A Hebrew course for young beginners! First an expedition through the three floors of the permanent exhibition is undertaken and together we search for ALL of the Hebrew letters—on the walls, in the showcases, on the objects, in the elevator and even outside of the museum. This educational program thus links fascinating information about Jewish history and culture to the 22 Hebrew letters. We learn a few, very simple sentences that can always come in handy and write our names—naturally with Hebrew letters!More
We travel with the photographer Ze’ev Aleksandrowicz to Jerusalem and, on top of that, through all four floors of the museum! Herr Aleksandrowicz was born in 1905 in Kraków, studied in Vienna and traveled to the Holy Land a few times.

We store all of them in an imaginative package—a very special kind of “emergency kit!”More
