Visit Malta

Malta and its sister islands Gozo and Comino, an archipelago in the Mediterranean, boast a remarkable 8,000 years of history, including 3 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Malta has now become a world-class destination with luxury hotels, Michelin-star restaurants, wineries, a year-round calendar of festivals and events, beautiful beaches, water sports and diving. Jewish travelers will also find a fascinating Jewish history and heritage on the Maltese Islands that date back to the 4th and 5th centuries during the Roman period. Evidence includes Jewish catacombs, a slave cemetery, street names and historical sites as well as links to Kabbalism. Although Jews once populated Malta in great numbers, today there is a small but vibrant community, estimated to be about 400, of which about 100 are local and 300 expats. visitmalta.com

Moment Travels to Budapest & Belgrade

Join Moment Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein on a thought-provoking journey through Hungary and Serbia as we explore how Jewish memory, identity and truth are shaped—and sometimes distorted—across borders and generations. From the historic synagogues and literary cafés of Budapest to the media houses and Jewish heritage centers of Belgrade—two cities with vibrant Jewish pasts—we’ll engage with journalists, scholars and cultural leaders and explore Jewish life at a time of rising nationalism. This tour offers a rare lens into the evolving role of Jews in Central Europe today, and deep dives into current political divisions and dueling narratives.
