Join us for a morning of creating, learning, and crafting to celebrate the Jewish Deli, family style.

Read with children’s book authors Pamela Ehrenberg, Erica Perl, and Alan Silberberg, braid challah with Paula Shoyer, and take action on food insecurity with MAZON.  Enjoy specialty crafts, games, and a scavenger hunt to guide even the littlest learners through the Museum.

Please note that registration for this event does not include tickets to the special exhibition “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli. You can enjoy these activities on their own or reserve your tickets to the exhibition at this link.

 

Presented in partnership with MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger and PJ Library.

Support for CJM After Sunset, Family Day, and Salon Nights is provided in part by HumanitiesDC.
