Poland Executive Mission

Come and join the most powerful journey you may ever take. The Poland Executive Mission will carry you to the heart of the Jewish people by visiting the place of arguably our greatest turmoil: Poland. Experience the vibrancy of Jewish life as it once was, the magnitude of the loss, the struggles of life and death, and the seeds of rebirth. Understand the Holocaust in the most profound and memorable way possible- face to face. Visit the camps and cities, meet with survivors and community builders, probe the depths of your humanity and tap the very resource of your soul.

For the last two years, Meor Maimonides of Greater Philadelphia has revolutionized Jewish education on campus by bringing tomorrow’s Jewish leaders to Poland. What has turned out to be the single most powerful, defining experience for over seventy students so far is now being offered to friends, family and community alike. Over five days, you’ll travel from Krakow to Lublin, through Galicia and on to Warsaw. You will bring life back to shtetls and shuls, pay homage to great communities, visit Aushwitz/Birkenau, Belzec and Majdonek, and spend a heart-warming Shabbat with forty college students.

Led by Rabbi Shmuel Lynn in partnership with Hillel and complimented by world-class guides and educators, our trip will strive to engage Judaism at its core, wrestle with the struggles of our people, and engrave the lessons and impact of this journey upon our lives. Proceeds from this mission will directly support subsidies and scholarships for the very students who will be beginning their journey as you complete yours.
