The Lilian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum will resume on Thursday, May 29, 2025, with a program honoring the memories of the Israeli Embassy team member Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Miligrim, the museum revealed in a declaration on Thursday.
” We will collect as a neighborhood to bear in mind Yaron and Sarah as our ideas stay with their liked ones. This disaster will not keep us from informing the story of the higher Washington area’s Jewish history for visitors from all over the world. The Capital Jewish Museum is devoted to sharing Jewish stories and motivating neighborhood discussion. In the spirit of that objective, the Museum will resume to the general public,” Executive Director Dr Beatrice Gurwitz stated.
A number of people will speak at the resuming, consisting of Dr Gurwitz and the museum’s Board Chair, Chris Wolf, along with regional chosen authorities and clergy.
Visitors to the occasion will have the ability to see the museum’s just recently opened exhibit, LGBT Jews in the Federal City, commemorating the “dynamic and varied tapestry of Jewish identity,” the declaration stated.
The museum will open to the general public at midday on Thursday.
