Shalom Y’All! Join us in Charleston and Savannah, two of the South’s most charming destinations. Cobblestone roads, unique architecture, and Southern hospitality await us. Jews arrived here as early as the late 17th century marking these cities with the distinction of being home to two of the oldest Jewish communities in the U.S. Southern Jewish life has a rich history, which we will see and feel during our visits at a Colonial synagogue and Jewish cemeteries. No trip to the South would be complete without discussing the institution of slavery and the Civil Rights Era, which we will do at different points over this trip.* Price does not include flight or hotel.

Dating back to 16th-century Crypto-Jews, today’s Jewish community reflects a diverse population of Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Levantine Jews. This tight-knit community is galvanized by a single and transcendent vision — to unite Jews from all sectors to build a strong and unified Jewish community. This seminar to Mexico City promises to delight and surprise the mind and senses, as together we explore its Mesoamerican roots and mystical past.
