Since Baltimore Hebrew University is designated as an Elderhostel supersite, we have a particularly rich selection of courses and participants. The Elderhostel program includes a week of shared courses, lunches, and evening activities throughout Baltimore. Participants choose from courses on Jewish culture, art history, music, literature, film, and religious tradition. Note that some weeks have devoted five days to a theme while others offer a variety of courses. The site will be indicated next to each week.
Travel roads our Jewish ancestors helped to build.
As you walk the cobblestone streets of Annapolis and visit the market center our Jewish ancestors helped to create, learn why Jews became merchants in the state of Maryland. From the Holocaust to Israel Many of us reflect upon the moral, spiritual and political questions raised by the Holocaust, after we ask why and how did it occur. We approach this topic communally, because reading without shared discussion cannot answer all of the issues raised. Join us in study with our expert Holocaust historian. A visit to the Holocaust Museum and the B'nai B'rith Museum will deepen the meaning of your week's experience.
