A Walking Tour of Jewish History in Colonial Philadelphia (only you don't have to leave the comfort of the CBJ Sanctuary)

Sunday, January 29, 11:00

Our resident historical expert, Barbara Cohen, will take us through a slide presentation of Colonial Philadelphia from the perspective of Jewish History in America.

You will walk away knowing...

• Who make the largest financial contribution to Mikveh Israel in 1778? (Hint:  He was really really famous!)
• What Jewish land speculator lived on Elfreth's Alley and owned the land that would become West Point?
• Why does Christ Church have a set of Kosher dishes?
• What Jewish person is responsible for bringing what would become known as the Liberty Bell to Philadelphia?

And much, much more!

RSVP to the office to attend this fascinating lesson in history.  The next time you walk through Philadelphia's historic district it will be with a new set of eyes!
