About this event
Join us for a dynamic virtual presentation of the Jewish heritage tours offered by Sephardic Balkans LLC. All trips are led by Dr. Joseph Benatov of the University of Pennsylvania, who will take you on a visual tour of the Jewish Balkans. We will focus in detail on the following three itineraries:
Jewish Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Trieste (Italy)
Jewish Bulgaria, North Macedonia, and Greece
Jewish Romania, Serbia, and Szeged (Hungary)
Joseph will be available to answer any logistical questions, and if any of the tours look exciting to you, you can reserve a spot for summer 2022.
