Overview \|

The Jewish Museum Travel Program offers members unique opportunities to learn about art and Jewish culture in communities around the world. The rich history of the Jewish people is brought to life by a Scholar-in-Residence accompanying each trip.

All Jewish Museum tours feature deluxe hotels, beautifully furnished with all the amenities necessary to guarantee the high comfort level that our participants require. A full, buffet-style breakfast is served daily. Opening and closing receptions and dinners as well as a special Friday evening Shabbat meal, are always included. Other meals vary with each tour according to logistics. At group meals, fish, dairy and vegetarian food is available.
