Over three weeks of travel through Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland, the Helix Project traverses the historical heartlands of a millennium of Jewish life in Europe. </p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px; color: #484848; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Breaking down barriers between past and present, students are immersed in everyday cultural life of this fascinating region. The Helix Project gives unique insight into the pre- and post-Soviet borderlands of the historical Pale of Settlement, while gaining new understanding of the complex multi-cultural, multilingual worlds that have existed in these lands for centuries.<br /><a style="color: #66cccc; text-decoration: none; padding: 2px 0px;" href="http://us3.forward-to-friend1.com/forward?u=f9a4044fbaa4715cb5f7f4b09&id=ffad11d175&e=fd5ce6f364"><img style="width: 733px; min-height: 40px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none; text-decoration: none; display: block; max-width: 100%; border: none;" src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/f9a4044fbaa4715cb5f7f4b09/images/46d58a13-df9d-4ab9-9271-d294b7957c02.png" alt="" width="733" height="40" align="middle" /></a>This is <em>not</em> a trip only for or about Jews. The program approaches Jewish culture as the product of many different traditions, places, and ideas across national, ethnic, religious, and cultural lines of all sorts. The Helix Project explores these messy, joyful, sometimes tragic, sometimes beautiful realities. And Helix welcomes the participation of people of all backgrounds.</p>

I was never simply “transported” as if in a time machine—without context or historical orientation. Instead, my fellow Helixers and I functioned as cultural archaeologists, excavating narratives that cut across place and time. By initially assuming that I would only be learning about the past, I overlooked the fact that these countries have thriving, growing cultures today. The communities in Belarus, Poland, and Lithuania possess complex pasts but also dynamic presents. In learning about these presents I was able to better understand the aftermath of the social and political movements that impacted Jewish life in the 20th century.</span></p>

This experience was particularly meaningful since we got the opportunity to visit the places where so many literary figures were born, grew up, lived, published and, for some, ultimately died.<br /><br /> The program contextualized their work and helped me to really visualize what life must have been like for them. Overall, Helix gave me more clarity on this complex region and provided me with tools to help reconcile, engage with, and understand the Jewish past and present of Eastern Europe. It was a special time-warp experience chock full of music, literature and history that I will cherish.</span></p>

The exploration of these difficult yet vital questions was a part of Yiddish that, for whatever reason, seemed to have eluded me. Helix not only brought many of these issues to the fore for me, it made them tangible. Material aside, it was the community of students and educators on Helix that really made the trip what it was. I feel lucky to have shared my Helix experience with such a widely distinct and hilarious group of peers. We all ended up on Helix for very different reasons, and it was these various individual questions, struggles, and triumphs that made the group what it was.</span></p>

Where else in the world can you consciously cross historical, political and linguistic borders every day? Where else can you start the morning in Belarusian, read Yiddish poetry through the day, order lunch in Polish and say goodnight in Lithuanian?<br /><br /> This is the way I want my life to be every day, and this is the kind of world that countless Yiddish-speaking activists fought for. For three stunning weeks the Helix Project makes that a reality, and it leaves us brimming with possibility.</span></p>
