The beautiful Baltic city of Vilnius (Vilna), the modern capital of Lithuania<\/a>, was once a world center of Jewish scholarship and Torah study. It was home to Rabbi Eliyahu Kramer the Vilna Gaon and also thrived as a center of secular scientific study and commerce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Napoleon passed through Vilnius in 1812, he described it as the Jerusalem of the North. <\/span>\u00a0Jewish tours of Vilnius <\/a><\/span>open up a wonderful lost world of Baltic Jewry. Travelers can explore the historic Jewish quarter with professional guides and enjoy privately conducted tours of the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum and other important <\/span>Jewish landmarks in Lithuania.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vilna was voted a European City of Culture and its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city has some of Europe\u2019s best hotels and gourmet kosher dining, offering an outstanding luxury travel experience. The Holocaust devastated Lithuanian Jewry, and the subsequent Russian occupation was a difficult and challenging time, but modern Lithuania is committed to the <\/span>preservation of Jewish cultural sites<\/span> and <\/span>Vilnius\u2019 Jewish heritage<\/span> in particular.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vilnius is an amazing destination for US Jews whose ancestors came from Lithuania, and for anybody who wants to learn more about the Vilna Gaon and the extraordinary Jewish community that he was part of.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The Rich Jewish History of Vilnius<\/span><\/h2>\n

The history of Vilnius can be traced back to 1323. The earliest record of a Jewish presence in Lithuania is dated to 1388 and it\u2019s likely that adventurous Jewish merchants and traders established small Jewish communities long before that date. Jews arrived in Vilnius in the mid 1500s and the city rapidly began to emerge as a hub for Jewish intellectual and cultural life. Jewish culture found its highest expression with the Vilna Gaon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jewish heritage tours<\/a> of Vilnius<\/span> take travelers back to the 18th century – a period when there were a quarter of a million Jews in Lithuania – and explore the places where the Gaon developed the analytical “Lithuanian-style” of study and his disciple Rabbi Volozhin created the yeshiva movement. Although Vilnius was home to the Misnagdim, Lithuania also produced many prominent Hasidim. A customized tour of <\/span>Jewish landmarks in Lithuania <\/span>can include visits to sites with an historical Hasidic connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Explore<\/p>\n

Explore the Vilnius Jewish Quarter with a Private Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n

The old Jewish Quarter of Vilnius was officially established in the 1630s and local Jews built a synagogue that would eventually become the Great Vilnius synagogue. Vilnius Jews were not confined to the Jewish Quarter and generally had the freedom of the city, but many preferred the sense of security and community that they found in the Quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three modern streets (Jewish, Glassmakers and M. Antokolskio) that give an atmospheric glimpse of how the entire old Quarter once looked.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Quarter was the heart of Jewish life in Vilnius – and perhaps home to your own ancestors. A walking tour of the city will take you to the mausoleum of Vilna Gaon in the Jewish cemetery, and the Vilna Gaon State Jewish Museum, the U\u017eupis and Taharat ha\u2013Kodesh synagogues, and a historical Jewish printing house. The Great Synagogue of Vilna was savagely vandalized by the Nazis and then entirely demolished by the Soviet occupiers. Following Lithuanian independence, archeological excavations exposed the buried remnants of the structure, including its ornate floors and pillars.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Holocaust was utterly devastating for Lithuanian Jewry. Up to 95% of the Jewish community were murdered by the Nazis. There is no exact figure, but the death toll is estimated at up to 195,000 people. A particularly poignant memorial park is located in the small village of Paneriai just outside Vilnius. It commemorates a forest massacre of Jews and other enemies of the Nazi state. The simple stone monuments stand among the trees and bear witness for the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jewish cultural preservation <\/span>efforts are successfully protecting what remains of the Jewish character of the Quarter and over 500 years of Jewish history. The presence of American visitors helps to ensure that monuments to the Jerusalem of the North, and the Lithuanian Jews who created its extraordinary culture, continue to endure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Luxury<\/p>\n

Luxury Travel Experiences in Vilnius<\/span><\/h2>\n

A generation after the collapse of communism, Vilnius is a prosperous modern city and a European commercial and cultural center. The city has some outstanding hotels and gourmet restaurants and happily caters to Jewish travelers who require kosher dining and Shabbat compliant amenities. Gil Travel can coordinate with you to ensure that your entire itinerary and travel arrangements meet your personal requirements for kashrut and religious observance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gil Travel will also organize customized tours of <\/span>\u00a0Jewish cultural heritage sites and landmarks in Lithuania <\/span>that are adapted to your level of interest. If you are a history buff, you can really explore <\/span>\u00a0Vilnius\u2019 Jewish heritage <\/span>with lectures, detailed guided tours of museums and sites, and even meetings with local historians and archivists. If your ancestors came from Lithuania, Gil Travel may be able to connect you to researchers who can discover more about your family history and even identify sites with a family connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to travel to Lithuania as a family, there are plenty of activities on offer to satisfy every age group. Vilnius is a modern (and generally safe) city where kids will find plenty of outlets for their energies. If the youngsters need a break from the city’s dozens of museums, galleries and craft centers, try a walking tour of the fascinating city markets, a trip to the Zoo Park or a boat tour down the River Neris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Plan<\/p>\n

Plan Your Jewish Heritage Tour to Vilnius<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lithuania is a small country (just a little bigger than West Virginia) and Vilnius is only an hour\u2019s flight from Warsaw. Many American Jews like to plan a Gil Travel <\/span>Jewish heritage tour<\/span><\/a> that includes both Poland and Lithuania, or even Latvia and Estonia too. It\u2019s worth bearing in mind that the Baltic region does get cold during the winter months. That\u2019s great if you want to enjoy a snowy fairytale experience in Vilnius\u2019 old city from the comfort of a luxury boutique hotel, but most Americans prefer to travel during the summer months. Spring and autumn can also be a good time to visit (especially if you want to dodge the main tourist season) but autumn can be a bit rainy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s definitely worth doing some personal research or reading about the Vilna Gaon and the amazing culture of the Jerusalem of the North before you fly. You\u2019ll get a lot more out of your visit if you have a basic grounding in the religious and social context of the historical period that produced the Gaon and other Jewish luminaries. The Gaon made a fundamental contribution to modern Jewish culture with his incisive and analytical approach to the Torah and Talmud, and also the Kabbalah. The Gaon also placed a high value on the sciences and other secular studies, further shaping modern Jewish outlook. Customized <\/span>Jewish tours of Vilnius <\/span>can really bring the past to life and it\u2019s always worth arriving with some background knowledge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An organized trip to the Jerusalem of the North is a memorable experience. If your ancestors came from Vilnius (or other Jewish communities in Lithuania) it can be a profoundly moving experience to retrace their steps and visit their synagogues. Your visit is also a special opportunity to support <\/span>Jewish cultural preservation<\/span> initiatives in Lithuania and to connect with the small Jewish community in Vilnius. Gil Travel can arrange meetings or social activities with Lithuanian Jews as well as the chance to sample amazing Lithuanian kosher food (we especially recommend the herring).<\/span><\/p>\n
