Space Programs Available for your Viewing Pleasure
Over the past year, our exhibit “Jews in Space: Members of the Tribe in Orbit” underwent the transformative process of a virtual world. We held more programs online and in doing so, recorded the events for posterity. Now, if you want to look back at some of the past programs, it is easier than ever!
