Rabbi on the Road: Feature Trip
Rabbi on the Road: Basque Country June 15 – 22, 2025
Basque Country unfolds along a picturesque landscape hugging the French-Spanish border just west of the Pyrennes with a stunning Atlantic coastline. It distinguishes itself through its language, history, food, wine, villages, and art.
While some trace Jewish presence in Spain to as far back as the Bible itself, in the Basque region our stories mostly begin with the expulsions of 1492 when Jews fled Spain and Portugal to the northern part of the country and to France. There are echoes of our presence everywhere.

Rabbi on the Road 2027: Mexico City Meets Rabbi on the Rocks: NYC
Thursday May 7, 2026 | 4:30 PM to 8 PM
Join us at MOMA for Frida & Diego: The Last Dream, featuring the work of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
Together, we’ll reflect on themes of identity, vulnerability, origins, and Kahlo’s Jewish connection—including the ways her story might resonate with our own.
Afterward, we’ll gather for a rooftop Cinco de Mayo-inspired Happy Hour to continue the conversation over Rabbi-crafted margaritas and other tequila cocktails, guacamole, and good company.
Meet in the MOMA Lobby at 11 West 53rd St. at 4:15 PM
$75 per person
(includes museum entrance and refreshments)
Happy Hour location provided upon registration.
