Pre-Trip Post, By Mindy

I am most excited about meeting the people of Odessa, learning about their Jewish community, and seeing such a different part of the world. It wasn't until I started to share the news about this trip with my family that I discovered that one of my great-grandparents came from Kamyanets- Podilsky, Ukraine. So although we are traveling to Odessa, I am still eager to learn all about Ukrainian Jewish Culture through this unique and rewarding trip. –Mindy Sternberg
