2009 BENEFIT TOUR OF POLAND
This will be the fifth tour of Poland sponsored by the Polish Center. Those who have been with us on previous trips and are now planning to accompany us on this one will have seen most of the country. In planning our tours, we strive to include something out of the ordinary. Examples from past tours include medieval reenactments, ghosts, Christmas tree ornament production, and story telling. This year, after visiting Warsaw we look forward to visiting the Bialystok region, which was responsible for the second largest number of Polish emigrants to come to America at the beginning of the twentieth century. Since we always promise you that there will be something out of the ordinary for tourists to see, you will visit an ancient Polish Muslim community and eat lunch with a Polish Tartar family. You will attend a country fair in Kiermusy, visit a weaver?s workshop in Janów and pass through a number of small villages on your way to Lublin and Rzeszów. The tour will introduce you to Bochnia, a saltmine which is older than the famous Wieliczka mine. You will have ample time to enjoy Kraków, the most magnificent city in Poland and on returning north to Warsaw there will be a stop in Czêstochowa (Poland?s most holy shrine), £ód? (the "Hollywood" of Poland), and £owicz (the colorful folk capital of the country). We also hope to schedule a meeting with a master maker of the szopka krakowska (fascinating Krakow style Christmas creches—the Polish Center has 13 in its collection).
The tour will depart from NYC on July 30
and arrive home August 12.

A Performance of
THE JAR OF TEARS
a memorial from the Warsaw Ghetto
Recently Performed at Tê¿nia Marzeñ,
Poland?s International Storytelling Festival.
By
David Arfa
This performance is based on the life of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapiro, known as the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto. Rabbi Shapiro wrote with depth and unflinching honesty of his spiritual struggles and slowly developed a creative theology of weeping. Though Rabbi Shapiro did not survive the war, he buried his writings in a milk jug which was found in 1954. The performance shares a series of imagined letters, using Rabbi Shapiro?s own words, addressed to the Master of the World.
After the performance, David Arfa will share with the audience his thoughts about his experiences in Poland as a first-time visitor
Program oparty o zapiski rabina znalezione po wojnie w s³oiku na mleko
w ruinach warszawskiego getta
