CHASSIDIC ROUTE
The Chassidic Route is a tourist route following traces of Jewish communities through southeastern Poland. Goals of the project include stimulation of the socio-economic development of the region by promoting the multicultural heritage-oriented tourism.

The partners of the Foundation in the implementation of the project are the units of territorial self-government and non-governmental organizations. Today the Chassidic Route joins 29 townships of the Lubelskie and Podkarpackie provinces. In the future we plan to extend it by adding more localities from the territories of Poland.

Currently the following localities participate in the project: Baligrod, Bilgoraj, Blazowa, Chelm, Cieszanow, Debica, Dukla, Dynow, Jaroslaw, Kolbuszowa, Krasnik, Lesko, Lezajsk, Lublin, Lancut, Leczna, Nowy Zmigrod, Przemysl, Radomysl Wielki, Ropczyce, Rymanow, Rzeszow, Sanok, Tarnobrzeg, Ulanow, Ustrzyki Dolne, Wielkie Oczy, Wlodawa and Zamosc.

The implementation of the Project assumes both an institutional support from the territorial self-government units and non-governmental organizations, and the building of a solid inter-sector partnership for the benefit of the development of the profiled tourism, which stimulates the local enterprise by providing the infrastructure necessary for the extended tourist movement. As a result of the project materials promoting the Chassidic Route are published, and the territorial self-government units and non-governmental organizations in localities on the Chassidic Route are provided with competences allowing them to take care for the development of regional tourism together, and to carry on a successful fundraising for this purpose.

The most important point of the Chassidic Route is the "Synagogue" Center in Zamosc www.zamosc.fodz.pl which houses, among others, the Chassidic Route information center. The project of “Revitalization of the Renaissance Synagogue in Zamosc for the Needs of the Chassidic Route and the Local Community” is supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism. Construction and conservation works in Zamosc had commenced in July 2009 and were completed in the summer of 2010. The opening ceremony took place on April 5th, 2011. Within the framework of the “Revitalization of the Renaissance synagogue in Zamosc for the needs of the Chassidic Route and the local community” project an activity “Restoration of the synagogue complex in Krasnik - phase I (protective works from further decay)” was also implemented. The works in Krasnik (a town 90 km away from Zamosc) were completed in April 2010.

We hope that the Chassidic Route Project will result in augmenting the tourist and culture attractiveness of the region, and also will help intensifying the local development of those territories.

HOW TO JOIN THE CHASSIDIC ROUTE?

Every town and city from Podkarpackie or Lubelskie provinces, in which the important Jewish communities have lived in the prewar period, may join the Chassidic Route by sending a request to the Foundation, signed by the representative of the town or community officials.



 SERIES OF BROCHURES dedicated to the history of Jewish Communities in ten towns members of the Chassidic Route (Chelm, Jaroslaw, Krasnik, Lesko, Lezajsk, Lancut, Sanok, Ropczyce, Rymanow and Ustrzyki Dolne), published by the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland.
