Benedictines invite Israelis in Poland

The Benedictine Abbey in Tyniec (Cracow – Poland) opens its doors for Hebrew-speaking visitors, creating the possibility to visit the place in Hebrew. Relations between Israel and Poland are extraordinary due to an important common heritage. Also today mutual exchange can be seen between the two nations. That is why we decided to invite Israelis, visiting Poland, to see Tyniec, the amazing place with a 1000-year tradition. Benedictine monasteries have always been places of meeting. This idea inspires us and refering to it we would be glad to host Hebrew-speaking visitors who want to see something beyond the regular itinerary. The Abbey, situated on a hill, on the right bank of the river, is one of the most picturesque places in Poland. Believing in the strength of hospitality, we are determined to seek ways of dialogue and respect. Here you can find more information about our initiative:
