JMM Monthly Zine: Nisan 5784
This is the ninth edition of a monthly zine by the Jewish Museum of Maryland.
In each issue, we share content about the holidays, rituals, and ideas related to the current month in the Jewish calendar.
This month’s zine focuses on the Hebrew month of Nisan.
You can pick up physical copies of the monthly zine in the Lombard and Lloyd Library or download a PDF version here, or 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 at the JMM and beyond to share their thoughts and creations as they relate to where we are in the Hebrew calendar.
The month of Nisan is associated with the Hebrew word nitzan, which means “bud.” This is appropriately named, as Nisan signals the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
Let us welcome Nisan with open hearts and minds, ready to bloom and flourish just like the buds its name calls to mind.
This edition of the zine features a piece about spring, content from our collections related to Passover, information about counting the Omer, and an Omer counter for you to use!
