Virtual Tour on Jewish Vilna
While city is preparing for you to come,
I want to tell you a story of JEWISH VILNA online
Ask your friends, family or people from your Jewish community if they wanted to join you for this virtual experience on the worldwide famous VILNA JEWS.
How is the tour organized?
An event is created on the Zoom platform, to which all participants are invited. I am joining the event by phone and while walking around the Jewish quarter, I am broadcasting and telling the stories directly online.
