ABOUT HERITAGE

Heritage Seminars is an educational organization that coordinates unique educational experiences and seminars 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 in Heritage programs strengthen their Jewish identity, awareness, and commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

Heritage Seminars serves the educational needs of High School students, University and Yeshiva students, as well as adults and adult organizations. Participants visit primary sites in Warsaw, Krakow, Lublin, Galicia as well as Treblinka, Majdanek, Belzec, Plaszow, Auschwitz and Birkenau. Programs originating from the USA are encouraged to add Israel to their seminar. Heritage is a program of the Israel Studies Institute and is accredited by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
