THE JEWISH HERITAGE TOUR
From a once thriving medieval community to one of the smallest communities in Europe today, Slovenia's Jewish community has survived cruel expulsions and suffered the ravages of 20th century war, only to find itself eroding even further during subsequent years of socialist rule.
The Jewish Heritage Tour visits various locations within Ljubljana's small Jewish Quarter and other locations related to Jewish life, but mostly, we explore Slovenia's Jewish history, culture and heritage, and discuss today's community and the problems it faces.
