Reminder: January is National #SoupMonth! 

Why not try out a new recipe with extra meaning – like something from “Recipes Remembered: A Celebration of Survival.” Pick up a copy at Esther’s Place Online: https://jewishmuseummd.ecrater.com/p/36850287/recipes-remembered.

A missive from Chris Sniezek, Manager at Esther's Place!

Hello everyone! Even though our museum is closed, we hope you will continue to check out our online activities and merchandise, and keep us in mind while navigating the new experiences and disruptions COVID-19 has caused. As everyone adjusts to these changes, many of us still want to continue on with as much of our daily lives  as possible while quarantined in our homes. This includes honoring the holidays as traditionally as possible.

With Passover fast approaching, you might pull out your old Passover Seder plate and notice it is time for a replacement; maybe it’s chipped in some places or the colors are faded, or maybe it is just time for a change. If this is the case, take a look at our burgundy and gold glass Seder plate currently offered on our online shop. With deep, pre-formed spaces for placing traditional foods, the colorful decorations and metal inlay are guaranteed to add an impressive display to your Passover meals. The change in scenery during your Passover celebrations will add a little more excitement and calm to this stressful time.

To find where to purchase this Seder plate and others similar to it, head over to our new Jewish Museum of Maryland online shop at https://jewishmuseummd.ecrater.com.  

Priced at only $60, you can find this plate, or another one, to make happy memories with during this stressful time. If this isn’t the piece for you, there are plenty more exciting items for you to see! Continue adding to your holiday experience with this Seder plate and keep a pleasant memory long after life returns to normal.

Museum shops are slowly healing me

From Shop manager Chris:

Over the past several months, our country has undertaken a mission to expand the current understanding of equality through justice. 

Esther's Place, the Jewish Museum of Maryland Gift Shop is here to provide historical context for some of the social and political movements occuring. 

For these resources, check out the online gift shop here: https://jewishmuseummd.ecrater.com/c/2302150/social-justice. 

Members and volunteers can still apply their discount by adding promo code “Member” or “Volunteer” on checkout. 

For local patrons, avoid paying for shipping with curbside pickup with promo code “Curbside Pickup.” I will reach out to you and set up a pickup time outside of the museum.
