Great programs for young professionals!

Almost my entire circle of friends in DC I met at Mesorah.

Friday evening dinners are really warm and welcoming.

I have gained much new wisdom to accompany me on my next leg of my personal journey …

I tried Mesorah once  and I was hooked. It has given me an accessible and intimate Jewish community and family – without it I’d be lost.

Cafe Nite is my ideal Monday night activity because it sets my week off on right foot – with food for my stomach AND my soul! It’s my go-to source for Torah learning in DC.

I love the sense of community that I feel here …

Great events and great people!

Cafenite is a fantastic way to start the week…fun and fulfilling.

Mesorah combines community, scholarship, and tradition for a truly fulfilling experience. Its Monday CafeNite is the perfect time to reflect on the previous week, and prepare for the week ahead.

I found Mesorah after wanting to attend more Jewish events in the community and enjoy every event; the Shabbat dinners are warm and the classes are thought provoking.

The classes are eye opening and so useful, too!

Mesorah is a community where you’re challenged to grow and think at a higher level. You can explore your Jewish identity and better understand your purpose.

Only 3 Rooms Left For Project Mesorah’s 2023 Mission to Poland With Rabbi Paysach Krohn

• June 27, 2023

Only 3 Rooms Left For Project Mesorah 2023 Mission to Poland With Rabbi Paysach Krohn.

Ever since it was announced over a month ago, the response to Project Mesorah’s 2023 Mission Trip to Poland with Rabbi Paysach Krohn has been overwhelming. Project Mesorah’s Mission trip is an historic, once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the powerful impact of pre-war Poland; an experience sure to change our entire outlook on the Holocaust and on life. The Mission Trip will take place from July 2nd till July 6th  – ( Sunday night to Thursday morning ). Project Mesorah has put together a memorable trip that will include visits to such hallowed ground as Lublin , Auschwitz , old Krakow and more. Additionally, they will visit the resting places of such Torah leaders as the Noam Elimelech , the Sfas Emes , Reb Chaim of Brisk and many others.

Besides for the spiritually uplifting aspect of the trip, Project Mesorah’s trips are legendary for the way the guest is treated. From high ranking, top of the line hotels to catered meals, the Project Mesorah trip will surely be a memorable milestone in your lifetime, if you are fortunate to attend.

Leading the trip will be the “maggid of our generation” Rabbi Paysach Krohn. Rabbi Krohn is an expert on the history of the war and his inimitable way of interweaving history and story leaves the attendees with a lifetime of inspiration and chizzuk. Due to the overwhelming response, Project Mesorah has arranged for three more rooms on the 2023 Mission Trip to Poland.

King David forever transformed this city and the world by naming it the capitol of the Jewish People over 3,000 years ago. Trace his journey, and stand where much of the bible was composed. Cool your feet in a water tunnel mentioned by the prophets, and stand over a pool where all of Israel would gather.

Beyond the Walls: Foundations of the New City

•         Old Train Station – Modern transport before the era of planes and automobiles, did rail transport to Jerusalem change the face of the city? Why did it take so long for the Ottomans to build a rail to Jerusalem?

•         Mt. Zion Cable Car – What cable car? I don’t see any cable car. Jerusalem divided: How did they get supplies over to the isolated Israeli Army post on Mt. Zion between 1948-1967? How was it that the Jordanians didn’t see it?
•         Tanach Hill – Nature in the middle of the city absolutely amazing in the spring. But why is it called Tanach Hill? Why was it worthy of preservation?

•         Shaarei Chesed – Visit the enchanting neighborhood that was the backdrop to so many of those Yerushalmi stories you know.

The walking tour is approximately 2.5 hours, starting at the Mahane Yehuda Light Rail Station, and ending in Shaarei Chesed.

Yishuv HaYashan vs. Modernity

•         Meah Sharim – One of Jerusalem’s most iconic religious neighborhoods.

•         Underground Prisoners’ Museum – Site of the Jerusalem Prison during the Mandate period, and place where Rabbi Aryeh Levin endeared himself to the Nation of Israel.

In just three days, this Moscow itinerary takes in all the most iconic sights of this attraction-packed destination. After two and half days getting acquainted with the city, we’ve set time aside for you to explore Moscow your way and discover your own favourite hang-outs in a city overflowing with hidden treasures

3-Day Moscow Tour Highlights:

• Panoramic Tour of Moscow: See Moscow beyond the postcard images on a private excursion by car through the city streets including a drive along the banks of the Moskva River. Visit the famous Bolshoi Theatre, pass by Gorky Park and the Novodevichy Convent, and admire the city from on high at the Sparrow Hill observation platform.

