Part 2: In the second part of this series, we continue our journey through the Silk Road and enter China from the Western edge. In this enormous country, we will travel from the Taklamakan Desert to the Tien Shan Mountains. We’ll learn the fate of thousands of Jews seeking shelter in Eastern China during the Holocaust on this excursion.

Join the BZD and photographer Jono David as we learn about the Jews of Africa. Since Abraham and his wanderings in Egypt, the Jewish people have had a presence in Africa, making some communities the oldest in the world. This interactive presentation delineates some of that history while taking viewers on a virtual journey through a photographic project that took Jono to 30 countries across the continent.

October 26th @ 11:00 AM EDT

Join the BZD as we explore St. Petersburg with our tour guide, Evgenia (Jane) Kempinski. She’ll enlighten us about the city’s fascinating Jewish history, which spans three centuries and has 342 bridges. Jews immigrated to the Imperial city after Russia annexed Eastern Poland in the late 18th century. Even though the Jews of St. Petersburg never experienced pogroms, their safety and culture were negatively affected by the restrictions of the Empire, the Bolsheviks, and the Soviets.
