Presenter: Avraham Groll

This session will explore patterns of Jewish migration to Poland between the 16th-18th centuries. We will discuss the "Golden Age of Polish Jewry," the reaction to Shabtai Tzvi, and how the Jewish experience in Poland helped set the stage, in part, for the eventual rise of the Hasidic movement. This presentation is designed for beginners and is not a workshop. Maps, pictures, and documents will be displayed. Handouts with further information and a bibliography will also be distributed.
