Thrusday, Tishrei 20, 5781. October 8, 2020. 

Shalom! World. 

Cheder Café, Jozefa 36, Kazimierz. Krakow - Poland. 

Cheder is a name for a Caé run by the Jewish Culture Festival. This is where you can tasteexcellent coffee, including Cheder's specialty: coffee brewed in finjan, a unique Israeli brass-pot. Cheder also serve tea with nana (fresh mint), the best hummus in town, as well as other dishes inspired by the Middle-Eastern cuisine. 





Cheder is Yiddish word for primary school for boys. Following this meaning is a chance to encounter contemporary Jewish Culture from Israel and the entire Diaspora. 

This Café is perfect to meet friends and enjoy a fresh air of culture and perfect food. Elzbieta and me changed ideas about Philosophy, Travels and the real meaning for keeping alive. Unforgettable Café!!! 




History of Cheder 
In 1890, on the ground floor of the building at 36 Jozefa Street in Krakow's Kazimierz, Khevra Ner Tamid, Jewish religious organization, opened its bet hamidrash (house of prayers). It was devastedand desacrated during WW II and afterwards has never served its religious functions again. For many years it was used by a local charity organization. 

In 2008, thanks to careful renovation by Jewish Culture Festival Society, this former bet hamidrash regained its social and cultural functions. It became a cheder - place of basic Jewish education. One year later opened Café in the same value.
