Temple Shirat Shalom had its first field trip last Sunday, February 26. The National Museum of American Jewish History located on Independence Mall in Philadelphia proved to be a fun and informative experience. Arranged by Janet Hogan, we were led by a special museum docent who spoke of the Jewish people’s journey to America. Exhibits with memorabilia, photos and movies chronicled the experiences of the immigrants and the beginning of their new life in a free society. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better than that, we ended the day with dinner at the Famous 4th Street Deli where sandwiches, filled with hot patrami, corn beef and roasted turkey were paired with the most delicious pickles and potato knishes. A memorable and fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
