At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Chernivtsi was known as the "Jerusalem on the Prut"—a name deeply rooted in its history.

During this tour, we will explore the rich life of the city's Jewish community, its cultural traditions, rituals, and prominent figures. You will learn about:

• The famous 18th-century mystic and religious leader Jacob Frank

• The last mayor of Austrian Chernivtsi, Solomon von Wasselberger

• Renowned European poets Paul Celan and Rosa Ausländer

We will stroll through the narrow streets of the old Jewish quarters, admire one of the city's most beautiful buildings—the Jewish House, and uncover the history of Tempel, once one of Eastern Europe’s most magnificent synagogues.

Duration: 3 hours.
