Jewish Journeys
We have taken Jewish travel and married it with our commitments to Jewish Peoplehood and Jewish Community.
Our Journeys, and we prefer to call them Journeys and not trips or travel, are always about stories within stories as the Jews have always lived as part of societies and not separate from societies or their stories.
Our Journeys are based on the understanding that the elements which go into making a journey a Jewish Journey are the places and people we visit, the texts we use and the stories we tell, and the group of people who are on the Journey together.
A single booking form is now available regardless of which Journey you wish to be part of. Click on the icon below to download the form.

A New York Jewish Journey - Babylon reborn 23rd-27th May 2013 With Julian Resnick
No other place on this earth can claim to challenge the centrality of Jewish life in Israel like New York can. This is the Jewish city.
This is going to be an experience true to NYC: you are going to choose your own hotel and meet up every morning after your NY breakfast at an NY Subway station to begin our day together. We are going to use the preferred means of transport in the city: subways and walking (you need to be comfortable with a reasonable amount of walking to join us).
We will enjoy what NY has to offer, food, sights and, more than anything else, thought provoking opinions. There is an ad current in NY which talks of a city which tolerates points of view no matter how odd, but does not tolerate unfashionable shoes! We will tolerate both.
Price will be £500 per person and does not include flights or hotels. A deposit of £75pp is payable by 15th January 2013. On that date, the Journey will be confirmed if there are a minimum number (25) of participants. If the minimum number is not reached, your deposit will be returned. If the Journey is confirmed, then your deposit is non- refundable. Full payment will be due by 23rd March 2013.
Please note the following:
- The programme will begin at 09.30 on the 23rd May and end at 18.30 on the 27th.
- Included: Bus/subway pass; Off-Broadway ticket; evening programme at the 92nd St Y or the JCC of Manhattan; all entrances to sites on the programme; Julian Resnick as educator plus NY City guide.
- The following meals are included: Thursday lunch, Thursday dinner, Friday dinner, Monday lunch.
- Colletts will have a list of hotels and recommended flights, but these are your responsibility and you are of course free to find your own solutions. Please note when making your reservations that hotels in the USA do not usually include breakfasts.
- The days will begin after breakfast at an assigned subway stop where the day begins.
- To book please contact Debbi Arnold or Kirsty Pegg at Colletts Travel on 020 8202 2233 or Kirsty@collettstravel.co.uk

Jews and their Italian Renaissance - Padua and Mantua
13th-16th June with Jeremy Leigh
In this Jewish Journey we travel to the heart of the Italian Renaissance, to two cities whose great and good helped define that great revolution of ideas and culture in the late Middle Ages. Here we find stories of Jews for whom the porous cultural borders of the surrounding society provided a rich opportunity for innovation and change – in art, philosophy, medicine and music. Though their numbers were small, the Renaissance Jews of this period were influential precursors to later times when curiosity, innovation and change defined the spirit of the age.
Set against the backdrop of the fine Italian palaces, libraries and squares, as well as in the smaller backstreets of former Jewish areas and ornate synagogues, we look for reflections of ourselves as Renaissance Jews.
Price will be £530 for double occupancy with a single supplement of £180. The price excludes flights and is based on a minimum of 30 participants. We reserve the right to add a surcharge if there is a significant devaluation of the pound against the destination currency. A non-refundable deposit of £75 per person is payable with your booking form. Final payment will be required by 18 March 2013. To book please contact Debbi Arnold or Kirsty Pegg at Colletts Travel on 020 8202 2233 or download a booking form.
