Group trip to Lithuania and surrounding areas - 2007 #general
Howard Margol
I am organizing another group trip to Lithuania for June 2007. For several
years, I've said that "this will be my last trip." But each year, so many people have asked me to organize another trip that I extended the trip one more time. Another factor is, Peggy Freedman will be joining me in the planning and organization of the trip, which will be a big help.. This will be the 14th group trip I have organized and led to Lithuania. The June 2006 group trip was exceptional with 37 participants. If you have any thoughts about going to Lithuania, Latvia, Eastern Poland close to Lithuania, or Belarus now is the time to sign up. My previous trip participants can be contacted if references are desired. Included - visits to the various Archives, synagogues, ghettos, Holocaust sites, meetings with Jewish leaders, sight-seeing, guide/interpreters, and two days to visit and spend time in your shtetl, or shtetlach of interest. All meals are included (except for one dinner and two lunches), the finest hotels (new & modern), modern bus with onboard toilet, and much more. Peggy and I are very familiar with the Archives, the archivists, Lithuania and the main places of Jewish interest. I do not organize these group trips as a profit-making endeavor. Everything is done at cost but in a deluxe manner. My main object is to encourage Jews to go back to their roots, to encourage them to research their ancestors and to enable them to see the rebirth of Judaism taking place in Lithuania. *Important*: This trip is sponsored by the American Fund For Lithuanian-Latvian Jews, Inc. (a 501(c)(3) non-profit. If there is a profit from the trip, the entire profit will go to support the Jewish communityin Vilnius.
