This October, the Taube Center hosted a meaningful travel study program led by Rabbi Judith Schindler and Judy La Pietra, bringing a group from Charlotte, North Carolina, on a powerful journey through Poland.
Over ten days, participants walked in the footsteps of history — visiting Warsaw, Lublin, Tykocin, Majdanek, Kraków, and Auschwitz — exploring Jewish life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Along the way, they shared moments of reflection and renewal: a Shabbat dinner at JCC Krakow, a meeting with a Holocaust survivor, and deep conversations with Polish scholars and educators.
As Judy La Pietra shared, “Leading this journey through Poland allowed our community to learn, reflect, and bear witness together, transforming memory into action and deepening our dedication to Holocaust education.”
These shared experiences remind us that memory is not only about the past — it is a commitment to the future.
