Jewish Travel in Europe
ABOVE: Ghetto Nuovo, Venice. (See
my Venice for Visitors
article
on the Venetian Ghetto.)
A while ago, a reader complained about the fact that
we had
several pages devoted to Jewish travel in Europe. He found the idea
"offensive," apparently because he thought I was giving special
treatment to Jews. We calmly pointed out two reasons why the pages were needed:
-
First, because Jews who observe dietary laws are understandably
concerned about they might find a kosher restaurant in London, Paris, or Berlin,
and...
-
Second, because it can be hard for Jewish travelers of European
descent to find more than passing references to their own heritage in
guidebooks, which (not surprisingly) focus on Christian history, art, and
culture.
In the following pages, Jewish travelers will find practical
resources (e.g., lists of kosher restaurants) and information on Jewish
communities--both past and present--in Western Europe..
