Half Day Tour Tracing the Jewish History of Lviv

We'll start our tour at the 'Space of Synagogues' memorial site in the center of Lviv, which powerfully commemorates the history of the Jews of Lviv, and see where mezuzahs were once fixed From here we'll walk to the former Krakow suburb of Lviv which, in bygone times, was the hub of Jewish life in the city. While exploring this area we'll see the site where the Reformed synagogue once stood, as well as the Great Suburban synagogue, both sadly gone today. However, we'll see the former Hasidic synagogue, which still stands and is now partly a cultural center After this, we'll visit the Holocaust memorial, the Museum of Terror, the house where Sholem Aleichem, the world-famous 'father of Yiddish literature' lived for 5 months, and walk down Słoneczna Street where, before the war, more than 40 synagogues were located Our tour will end at the Jewish Hospital and old Jewish cemetery. Sadly little remains of the cemetery, but it's an appropriate place to conclude our tour because it dates back to medieval time
