This "immersive" exploration of Jewish Poland has been developed by JewishGen, Friends of Jewish Heritage in Poland, and The Matzevah Foundation. Based on feedback from the JewishGen Future Scholar Fellows who told us that we should offer a trip geared to "their parents," we are pleased to offer this program from Tuesday, July 11 through Thursday, July 20, 2023. The last few days of the trip involve cemetery work. The Matzevah Foundation has more than a decade of experience in coordinating volunteer projects in Poland. The tasks in the Jewish cemetery often consists of clearing of brush, grass, small trees, and other vegetation. Heavy lifting is often involved, though not required for all participants. Each participant is encouraged to work to their maximum personal capacity, but not to exceed that. Space is limited!
