Jewish Phoenix 2024-25

Take a highly visual journey to the world’s largest continent and learn about the history and resilience of several fascinating Jewish communities.  

Dan Fellner, an experienced travel writer specializing in Jewish destinations and a recent Fulbright Fellow in Asia, will share his firsthand observations of Jewish life in such diverse countries as Vietnam, Myanmar, India, Thailand, Nepal, Taiwan, Japan and China. 

Learn about the thousands of European Jews who found a safe-haven in Shanghai during the Holocaust, the unique Bene Israel community in India, and the throngs of Israeli tourists who flock to Thailand every year.  You’ll also learn about the tremendous contributions of the Kadoorie and Sassoon families, both of which have built economic empires throughout the continent.  

The program starts at 10 a.m. with refreshments and conversation and the presentation starts at 10:30 a.m.
