Historic Jewish Denver by Bus

 

 

Bus Tour = Easy

In the late 1800s, Jewish migrations into the High Plains left a remarkable, indelible presence that’s carried through to the modern day. Then, thousands of largely Eastern European immigrant Jews came to “chase the cure” for tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. This second wave of migration had a major impact on the growth and development of Denver—both the Jewish population and the broader community. Join historian Dr. Jeanne Abrams as she shows you sites from the past and present that will tell these stories and leave you with a greater appreciation for this often overlooked aspect of Denver's tapestry. Learn all about the movements, both in religious practice and in neighborhoods, that have marked the progress of Denver's Jewish citizens. Includes bus transportation and a break for lunch on your own dime.
