Heritage Seminars

High School Programs

Heritage coordinates specially designed seminars for juniors and seniors in USA high schools. A group of 30 from a school or any combination of 30 from 2 or more schools may coordinate a seminar at a time suitable for the school participants

Heritage High School Seminars are unique educational experiences which study Jewish ancestral roots, research the sources of Jewish life in Eastern Europe and identify with our heritage. Through extensive visits to the destroyed centers of Jewish culture and scholarship and a course of creative academic study that takes place throughout the seminar, participants strengthen their Jewish identity, awareness, and commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel. Students spend 1 week in Poland and 1 week in Israel in a custom designed program coordinated by the Israel Studies Institute.

Heritage was conceived as a seminar with special emphasis on the richness of the cultural contributions of Eastern European Jewry before the war and their demise during the Holocaust. Heritage is not simply a "concentration camp" tour- although extensive study time takes place at Treblinka, Belzec, Majdanek, Plaszow, Auschwitz and Birkenau. Full study days are spent in Warsaw, Cracow, Lublin the "shetlach" of Galicia. Evening programs and analysis takes place day. column
