Vilna, Jerusalem de Lita
Filed Under jewish Lithuania | Comment
Jewish Heritage sightseeing of the famous city of Vilnius that was once called Jerusalem of Lithuania.
It introduces a Jewish history in Vilnius. The tour takes to the streets of the former Ghetto area with its monuments to the victims of the Holocaust, the Jewish Cemetery with the mausoleum of the world renowned Gaon Rav Eliyahu and the tombs of the last Vilna rabbis alongside the victims of the ghetto. You will visit the medieval Jewish quarter with its streets and courts. The tour includes a visit to the Choral Synagogue, the only remaining synagogue that was left intact.
The most famous religious authority, who determined the religious and cultural singularity of the Lithuanian Jews, was a sage of the 18th century – the Vilna Gaon.
The name of Vilna Gaon Elijah ben Solomon Zalman, the greatest sage of the 18th century, the world-famous commentator of Torah and Talmud, made Vilnius famous as Lithuanian Jerusalem. His powerful intellect and erudition caused Vilnius to become a spiritual centre of Jews that was known all over the world.
In the beginning of the 20th century Jacob S. Reizin wrote: “After completing the Talmud, almost no expert of Jewish literature was better than or at least equal to Elijah of Vilnius.”

The sag in the aviation market and the sky-high fuel prices this year have raised clouds of worry in the sky above the Baltic region’s aviation enterprises.
This coming weekend Estonian Air, airBaltic and flyLAL will transfer to the less frequent winter flight schedules.
Estonian Air is cancelling flights to Paris, Rome, Hamburg, Stockholm and Barcelona during the winter season. However, press spokesperson Ilona Eskelinen says that the national aviation enterprises have enough room for operations on small markets as well.
“Companies base their business most of all on the needs of the local market and determine the number of direct flights to where the demand is greatest.”
