JMB Summer Festival 2023 for the Whole Family!
Part of Cultural Summer
In the garden behind the museum, we’ll be celebrating, feasting and dancing through the summer – with live music from the Jewish wedding band Matzoh Boys, dance workshops, home-baked challah bread from the clay oven, and a Yiddish sing-along concert with Glückel.
Short tours of the core exhibition will focus on Jewish festivals and rituals – these will be offered in German sign language, too.
The ANOHA children’s world team will be collecting a colorful rainbow of good wishes, and inviting guests young and old to help build an ark. ANOHA – The ANOHA children’s world is now open, and today it will offer tours for adults, too. The FRIENDS OF THE JMB show that friendship has many faces, and invite you to get to know them.
There will also be children’s face painting, street food, giant bubble blowing, horse hoppers, and a large garden where you can relax, play and explore.
