#JewishVilnius
series of: #CentralStation
On a way to the train station where the starting point of the tour called Jewish Vilnius, beyond the traditional Jewish Quarter, by Jūsų gidas (Donatas).
A lot of information.
1) Why the train station?
Because precisely here Theodor Herzl, entered Vilnius on 16-17 August, 1903, on his way to Saint Petersburg (in LT).
2) we stopped @ the corner of Stoties str. and V. Sopeno str. A house of famous actor Abraham Morewski once stood here.
3) Vilhelmas Šopen str. and building no 8, where Vilnius Varpas Adults Gymnasium is located, and where former Jewish Boys Gymnasium in 1926-1940 was located. ( No 46 in a book)
4) Borisas Kleckinas (LT) and his print house, where the Talmuds were printed. It printed the biggest quantity of books in Yiddish.
And some discoveries beyond Jewish Vilnius topic.

Since I already was in the Station District, I have decided that it is a perfect day to finally find Saint Stephens Church (in LT).
I was searching for that church few years ago, but I couldn't find the access (the entrance) to the church.
The church is seen from Paneriu str. but you can can not easily find it. The right way to find it is go Sv. Stepono str. till the yard with trucks of UAB Grinds stand and to enter the yard, and, here, up the hill the church stands.
Let's walk sv. Stepono street till the Pylimo Egg. :)
