The National Museum of American Jewish History is now working on an ongoing basis with community partners – theaters, historical sites, museums, restaurants, and more – to create exciting opportunities available exclusively to groups, so that your experience can expand beyond the actual walls of the museum.

Some of the ongoing opportunities include:

• Beth Sholom: Combine your visit to the museum with a visit to the National Historic Landmark Beth Sholom, the only synagogue designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Packages start at $19 per person for groups of 15 or more.

• Congregation Mikveh Israel: Augment your visit to the museum with a visit to Philadelphia’s oldest Jewish congregation. Experience the traditions of a 200+ year old, active, Sephardic congregation and learn about their and Philadelphia’s history by visiting their cemetery. Packages start at $15 per person for groups of 15 or more.

Hurry to experience some limited time opportunites:

• The Franklin Institute presents Dead Sea Scrolls (May 12-October 15): The museum partners with the Franklin Institute to bring your group a one-price ticket to view the NMAJH and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The latter exhibit features the most comprehensive collection of ancient artifacts from Israel ever organized. Packages start at $24 per person.

• EgoPo Classic Theater’s performance of A Dybbuk (May 30-June 17): Add to your NMAJH experience by seeing Tony Kushner’s production of A Dybbuk. As part of an ongoing Jewish Festival of theater, this story of love, ghosts and faith set is set in a 19th century Polish village where a wedding celebration is interrupted by a supernatural presence.
