Following October 7 and its aftermath, Israelis are slowly returning to travel, to breathe, to relax.

In this episode our travel duo Mark and David head to stunning Krakow in Poland to sample 21st-Century Jewish life in a city that has a Jewish history dating back a thousand years. They visit the tourist sights but also take you behind the scenes to learn about the community's contribution to the city and find out what it's like to be a Jew today in this former Polish capital, particularly given the new reality back in Israel.
