the end of Communism in 1989. Over the past 28
years, thousands of Poles have discovered they have
Jewish roots.
Today, Polish Jews have the leadership of Rabbi
Michael Schudrich, who has served as Chief Rabbi
of Warsaw and Lodz since 2000 and Chief Rabbi
of Poland since 2004. Rabbi Schudrich, who is
American born and educated, has been instrumental

culture. We are pleased and honored to have him
address our community.
