Visit to the Museum of Jewish Heritage

I'm embarrassed to admit that my visit to the Museum of Jewish Heritage on Sunday was my very first to that incredible institution.

In addition to the permanent core exhibition, I wanted to see two temporary offerings: "Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow: Jewish Refugee Scholars at Black Colleges" and "The Morgenthaus: A Legacy of Service." Each would have been well worth the trip (and admission) on its own.

I encourage everyone to go to the Museum and see these exhibitions themselves, but even a Web visit will provide much to think about.

P.S. It appears that a film quite related to "Beyond Swastika and Jim Crow" will be screened in DC as part of the Washington Jewish Film Festival on Tuesday, December 8.
