JMM Monthly Zine: Elul 5783
This is the second edition of a new monthly zine by the Jewish Museum of Maryland.
In each issue of the zine, the JMM shares content about the holidays, rituals, and ideas related to each of the months in the Jewish calendar.
This month is Elul, traditionally a time of reflection leading up to next month’s holidays of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simchat Torah.
This year Elul falls between August 16th and September 15th, 2023
You can pick up physical copies of the monthly zine in the Lombard and Lloyd Library or download a PDF version here, and a printable booklet version here. Lombard and Lloyd Library is located in the grassy corner of the JMM’s campus at the intersection of Lombard and Lloyd Streets.
We hope to provide space for people both at the JMM and beyond to share their thoughts and creations as they relate to where we are in the Hebrew calendar.
If you would like to contribute to the zine, please email the JMM’s Communications & Public Art Coordinator, Naomi Rose Weintraub, at nweintraub@jewishmuseummd.org.
