Elsewhere in the Museum...

Since, as Lacy mentioned, the synagogue renovations are hibernating, I thought I'd include some of the other recent activities at the JMM, including some of our Chanukah activities.

Check out this video of Esther Weiner, JMM's Museum Shop Manager, performing a latke (potato pancake) cooking demonstration for students from Mount Washington Elementary!

See the Latke Demo here!

We also had Daniel Barash lead a Jewish Shadow Puppet workshop with children from across the region. Watch this clip of the students using their puppets during the performance of In the Month of Kislev.

Watch a clip of the show here!

We had over 80 people at the JMM on December 25th enjoying a number of great programs, including the BONIM (builders in Hebrew) project. Based on the photograph, Aufsicht (yellow) by Wolfgang Tillmans in the exhibit, Dateline: Israel, families created their own Israeli city!



The final result!
