JUkraine приглашает в учебно-экскурсионную поездку
Достопримечательности Черты Оседлости:
Штеттл. Холокост. Возрождение
Школа Гидов: "Интенсив Выходного Дня"
когда Вы решите записаться к нам в Школу,
мы попытаемся Вас отговорить
Мы сразу заявляем, что учиться будет непросто.
Занятия в нашей Школе – это не только регулярные встречи, но и часы самостоятельной работы с лекционными и дополнительными материалами, тщательное изучение которых потребует от Вас упорства и усидчивости. Ведь экскурсовод должен быть готов ответить на любой вопрос своей группы, а кто может предугадать, какую ассоциацию вызовет то или иное Ваше слово, та или иная достопримечательность на маршруте. Некоторые вопросы могут быть абсолютно «офф-топик», то есть не по теме экскурсии, и здесь Вам на помощь должен прийти весь багаж ранее накопленных знаний, и чем богаче он, тем быстрее пойдёт о Вас молва, как о «чудо-экскурсоводе», чей «телефончик» передают из рук в руки благодарные слушатели.
Мы со всей ответственностью заявляем: у нас Вы сможете получить прочный фундамент абсолютно необходимых знаний, но при этом большую часть информации Вам предстоит накапливать самостоятельно, работая над заданиями преподавателей, составляя маршруты и подбирая увлекательные факты из жизни интересных людей или о том или ином историческом периоде.
Нам будет бесконечно грустно расставаться с Вами на полпути, если Вы решите прекратить занятия из-за высокой занятости. Ещё печальнее будет, если Вы прослушаете весь курс, но не сможете сдать квалификационный экзамен из-за плохого знания материала.

Jewish Ukraine at a Glance
This 7 days package offers you the chance to explore some of the most important sights of Jewish Ukraine. Secular or religious, seeking for pleasure or for meaning, you'll find it all here:
- stroll the streets of ancient, ever-young Kiev, the city where “Torah and light emanate from”, visit Jewish Podol & Bessarabka, see notorious Baby Yar and elegant mansions of famous Jewish magnates and Maecenas, and more…;
- explore the Jewish Heritage of Belaya Tzerkov, a typical Jewish town in the Pale of Settlement. As you walk by its synagogues and market place, imaging yourself to be your great-grandparent, who once fled Russian Empire looking for the better life across the ocean;
- make a pilgrimage to Rabbi Nachman's graveside in Uman, read Tehillim and leave Tzeddakah (charity) for the sake of his blessing and protection;
- visit cosmoplitan "Black Sea Pearl" - Odessa, the city of Zhabotinsky and Pinsker, Arlozoroff and Dizengoff, Menachem-Mendl Ussishkin and Isaak Babel and have a chance to perceive why Jews used to say in Yiddish "Lebn vi Got in Odes" (to live like God in Odessa")...
The treasures of Jewish Ukraine are just around the corner... Welcome to JUkraine!
