GJC's HAZAK (55+) group plans a few special day trips to cultural and natural sites in the area, often to places members have never been (like the Philadelphia Waterworks, Chanticleer Gardens, and the Philadelphia Fabric Museum), and plan tours to institutions such as the Kimmel Center and Academy of Music.
GJC's Jewish book reading group reads fiction and nonfiction books of Jewish interest written mostly, but not solely, by Jewish writers and chosen by the group. Volunteer group members lead the discussion. For more information, please contact Nan at nanbmyers2@gmail.com.
