What kind of people built the Telšiai Yeshiva? What personalities hide behind the names of famous rabbis? What stories did a letter, a document, or a crown tell that gave new life to the walls of the Telšiai Yeshiva? Why did the yeshiva not sound like the oceanic sea of the Torah, while the pounding of women's shoes in New York is pavement in Philadelphia? How did kinship ties, friendships, and stories of amishta determine the life of the Telšiai Yeshiva, the Telšiai Jewish communities? How did we manage to save some of the destroyed Telšiai Jewish communities and stories? Did the founder of the Samogitian Museum "Alka", Pranas Genys, the pioneer of the memory of the Telšiai Jews, contribute to the preservation of memory? Find out the answers to these and many other questions on the excursion "Telšiai Yeshiva: Persons, Relationships Are Laws" by the new museum guide Romena Kazlauskė.
