Ways to Enjoy Jewish History and Heritage While Indoors

Aside from delicious cuisine, some Glatt Kosher Tours give their tour guests a chance to explore Jewish heritage as they traverse through various beautiful locales around the world, from Spain to France, from the synagogues of Porto to the museums in Amsterdam.  

However, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, trips to explore Jewish heritage across the globe have been postponed, due to the risks involved in touring and traveling en masse. It’s been halfway through the year 2020, and many things have occurred since the advent of the virus. However, it still looks like kosher touring will have to wait a bit longer. 

In spite of this, you can still explore Jewish heritage from the safety of your own home. The internet provides virtual means for you to discover the history of your Jewish forebears. Here are a few online sources that you can explore.

This website is a wealth of preserved remnants of Jewish history in North Africa and the Middle East.
