During the walk we will find out where the mother of Szalom Szachna, the first rector of Lublin yeshiva, lived, in which building the Jewish People's Theatre was operating and in which the "Hachnasat Kala" Association for Aid to Poor Jewish Girls was located. We will learn the history of joint creation of poetry about Lublin by a Jewish poet and a Christian writer.
