I've noticed lately that Jewish events around the world have taken on an unprecedented scale. Jews don't normally congregate in thousands at a time- we like our little confort circles. However, something is in the air. Take for example the Jewish cultural festival in Krakow:

We are talking about 21 consecutive years and 15,000 visitors per year! Try standing in the old Jewish quarter of Krakow as you listen to the finest Jewish music in the world and you'll know why its so huge.
