Frankfurt & ShUM — Frankfurt is the practical western base for its community and museums plus Mainz, Worms, and Speyer.

Munich & Bavaria — The Jewish Center, museum, and Einstein restaurant form a compact Old Town anchor with serious memorial day trips.

Central & eastern Germany — Erfurt's medieval Jewish heritage anchors a region that can also include Leipzig, Dresden, Dessau, and Nuremberg.
