The Jewish guide to Europe
Ben Frank’s thoughtful and entertaining travelogues chronicling his journeys around the world and his insightful uncovering of European Jewish life are wellknown to readers of The Jerusalem Post.
Now, the newly expanded 4th edition of his travel bible – A Travel Guide to Jewish Europe – has been published. It leads both first-time and experienced trekkers to the hidden delights of local Jewish neighborhoods and historical sites of most of Europe’s greatest cities.
No kosher restaurant, restored synagogue or Jewish museum is left unexplored within the book’s 752 pages. In addition, Frank provides well-researched background on Jewish life in Europe, including the rise of antisemitism, populism and nationalism gripping many European nations.
Both practical, thought-provoking and rich in tantalizing anecdotes, A Travel Guide to Jewish Europe is an indispensable companion to any sojourner interested in focusing their direction on the lofty past, the decimation and the rebirth of European Jewry.
