Did you know that Philadelphia’s first Boxing champion was A Jewish immigrant named Benny Bass? We did! 

Join CharacTours and Tribe 12 on this exciting theatrical adventure through the Jewish History of Philadelphia. You’ll meet four real characters from the Revolutionary War till the 20th Century. Tour guide and actor Andrew Davies will make this an immersive walking tour you won’t want to miss! 

We will start outside of the Jewish Museum at 5th and Market and end on South Street. After the tour ends we will have a drink and a bite together to talk about the experience and get to know each other's stories too. It's going to be a blast...from the past!
