Welcome to the virtual tour of Belarus, the Eastern European country bordering Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, and Russia.
Originally part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, then Russia, Austria and Soviet Union, it continued being "Lita" in the Jewish reality.
Prior to the World War I Belarus was home to nearly 1.000.000 Jews.
The land of Synagogues, the land of Shtetls, the Yiddishland - it's all about Belarus.
The land of great Rabbis, incredible Jewish artists, Jewish scholars, social and political leaders and hundreds of thousands poor Jews surviving even in the most difficult conditions.
This two-part tour is dedicated to the life of our ancestors in Belarus for over 400 years - food, houses, customs, family life, education, jobs, political and religious conflicts and much more....
