Synagogue Tour
Join a guided tour of our two historic synagogues, the Lloyd Street Synagogue, built in 1845, and B’nai Israel Synagogue, built in 1876. This 45-60 minute experience includes moderate walking and standing and an approximately twenty-step staircase. Accessible entry is available upon request, and a chairlift is available for access to the second-floor sanctuary.
Self-Guided Exhibit Exploration
Visit the David M. Rubenstein Exhibition Arcade and explore the immersive Portals along the perimeter, including Picturing Past & Present and Holocaust Memory in Maryland. Additional rotating displays feature highlights from the JMM collection. Exhibits in the Cohen-Weinberg and R.C. Long Galleries change frequently—check our website or ask at the front desk for current offerings. Staff are happy to provide a brief orientation or answer any questions.
Synagogue Stories
Sit back and enjoy Synagogue Stories: A Tradition of Change on Lloyd Street, JMM’s original short documentary on the histories of Lloyd Street Synagogue and B’nai Israel. The 36-minute film plays every hour, on the hour, in the Arcade. Timing and volume can be adjusted by JMM staff to suit your group’s needs.
Attman’s Lunch in the Arcade
Add a taste of Baltimore’s Jewish food history to your visit! Pre-order from Attman’s Delicatessen—the official deli of the Jewish Museum of Maryland—and enjoy your lunch together in the Arcade. Delivery arrangements can be coordinated through the JMM team.
Step into the Studio
Wrap up your visit by stepping into our new Audiovisual Production Studio, designed for storytelling and reflection. Our Production Studio Technician will guide you through the experience, no matter your level of experience with audio recording. Whether you want to share a memory sparked by your experience or simply reflect on what you learned, we invite you to record a short video or audio message.
Please note that the Availability of offerings may vary due to staffing, scheduling, and other factors. Occasionally, additional experiences may be offered, or certain options may be temporarily unavailable. We will do our best to tailor your visit to your group’s interests and needs.
