Through Urban Backpacking, small groups compete to solve clues to Jewish mystery stories bared on historical themes in designated cities. Participants explore Jewish history, community, and their relevance to today through visiting sites and sources (both real and virtual) in the spirit of The DaVinci Code.

Melitz has developed Urban Backpacking games in Berlin, Istanbul, and Venice for English-speakers and in Jerusalem (in Hebrew). Please contact us at info@melitz.org.il for more information if you will be traveling to these locations and are interested in participating.
