RE:Re: Crakow this summer.

I think that you will find just 1 functioning synagogue.I was there this past 
summer.It is a little orthodox synagogue which has regular services both Friday 
evening and Shabbat morning.It would be helpful if you know some Yiddish or 
Polish.THere is also a handsome reform synagogue which can be visited,but no 
services are held there.
