multiple options that are strictly Kosher. We can also pre-arrange to provide you with pre-arranged Kosher lunches and dinners, although extra costs will apply.
   

    

    

2. I keep Shabbat – are your tours Shabbat-friendly?
   
   Our tours are Shabbat-friendly in that no included activity requires you to do anything prohibited on Shabbat – our tours on Saturday are all walking tours.  We do include walking tours on Saturday mornings. If you wish to attend a synagogue service, you may miss a tour, however, all participants are welcome to either attend or skip this tour.  

3. Will I have time to explore independently?
