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.

I hopefully will be in Cracow from June, 25 till July 5 (depends on the
remaining work for the Viennese Festival)

kind regards
Ruth

P.S. the Festival will take place mainly in the Ancient Yewish District
"Kazimierz" - there are 2 (perhaps in the meantime 3) functioning Shulen in
this area
