Crafts Workshop
A variety of year-round arts and crafts activities
will supplement children’s experiences in the exhibit
halls. They’ll enjoy designing challah covers similar
to the one they saw on the giant Shabbat table, braiding
their own havdalah candle, or creating a “tzedekah”
box in which to give the charity they learned about in
the World of Good. In addition to reinforcing the museum’s
messages, these and other creative projects will allow
children to bring home a bit of the museum experience.
Special workshops throughout the year will let children
try their hand at various activities, including making
their own shofars for Rosh Hashanah, baking challah or
matzah and making a Chanukah menorah. |

Discovery Synagogue
The Jewish Children’s Museum’s Discovery Synagogue
will be a model house of worship where visitors can get
up close and personal with a Torah, a yad—the pointer
used to read the Torah, and other objects. See the Ner
Tamid—the eternal lamp that is kept lit all of the
time. Look through a prayer book, and even speak with
a rabbi. |
