This afternoon, I received an email from the good folks at the Jewish Museum of Maryland. As part of their Winter Fun Break, here are a couple of events that I suggest you take advantage of:
Free Museum Admission
Friday, December 25, 2009 / 12:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Tours of historic Lloyd Street and B'nai Israel Synagogues at 1pm. Children's activities include scavenger hunts and activity books for exhibitions Voices of Lombard Street: A Century of Change in East Baltimore and Drawing on Tradition: The Book of Esther.
Please call the Museum at 410.732.6400 or check our blog before coming as there is a chance for inclement weather on Friday.
And,
The Day the Chickens Escaped, A Shadow Puppet Workshop!
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 / 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
$10 per family
Discover what happened the day the chickens escaped along Baltimore's Lombard Street. Create shadow puppets of chickens in pickle barrels, acting on the Yiddish theater stage, working at sewing machines, and even on roller skates! Work with award winning organization, Nana Projects, to make the puppets and put on a show. This will be great fun for everyone!
For reservations or questions, contact Ilene Dackman-Alon, Program Director, at 410.732.6400 x214 or idackmanalon@jewishmuseummd.org.
