Welcome to Shalom Philly Tours, walking tours conducted by guide Linda Nesvisky, author of Jewish Philadelphia and expert on local Jewish history. Linda’s tours reveal fascinating but little known facts about the story of the first Jews in the first capitol of the United States. As the nation was founded, so too began the inspiring story of American-Jewish life. Walking down colonial streets one can discover the surprising history of the Jewish community in Philadelphia, as well as Jewish intellectual and cultural life into the twenty-first century.
