INSIDERS POLAND
with Jewish Renewal in Poland leader, Rabbi Haim Beliak and
Professor of Religious Studies at UC Santa Barbara, Prof. Richard Hecht
"Our approach will be to note the diversity of viewpoints that made Polish Jewish life the source of modern Jewish life - from
Jewish socialist, to Yiddish culture, branches of Zionism, and various Hassidic communities. We will remind people that the
Progressive movements (today Reform and Conservative Judaisms) started in the Polish lands beginning in 1803. We will
note Jewish involvement in film, literature, and the arts from Artur Rubenstein to Julian Tuwim." - Rabbi Beliak
June 22 - July 8, 2016

SPAIN
with the Cantors Assembly 2016
Jewish History in Spain is filled with contradictions. There is tragedy here, but there are also traces of former glories during
the 1,000 years before the inquisition - these were large scale Jewish communities that prospered for long periods. We will
delve into the past, as well as reach out to the nascent Jewish communities of today to hear their struggles, and their
successes. With the Spanish government opening the door to citizenship for Jews with Spanish roots, and the opening of
new centers of Jewish culture, there has never been a better time to visit Spain!
July 3 - 14, 2016
