Prague, Czech Republic


We have spent our first full day in Prague with Rabbi Hoffberg from New Jersey, currently with a very small conservative congregation in the Old Jewish Quarter here. We drove out to Terezin, about 30 minutes from the city. Terezin was a concentration camp, but not a death camp. It was a transit station to other concentration camps. It was very interesting, learning so much and amazed to see what works of art, musical compostitions, operas, plays, etc. that we generated at Terezin during the time of war and destruction. We joined the Rabbi for Kol Nidre tonight and plan to return in the morning. Wishing everyone a meaningful fast. Shanah Tovah.
