This is not only a trip of luxury but also of meditation and getting closer to your faith.

Sometimes we go on Jewish vacations to experience history, from touring places of Jewish heritage to visiting Holocaust museums. We sometimes also attend World War 2 commemorations, Glatt kosher holiday cruises, and even just remember Jewish struggles through audio-visual media like motion pictures, internet videos, and serial documentaries. Although we cannot travel, for now, the pandemic crisis can not stop us from learning and honoring our Jewing forebearers during World War 2. Here are some of the best movies and series that you can watch this stay-at-home season: Schindler’s List This list would not be complete without this Oscar-winning classic. So revisiting this iconic film should be a part of your binge list. Directed by multi-hyphenated director Steve Spielberg, this epic motion picture follows the story of the heroic Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) who saved over 1000 Jews (mostly Polish) during the Second World War. Watching this movie with your family will definitely be a great teaching and learning opportunity. You can watch the film on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Vudu, AppleTV, and FandangoNow. The Resistance Banker (Bankier Van Het Verzet) Released in 2018, The Resistance Banker is the Netherlands’ entry during the 91st Academy Awards. The cinematic masterpiece shows the story of Gijsbert and Walraven van Hall, the brothers who helped finance the Dutch resistance during World War 2. (Fun fact: Walraven van Hall was posthumously recognized as Righteous Among The Nations at Yad Vashem in 1978. If you are interested in foreign language films, this will be a good treat to binge-watch. The Resistance Banker is directed by Joram Lursen and is available on Netflix.

As the world is slowly adjusting itself to the new normal, many vacation plans find themselves abandoned in the wake of quarantines and increasing health risks. However, while the current pandemic makes travel unsafe at the moment, one shouldn’t forget that it is only risky at the moment. Sooner or later, this virus will meet its match, and when that time happens, the world will be open for Jewish vacations and kosher cruises once more. But wait, where should I go once this miraculous day happens? Here are a few suggestions. Porto Porto is a wondrous port city in the Iberian Peninsula, at the mouth of the Douro River that winds through the bountiful Douro River Valley region of Portugal. Porto is also a city with a preserved Jewish Quarter, a testament to the contributions of the Sephardic Jews towards Portuguese prosperity, despite the unjust persecutions between the 15th and 19th centuries. Porto is also the site of the Kadoorie Mekor Haim Synagogue, the largest synagogue of the Iberian Peninsula. Amsterdam While Amsterdam is known for its secular vacation spots and activities, it is also a place of interest for those interested in travelling to places of Jewish history and heritage. When King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued a decree that forced the Jewish population of Spain to leave their country in 1492, many Jews were forced to flee to other countries, in hopes of finding a better life. Those who fled to the Netherlands, specifically Amsterdam, found themselves in a safer environment. Amsterdam was called “the Jerusalem of the West” in its time and became a place of prosperity for the Sephardic Jews and safety for the Ashkenazi Jews who would arrive later. The Jewish Historical Museum and the Amsterdam Museum are a few places to visit when going on Glatt Kosher Vacations through this great city. |
