Harvard Club of Philadelphia

Museum of American Jewish History - Guided Tour

Please join us for a guided tour of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History Core Exhibits and then a self guided visit to: The First Salute: An Untold Story of the American Revolution.

The First Salute: An Untold Story of the American Revolution is the first-ever major museum exhibition to explore the little-known story of a small group of Jewish merchants in the Caribbean whose outsized contributions to the cause of American Liberty tipped the scales in the fight for American Independence.

   
This Weitzman's landmark exhibition marking America’s 250th will take you on an adventure through America’s fight for freedom as you’ve never seen it before—where Jewish faith, courage, and persecution collided on the high seas to change the course of history.  More information about the exhibit can be found here.
   

All ages are welcome at this event.
