‘A description of the journey of Avraham Levy 1723-1719’ is a unique document of a Jewish ‘backpacker’ who traveled throughout Europe. The fascinating description of the journey has been preserved in Yiddish in a manuscript from 1764. Avraham Levy describes his experiences, sites he saw, events in which he was present and details of life in the Jewish communities he visited.
