Today, a committee of dedicated people at the Irish Jewish Museum preserve for public display material relating to the community and Judaism in general. You'll meet some of these highly dedicated people during your visit to the Museum, housed in a former Synagogue, originally constructed as two adjoining terraced houses. The Synagogue fell into disuse and ceased to function in the mid 1970s. Opened by the Irish born former President of Israel Dr. Chaim Herzog in June 1985, the Museum preserves an important part of Ireland's cultural and historic heritage. Today, the former Synagogue, with its original features, houses memorabilia relating to Irish Jewry. The collection includes photographs, paintings, certificates, books, and artifacts concerning all aspects of Jewish life.

Shore Excursions in Great Britain, London, Dover, Harwich, Southampton


London ancient pubs, coaching inns, and riverside taverns that have survived 500 years of fire, flood, wartime Blitz, and the modern developer!

English countrysideSouthampton - Stonehenge & Salisbury One of the most beautiful, and one of the most typical of English cathedral towns, its narrow streets are busy and prosperous-looking, seeming to bear witness to important history here. Salisbury dates from the early 13th century. The foundation of the Cathedral was laid in 1220 and was built in a single style. No cathedral rises so superbly from its setting as Salisbury Cathedral. Many of the Cathedral's treasures are due to the restoration in the 18th century by Wyatt. Salisbury is rich in late medieval gabled houses in narrow alleys, and has countless interesting buildings. Stonehenge is the most famous of the great prehistoric monuments of the British Isles. Stonehenge is in the form of a circle of massive stones dating from the Bronze Age, whose axis is aligned with the sunrise on the longest day of the year. Its purpose is thought to be religious, to do with the foretelling of the seasons and perhaps, the worship of a sun-god.

Harwich - Cambridge Colleges & Punt Ride on the River Cam
CambridgeCambridge features winding streets lined with old houses and shops on the River Cam. The Romans used Cambridge as an inland port. Cambridge has a wealth of historic buildings, and much of its charm lies in winding back streets and passages. You take a walk among the "Backs", the Mathematical Bridge and venerable colleges. There are now 31 colleges, founded mostly by kings, queens, bishops and nobles. The beautiful buildings reflect 700 years of British architectural heritage. One of the highlights of a visit to Cambridge is to take a ride in a punt—a flat-bottom boat propelled by a 16 foot pole which is also used to steer along the River Cam—one of the most beautiful stretches of river in England. Take in the Bridge of Sighs, King's Chapel and the Wren Library at Trinity from a river perspective, then stroll to Kings College Chapel. Henry VI laid the foundation stone of the Chapel in 1446 and the windows were made by Flemish craftsmen—the finest collection of medieval stained glass in the country.

Harwich - Constable Country - Captured in paintings by Constable, the Suffolk-Essex border features timbered houses, moated manors, and fine church towers. Travel across the open countryside and into the beautiful Dedham Vale—Constable Country, where the great landscape painter John Constable was born in 1776. At Flatford with its unchanging scenery of willows, shimmering meadows and winding streams, walk along a gently sloping path with a few steps to the center of this rural hamlet, and visit a 16th-century thatched cottage housing an exhibition on the famous painter. Nearby Flatford Mill is instantly recognized, as is Willie Lott's cottage immortalized in The Haywain. Continue along the country roads to Dedham—the attractive village where Constable went to school. In High Street, stop to admire the 16th-century St Mary's Church, and see Sherman Hall dating back to the 16th century. Nearby is Colchester - Britain's oldest recorded town. In AD77 a Roman writer by the name of Pliny the Elder described the location of the Isle of Anglesey as being 'about 200 miles from Camulodunum, a town in Britain'. This was the Roman name for Colchester and is the earliest known reference to a fixed settlement in Britain, hence the claim to be Britain's oldest recorded town. The return drive to Harwich shows many more quiet country landscapes.


Leeds CastleDover - Leeds Castle & Canterbury
Kent has some of the most romantic castles in Britain, including Leeds Castle in Maidstone. With a fairytale setting, standing romantically on three islands encircled by a lake, this gem of a castle has a long and dramatic history. Lovingly restored, it is home to a magnificent collection of medieval furnishings, paintings, tapestries and treasures. Travel to Canterbury, England's cathedral city with historic buildings and narrow streets. Canterbury has an interesting history, and a long one. It has been inhabited since 350AD. This was the cradle of Christianity in Saxon England. The first cathedral was built in 597 by St. Augustine. Thomas Becket was murdered before the high altar in 1170. Timbered and tile-hung villages welcome you on a leisurely afternoon drive through delightful hamlets and along leafy country roads. There will be an opportunity to visit some of the villages' winding streets, small shops and historical atmosphere as you return via County Kent to Dover.

Dover - JANE AUSTEN, KENT Oast Houses KentPUBS AND MORE The county of Kent known as the ‘Garden of England’ has breathtaking countryside dotted with orchards, vineyards, hop gardens, oasthouses and more famously the White Cliffs of Dover. The Port of Dover Is The Busiest Passenger Port In The World. Pubs are a uniquely English phenomenon and the ingredients that make a good pub are a mysterious concoction. Pubs are served in many guises, from little thatched cottages to large, purpose built operations . We visit Griffen's Head or Fitzwalter Arms. Griffens- A Kentish Wealden hall house, dating from 1286 when Edward I was on the throne. It was once occupied by the monks of All Saints Church who farmed the surrounding land until 1539. Inside is evidence of its long history, with inglenook fireplaces and beamed bars among many original features. Fine Kentish ales and home-made food have helped this old inn to make its mark with visitors as well as locals, among them Kent's cricketing fraternity. Outside is a very pretty garden. The Fitz, the hostelry to the Fitzwalter Estate, has been a pub since 1702. Quintessentially English, it is a place of conviviality and conversation. Jane Austen was a frequent visitor to nearby Goodnestone Park after her brother, Edward, married into the family. On the menu, roast loin of pork with sticky rib, crackling and apple sauce; pan-fried black bream fillet with squid and gremolata; and leek and Lincolnshire Poacher gratin with Pommery mustard sauce. Time allowing, visit Goodnestone Park.
