Katz JCC Headed to NYC for Groundhog Day
Get ready for the bright lights of New York City to see Groundhog Day The Musical on Broadway on Sunday, May 7. The best way to see a show is to skip the train or driving in to deal with midtown traffic- sit back and relax on our coach bus and travel to the city the easy way!
In the new musical comedy based on the popular film, Groundhog Day, Andy Karl stars as TV weather man Phil Connors who reluctantly goes to cover the story of Punxsutawney Phil for the third year in a row. Making no effort to hide his frustration, he covers the story and moves on, expecting his job to be finished but awakes the "following" day and discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and the fun happens again and again and again.
This Katz JCC trip includes round trip coach transportation to NYC, orchestra seating at the show, snacks on return trip and driver’s gratuity. Lunch is on your own.
To register for this trip, please visit katzjcc.org/adult-trips or stop by the JCC adult department office located on the first floor of the JCC. For more information, please contact Sharon Siegel, JCC Life Long Learning Director, at ssiegel@jfedsnj.org, call (856) 424-4444 x1297.

Muslim & Jewish student groups break bread at Rowan’s historic Hollybush
In 1967, the Hollybush Mansion in Glassboro was the setting for high stakes talks between President Lyndon B. Johnson and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin to ease Cold War tensions. Johnson attributed the improved relationship between the superpower nations that emerged to “the Spirit of Hollybush.”
Fifty years later, the elegant mansion on the Rowan University campus served yet again to bridge communications between people of diverse cultures. Although the stakes weren’t as high, students who participated in the first dinner organized jointly by the campus Hillel and Muslim Student Association called the March 24 interfaith get-together a breakthrough for two student groups that have had little formal interactions.
