Wednesday, December 25: Advance Tickets Only | Afternoon Tickets Available

It’s a countdown till sundown! Prepare for the first night of Hanukkah (and the seven nights after it) with crafts and activities for the whole family. Color a card and decorate custom wrapping paper to gift loved ones, design a dreidel, and craft a menorah to link each candle with something you want to celebrate. See the ongoing exhibitions in a new light with a Hanukkah themed scavenger hunt and read a variety of holiday books from our children’s library.

 

 

 

Want to do more? We are proud to partner with the Edlavitch DCJCC to host a D25 Day of Service activity. Sign up at this link to make activity kits in Cafritz Hall for newly-arrived immigrant children whose parents have to attend long appointments with case managers, attorneys, and others. The kits provide a welcome distraction for our new neighbors! This project is great for volunteers of all ages, and you can enjoy Holiday Countdown activities after your shift.

 

Notes:
* The Museum will be open from 11 am-3 pm
* Admission to the special exhibition, JewCE: The Jewish Comics Experience, requires an additional ticket ($0-$10).
Advance registration is required.
