About Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall – where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed – and other American Revolutionary sites. No less iconic are the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone’s triumphant run in the film "Rocky." In 1681, William Penn founded the city to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. The area's many universities and colleges make Philadelphia a top international study destination, as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub. The city contains many art museums, such as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Rodin Museum, the city's major art museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is one of the largest art museums in the United States. Areas such as South Street and Old City have a vibrant night life. The Avenue of the Arts in Center City contains many restaurants and theaters, such as the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, which is home to the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Academy of Music, home to the Opera Company of Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Ballet.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Philadelphia

Congregation Mikveh Israel, the first Jewish congregation in Philadelphia, had its beginnings about 1745 and is believed to have worshiped in a small house in Sterling Alley. Jews have lived in Pennsylvania from Colonial American times. Large immigrant populations from Russia moved into the Jewish Quarter, in today’s Society Hill and Queen Village. In 2013 there were about 145,000 Jews living in Philadelphia, but many of these live in suburbs outside of the city of Philadelphia to the North and West, in the 1910s Jewish populations had moved into areas such as West Philadelphia and Strawberry Mansion, by the 1990s Jewish populations had gravitated to areas like Bala Cynwyd and Merion.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.

Please note - *JOFY does NOT mean that KOSHER food is served on the premises!
