Located inside a former Jewish prayer house which was in operation from the 1880s up until WWII, this building was saved from ruin, renovated, and opened as a Jewish cultural centre in 1993. Today it subsists on a steady diet of lectures, concerts, art exhibits, film screenings and other events that reflect Jewish life in Poland's past and present. In the cellar you'll find an antique store and bookshop full of Judaica, while the ground floor hosts the Sara cafe/bar (open 10:00-21:00), whose small rooftop garden (open April to September) is one of Kazimierz's best-kept secrets.

I would like to find out more about visiting Jewish historical sights while in Krakow, Poland during my visit there starting next week.
