The Jewish Museum

Continuing its popular tradition, The Jewish Museumoffers a fun-filled way to spend an enjoyable day during the holiday season and Hanukkah.

Celebrate the third day of Hanukkah at the Jewish Museum with a drop-in workshop where kids can paint luminous scenes in celebration of the glowing lights of the holiday. On view in Scenes from the Collection are 80 Hanukkah lamps from North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, ranging in date from the Renaissance to the present. The Jewish Museum’s collection of Hanukkah lamps is the largest and finest in the world at nearly 1,050 pieces, and was amassed over the 115 years of the Museum’s existence.

Nefesh Mountain, a bluegrass band with a Jewish perspective, will perform two concerts for Hanukkah at 11:30 am and 2pm.

Exhibitions on view are Edith Halpert and the Rise of American Art; Rachel Feinstein: Maiden, Mother, Crone; and Scenes from the Collection.
