Betsalel Steinhart, Director of the Ramah Israel Institute, is a passionate Jewish educator and licensed tour guide with over 25 years of experience. He has guided hundreds of groups—including teens, adults, synagogues, and families—and has led dozens of meaningful journeys to Poland.
With a personal family connection to the Shoah, Betsalel brings a unique depth and passion to these journeys. Through education, reflection, song, prayer, and personal connection, he helps participants experience Poland not simply as tourists, but on a deeper spiritual and emotional level.
Betsalel looks forward to sharing this meaningful journey with you.
Our journey begins at the Okopowa Jewish Cemetery in Warsaw, one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. More than a place of remembrance, it offers a powerful introduction to the rich diversity of Jewish life before the Holocaust, reflecting the vibrant communities of religious and secular Jews, Zionists, Hasidim, intellectuals, and professionals who helped shape Jewish Warsaw. It also serves as a poignant reminder of those who were granted the dignity of burial, unlike the millions of Holocaust victims who were not.
We then visit Tykocin, a beautifully preserved Eastern European shtetl that represents the thousands of Jewish communities that once flourished across the region. Through its restored synagogue and historic streets, participants gain insight into traditional Jewish communal life before the Holocaust.
Just outside Tykocin, Lupochowa Forest commemorates one of the earliest stages of the Holocaust. In August 1941, approximately 1,500 Jews from Tykocin were murdered there by Nazi Einsatzgruppen in what became known as the "Holocaust by Bullets." Today, the peaceful forest and its mass graves stand as a solemn memorial, honoring the lives and legacy of the community that was lost.
