Robyn Helzner with Mr. Jakob Finci, President of the Jewish Community of Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the Ashkenazi Synagogue in Sarajevo.

Discover the Balkans - a little known oasis of Jewish life! Robyn introduces this region of spectacular beauty and historic heartbreak through captivating stories, expressive Ladino and Yiddish songs, compelling video, and striking images. Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal found safe haven in the cities of Dubrovnik, Split, and Sarajevo. The later arrival of Ashkenazi Jews created a unique meeting place between the cultures of east and west. Song lyrics are provided so everyone can join the singing.   A stunning vocalist and vivid storyteller, Robyn Helzner radiates a passion for Jewish music and culture. Her concerts and recordings are acclaimed worldwide. Robyn also leads Jewish Heritage Tours to the Balkans, Spain, China and Morocco. “This part of the world was unknown to me; now it has come alive.” — Melinda S., Temple Sinai, Washington, DC “The local history, the Jewish history and how you wove in the Ladino music was the icing on the cake!” — Richard A., Columbia, MD IDEAL FOR: Adult Education • Lecture Series • Workshop Presentations,  Conference Programs • Selichot Evenings • Weekend Residencies • Special Events
