Special Zoom Event for Agnon House Travelers – Wednesday, June 10

In preparation for the upcoming Agnon House tour of Prague, Vienna and Budapest join us for a Zoom lecture overview with our friend, guide, and tecaher Dr. David I. Bernstein on the history of Jewish Prague — more than a millennium of Jewish life in “the crossroads of Europe.” We will survey the origins of Jewish life in the city, its Golden Age, confrontation with modernity, the impact of the Shoah, and the community’s limited revival after the fall of Communism.

This event is themed with our upcoming visit to Prague, but also open to all present and former Agnon House travelers.

Wednesday, June 10 at 7:00pm (Israel time) = Noon Eastern

Dr. David I. Bernstein, the Dean Emeritus of Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, previously served as the director of Midreshet Lindenbaum, and was the director of informal education at the Ramaz Upper School in New York, where he pioneered an integrated world and Jewish history curriculum. Over the last 30 years he has served as the historian-guide for countless groups on Jewish heritage tours throughout Europe, including Agnon House tours to Prague, Vienna & Budapest (2022), Germany (2023), Poland (2024), and our upcoming return to Prague.
