In the new episode of Between the Lines, host Urszula Gacek welcomes Jonathan Ornstein, CEO of the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Krakow, for an in-depth conversation focused on Jewish community life in Poland and across Europe.
The discussion traces the history of the JCC in Krakow and explores the vibrant cultural and social life of the Jewish community in Poland today. From historical trauma to contemporary rediscovery and renewal, Ornstein reflects on the growth of Jewish communities, the search for a safe place to live and build identity, and the evolving perception of Poland among Jews over the centuries. The episode also addresses the challenges facing Jewish communities worldwide, with a particular focus on Europe, where questions of security, identity, and belonging have become increasingly urgent.
"Poland is a strong economy and a safe, decent place to be Jewish once again," Ornstein says, reflecting on the broader question of where Jewish communities can truly feel secure in contemporary Europe.
Between the Lines is a new interview series hosted by Urszula Gacek, featuring extended, in-depth conversations with leaders, thinkers, activists, and authors. The focus is on context, continuity, and what is often left unsaid in public debate.
