SUMMARY:Crossroads Opening Day
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Jewish Museum of Maryland on Sunday\, April 12\, to be among the first to see Jews of Maryland at the Crossroads of Identity. Curated by Judy Margles\, JMM’s original core exhibition provides a statewide historical exploration of social\, cultural\, and religious identity through the lens of Maryland’s Jewish experience. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is the 1826 Maryland Jew Bill\, granting Jews the right to hold public office—an early victory for religious freedom in America. This milestone paved the way for deeper Jewish participation in civic life\, yet also underscores the broader struggles for equality\, as racial discrimination against black and marginalized communities remained deeply entrenched. Through immersive storytelling\, artifacts\, archival materials\, and original short films\, the exhibition illuminates the complexities of religious and cultural integration while celebrating Jewish resilience and contributions to the nation’s history over time and into the present. \nNote: JMM Friends and Members are invited to preview the exhibit and hear from the curator at our Members Morning Preview at 10 AM. Not a JMM Member yet? You can learn more about our Friends and Members programs here: Membership – Jewish Museum of Maryland. \nParking: Street parking is available in the neighborhood. Visitors are strongly encouraged to read parking signs with care. \nFor questions\, please contact info@jewishmuseummd.org or 410.732.6400. \nRegistration is not required. The Museum will be open to the public from 12 – 4. \n
