Led by scholars and experts on the history, culture, and Jewish significance of each destination, our national and international study tours provide access to sites and people that ordinary package tours seldom include -- from participating in an archaeological dig (Israel tour, Fall 1999) to meeting with a member of the International War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague (Paris/Amsterdam tour, Spring 2000).

Most tours are accompanied by a preparatory course, in addition to reading materials and instruction during the tour itself.

Recent destinations have included Israel, Eastern Europe (Warsaw, Lublin, Cracow, Prague, and Budapest), New York, Paris and Amsterdam, and the Caribbean.

Information on upcoming tours will be posted here as soon as it becomes available. If you are interested in a study tour, please email info@lehrhaus.org.

Lehrhaus on Tour

The Jewish Museum, Berlin

You read it right: Lehrhaus is on tour, but we're not just entertaining, we're educating! In 2008 Lehrhaus Judaica, along with the SFJCF and the JCCSF will be doing three tours, two to Israel in the year of her 60th anniversary, and one to Eastern Europe. The details are below. Remember to register early so you don't miss out on all the fun!

  • Roots, Ruins and Rebirth: Berlin, Dresden and Prague
  • August 8-17, 2008
  • Cosponsored by the JCCSF

Jews have lived in these fabled cities for many centuries and experienced both glory and tragedy. With the help of today’s growing German and Czech Jewish communities, we seek to reclaim this history and ponder the future.
