Over the last week, our JBHS students have travelled to Spain, Morocco and Gibraltar; New Orleans and Poland to further their classroom learning beyond the walls of the school. You can read about their experiences below and on Myflatbushlife.com

Sephardic Heritage Trip to Spain, Morocco and Gibraltar

Fourteen seniors participated in a week-long Sephardic Heritage Trip to Spain, Morocco, and Gibraltar with Ms. Miriam Wielgus and Rabbi Avi Harari. The trip gave our students the opportunity to explore both the history of Sephardic Jewry as well as contemporary Spanish culture in some of the most beautiful and fascinating cities in Europe.
