Friday, Elul 27, 5779. September 27, 2019. Shalom! World. Gdansk- Poland. Gdansk is a beautiful city located on the Baltic Sea. It is often overlooked by many travelers, in favor of more popular spots like Warszawa, Krakow, and Wroclaw. However, this city is well worth the journey north.   On the fastest of  itineraries, Gdansk can be zipped through in one day. However if you want the best experience, plan on spending at least two to three days. This gives you enough time to explore the old city, visit two of the best museums in Poland, and eat your heart out at some amazing restaurants. You can also take several day trips, if you have more time. Get your Baltic beach time in at Sopot and Gydnia and visit Malbork, the largest fortress in the world.

Wednesday, Elul 25, 5779. September 25, 2019. Shalom! World. Zug, Switzerland. Zug is the capital and biggest town of the canton of Zug in Switzerland. Its name originates from the fishing vocabulary; in the Middle Ages it referred to the right to pull up fishing nets and hence to the right fish. Zug is a wonderful opportunity to spend a day, just 25 minutes by train from Zürich, During the turmoil of the Reformation, Zug remained on the Catholic side of central Switzerland and retained the old faith. Warring religious confederates fought at Kappel am Albis (1531) and at Gubel in Menzingen. Its location on the edge of central Switzerland made Zug, a confessional border town. During the Reformation, Zug clung to the old faith and a member of the Christliche Vereinigung of 1529. In  1586, it became a member of the Golden League. Shalom! Aleichem.

Many travellers overlook Füssen as they pass by on their way to the region's most popular tourist attraction, Neuschwanstein Castle, but it offers plenty of things for the visitor to see and do. After spending a few days in Füssen, i've  found many fabulous reasons why you should visit this charming Bavarian town.  One of the first things you shoud do when you visit Füssen is wander the streets of the Old Town.
