Revived as a place of Jewish culture, 50 years after the anti-semitic purges of Jews and Jewish institutions across Poland in 1968 closed the original, Babel is a pleasant, contemporary cafe where you can chill out with a coffee or a drink. Live music, art shows and Jewish-themed events are staged here.
