PHILANTHROPY
Our Insider Journey will focus on the Jewish community that has existed in New Orleans since French Colonial times. Through periods of social and economic success, and even times of exile and persecution, the Jewish population of New Orleans has grown and contributed to the city for more than two centuries.
This is a great opportunity to discover that Jewish connection and get inspired by the creativity and vibrant spirit of this special community while enjoying a high-end stay and the award-winning authentic cuisine the city proudly offers.
