Experience the soul of southern Italy as you journey through the sun-drenched coastlines and ancient villages of Sicily and Calabria — from the baroque beauty of Palermo to the rugged charm of Reggio and the hilltop towns in between. With every step, uncover layers of history shaped by Greeks, Arabs, Jews, and Normans, and delight in bold regional flavors, vibrant local culture, and traditions passed down through generations.
As the journey unfolds, discover 2,000-year-old mikvahs, a rare 700-year-old Aron Kodesh, breathtaking landscapes, evocative ruins, exquisite art, and the rich culinary heritage of the region. Meet thoughtful local voices, explore stories that span millennia, and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow travelers. Dive deep into the Jewish legacy of the south, where hidden symbols and sacred sites offer moving insight into a once-flourishing world. A visit to an enduring Jewish community in a tiny Calabrian hilltop village and a Holocaust-era concentration camp that defied the horrors of its time transform this trip into a deeply resonant and unforgettable Jewish experience.
