The Jerusalem Post

The Jewish guide to Europe

- Jerusalem Post Staff

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.
