Trips

Every semester, the Gratz College Netzky Division of Continuing Education sponsors day trips to destinations of Jewish interest in New York and Washington D.C. In accordance with the academic goals of Gratz College, museum trips are a favorite and include: Ellis Island, The Jewish Museum, the Tenement Museum, The Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Jewish Heritage and the National Holocaust Museum. Participants often also enjoy a guided walking tour of certain New York neighborhoods with rich Jewish histories. Whenever possible, a Gratz College professor or community scholar accompanies the group to deliver an introductory talk on the bus and answer questions throughout the day.

For the past several years, Gratz College has also organized sold-out trips to the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater in New York, led by Rita Ratson, the Yiddish Culture and Language Coordinator. In the past, Gratz College has also provided a Walking Tour of Jewish Philadelphia and group tickets for productions with Jewish content at the Prince Theater and other locations in Center City.
