As difficult as it was to leave Eretz Yisrael during a war - this journey was particularly poignant - connecting us to hundreds of years of Jewish History, Jewish learning and study, and our proud Jewish Heritage - connecting us to the people - both unnamed and known whose burial places are both unnamed and known - who carried the ideas, values and scholarship forward.
Challenging us to examine who we are, our values, our spirit, our faith and what we stand for - as a group - and as individuals.
We hope that these photos and video convey the profundity and impact of this journey.
Singing in The Tykocin Shul
On the morning of 24 August 1941, the Germans announced that Jews in Tykocin should report the next day to the town square.
On 25 August the Jews were rounded up in the square by the Germans with help from Polish police. The Jewish community was marched to the pits in Łopuchowo forest, and murdered. Yehi zikram barukh.
