Taube Jewish Heritage Tours is redefining the way people explore and experience Poland. We provide meaningful encounters with Poland’s rich, thousand-year Jewish history, embarking on journeys that can cover any or all parts of a diverse geography. Jews lived everywhere and left traces of their existence for us to discover and hold dear. On a Taube Jewish Heritage Tour, you will be come an explorer in a world that may seem both strange and familiar. Our multilingual experts provide access to a past that might be expressed in Polish, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian, or German, yet it has given us words, ideas, and foods that seem part of everyday life in New York, Toronto, Berlin, or Tel Aviv. We visit the heritage sites that illuminate how Poland became and remained the epicenter of Jewish life for centuries until the outbreak of WWII.

 

Each tour is different, shaped by the needs and interests of you, your family, your colleagues, or your classmates. Poland is surprisingly big, and Jews live in every part, from the Baltic ports in the north, to the urban hubs in the center, the ancient capital of Kraków, and the Tatra Mountains in the south. Based in Warsaw, we can accommodate groups of all sizes, types, and ages, whether educational and community tours, family genealogy excursions, or VIP delegations.
Let your curiosity get the better of you, and join us to experience Poland. On a Taube Jewish Heritage Tour you are not merely a passive observer, but rather, an active participant in memorable journeys into time and space.

Family Tours

Many Jewish heritage travelers journey to Poland to rediscover family roots. Our experts work closely with you to uncover and understand the clues of your family’s past, and then escort you to the locations in Poland and neighboring countries where your family’s stories unfolded. As poignant as it is to read your grandparents’ letters from the last century, it’s something else entirely to walk in the very places about which they wrote.

Student Tours

For students, faculty and researchers, there’s nothing like the opportunity to explore your academic field of interest at its source. 
We create thematic-based study tours for students and faculty that combine site visits, lectures, and workshops with educational and cultural activities.
For the last several years we’ve been cooperating with several Hillel and university campuses from North America and beyond.

Group Tours

Group travel and shared discovery is a powerful way to both strengthen community and carry Jewish heritage into the future. Taube Jewish Heritage Tours designs group-specific tours, providing expert scholars and guides, program facilitators, and opportunities for service, as well as access to leaders and officials; ties are built and reinforced not just among those on the trip, but also between the local community and those who have come to discover the cradle of European Jewish history.

Special Tours

Taube Jewish Heritage Tours is an official tour provider for the award-winning POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw as well as the annual Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow, the largest such festival in the world.
Walking Warsaw’s streets or smelling the sea air of Gdańsk on the Baltic coast, studying the architecture of Łódź or dancing in the market squares of Kraków, our travelers don’t just witness the sites from the sidelines, they actively engage in transformative journeys that continue long after they’ve returned home.
Books or documentaries can only bring you so far – nothing compares to actually being in Poland, where so much of our Ashkenazi heritage took root and developed centuries ago and continues to this day.
