Get Your Chef On

In the wake of our amazingly successful and stupendously fun spring program Iron Chef: Passover, we're excited to announce Iron Chef: Sukkot! 

Sukkot, a fall holiday centered on the harvest, provides the perfect opportunity to whip up a little competition. Four teams will compete in a quick-fire cook off featuring a secret, Sukkot inspired ingredient fresh from the fields of Kayam Farm.

Join the action by emailing erosemondhoerr@jewishmuseummd.org or just show up for a night of laughing, drinking, and (hopefully) good food.

Something fishy is going on at the JMM! We’re expanding the Museum’s hours and adding new tours and programs!

Beginning October 21, the Museum will be open from 10am to 5pm, Sunday through Thursday.  Tours of the historic Lloyd Street Synagogue, third oldest synagogue building in the US, will now be available five times daily.

Nina Beth Cardin, the Baltimore Orchard Project and Locally Sourced Pie Making Demo

Local Rabbi, Environmentalist and Social Justice Activist Nina Beth Cardin introduces us to the Baltimore Orchard Project, which aims to plant, grow, glean and share fruit throughout Baltimore.  She will tell us about the project, how people are getting involved, and then we will have a locally sourced fruit pie-making demo (and tasting!).  Rabbi Cardin is featured in the Chosen Food exhibit, which can also be toured during the program.

The Sol Food bus is here!  All the way from North Carolina, the Sol Food urban farmers are touring the country teaching about sustainability and healthy eating.  Catch them while they visit Baltimore and learn all about sprouting, gardening, canning and more.  Activities will take place at the Jewish Museum of Maryland and at our neighboring organization, the McKim Center – 1120 East Baltimore Street – where we are helping to start an eco friendly nature play space and orchard.  

From Lippman Pike to Hank Greenberg, Jews have always been a part of America's favorite pastime.  Join us with local baseball expert, Barry Steelman, for a talk on the great Jewish baseball players of today and yesterday and how Jews have impacted stadium development, rules, racial integration and more throughout MLB history.
