THIS TRIP HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO 2023.
Join the Jewish Federation of Somerset, Hunterdon & Warren Counties on a Mission to Cuba.
March 12-19 2023
Cuba: A land frozen in time - so close, yet decades away. A Jewish community dedicated to its heritage across half a century of isolation and prevalent atheism. A rich and vibrant island culture, filled with dance and song, classic cars and donkey carts, rum, and cigars. Experience all this and more as we step back in time together.
ON OUR 7-NIGHT JOURNEY WE WILL:
• Explore Jewish heritage and history in Havana, Santa
Clara, Trinidad and Cienfuegos
• Meet with leaders and members of the communities and
learn about Judaism alive in Cuba today
• Celebrate Shabbat with the Sephardic Center community
• Savor the flavors of Cuban cuisine and dance to the beat
of the local music
• See Old Havana (Havana Vieja), a UNESCO World
Heritage Site
• Learn the art of cigar rolling from leaf to finished product
• Visit Finca Vigia, the place Hemingway called home for
over 20 years
and so much more!!!
