Join Torah in Motion and Dr. Marc Shapiro for a unique and intellectually inspiring trip to Central Europe designed especially by Dr. Shapiro.  Visit Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava (Pressburg), Eisenstadt, Sopron and many other sites off the beaten track.

A central feature of the tour will be Dr. Shapiro's expert discussions of the many places we will visit, making the trip nothing less than a travelling classroom . In addition, we will be joined by expert local guides who will provide their own angle. Members of the Jewish communities we visit will also speak to us about life in their countries.

Before departure, Dr. Shapiro will send participants an educational packet that will be used on the trip