• Armory Chamber tour: Explore the endless treasures of this unique museum, displaying the wealth accumulated by Russian rulers from the 12th century until the October Revolution of 1917. Walking through the exhibition halls is a journey through the centuries.
• Moscow Metro Tour : Go deep underground on a subway tour of the famous Moscow metro. The world’s deepest metro system is renowned for its palatial, art-adorned stations, complete with marble columns and chandeliers.

On your first day, you’ll be treated to a panoramic, drive-by tour of Moscow to get a feel for the immense scale of one of the world’s most rapidly developing urban centres. The city’s history unfolds in real-time as you pass lavish imperial mansions, solemn Soviet structures and luxurious modern shopping centres.

Day two kicks off exploring Moscow’s historic centre on foot, followed by a tour of the Kremlin, the seat of Russian power and political intrigue for centuries. Stand in the Red Square, surrounded by the stunning architecture as you hear stories of the people and events behind many of Moscow’s most iconic landmarks.

On your final day, we’ll head beneath the city for a tour of the Moscow Metro and its famously ornate underground stations. Art lovers should hit up one of Moscow’s many world-class galleries such as the Tretyakov State Gallery, the Pushkin Museum or Garage, Moscow’s cutting-edge contemporary art museum. History fans can follow a Soviet trail through the city including Stalin’s Bunker, while those seeking a more indulgent experience can browse trendy neighbourhoods like Kitay Gorod or shop for everything from fashion to kitsch souvenirs at the enchanting Izmaylovo Flea Market. Foodies can head to one of the countless speciality stores sampling vodka, caviar and chocolate.

If you only have a few days to spend in Moscow, this tour will ensure you make the most of your time in the city. Let the experts navigate you through this complex and occasionally overwhelming capital, giving you plenty of time to soak up the city’s most unmissable attractions.

Day 1 Panoramic city tour

Welcome to the glorious capital of Russia, Moscow! You’ll be met by your driver at the airport and taken to your centrally located hotel.

After check-in and rest, meet your private guide at the hotel lobby for a comprehensive tour of Moscow by car. Visit the starkly contrasting Theatre Square to see the stunning Bolshoi Theatre, pass Tverskaya Street, the city’s main boulevard and home to the landmark Yeleseyevskiy Grocery Store.

You’ll enjoy a panoramic drive along the Moskva River, where a huge, controversial state of Peter the Great was erected. Pass by the legendary Gorky Park and the White House before a stop at the architecturally stunning Novodevichy Convent, and the observation platform at Sparrow Hills, for a bird’s eye view over this staggering megalopolis.

Day 2 Red Square and Kremlin

After breakfast at the hotel, your guide will take you on a walking tour of the historical city centre. Stroll through the Red Square, the hub of cultural life in Moscow, with its elaborate ‘stone flower’ fountain and fantasy-like St Basil’s Cathedral – a postcard-perfect symbol of the nation. Admire the grandiose façade of GUM, the city’s most luxurious shopping centre, and visit Alexander’s Garden, with its eternal flame and the chance to watch a changing of the guards.

Break for lunch before continuing on a tour of the Kremlin and Armoury Chamber, famous of its collection of tsarist fashion, with regalia such as jewel-encrusted crowns, orbs and sceptres as well as arms and armour, exotic gifts from the leaders of faraway lands, and an illustrious case of Imperial Faberge eggs.

As an option* spend an evening on a sumptuous dinner cruise, taking in the stunning sights and city lights of this mesmerising metropolis by night.

Day 3 Metro and Arbat Street

Start a day with a tour of Metro, stopping on the way to marvel at some of the most elaborately decorated stations of the world-famous Moscow subway system. Take a stroll along Old Arbat street - the most famous street in Moscow. Through the centuries Arbat used to be one of the most bohemian places in Moscow. Today Arbat is a promenade full of small cozy cafes and street life.

The afternoon is free for you to either enjoy the rest of the day on your own or choose among optional excursions to explore more of Moscow. Visit the Tretyakov Gallery or Pushkin State Museum to admire Russian art. Join locals for a stroll at the Gorky or VDNH park.

The R&K Guide To Moscow

The World Cup is upon us, but you could argue that it’s already a relic from another era, a time when Putin was looking for peaceable engagement with the West, before he annexed Crimea and unleashed his trolls on the world. But if ordinary Russians are supposed to play the part of pariah, they haven’t been told. It has been a long time since Moscow was this pleasant to visit. The city center is safe, sanitized, ready for your visit. Yes, the calm is a sign of an increasingly efficient autocracy. But we’ve known Moscow through many iterations, and for the casual visitor, this is one of the best yet. (Visit our St. Petersburg guide here.)
