Krakow's Kazimierz, today known as the former Jewish district, was founded by King Casimir the Great in the 14th century as an independent town.

When Jews were expelled from Krakow in the 15th century, a Jewish town emerged in Kazimierz around Szeroka Street, which developed dynamically.

A tour of this part of Krakow will introduce you to the specific atmosphere of Jewish synagogues, Jewish cultural customs, holidays, language, and kosher cuisine.

Walking the route of Jewish Kazimierz, you will see, among others:

• Szeroka Street - the former center of the Jewish town, where once there were as many as five synagogues. Here I encourage you to visit the Old Synagogue, currently a museum where you can learn about Jewish holidays and customs.

• Remuh Synagogue - the only active synagogue in Krakow that is accessible to tourists. Next to it stretches the old Jewish Cemetery, where I will explain, among other things, how Jews are buried and why there are so many small stones around the matzevot (tombstones).

• Józefa Street, where we will walk through a courtyard leading to Meisels Street, where one of the scenes from "Schindler's List" was filmed

• Isaac Jakubowicz Synagogue, in front of which a fish market once stretched. It is also a place where legends intertwine with the history of this largest Jewish temple in Krakow

• Tempel Synagogue, whose beautiful interiors closely resemble a Christian church.

• Additionally, along the way, we will also look at mezuzahs and the Yiddish language.
