Sisterhood Without Walls: Spring Tour
Thursday, May 13, 7:45 pm
Please join us for an exciting virtual tour of the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee! The museum's education director will "walk" us through a tour of The Settlement Cookbook, written by a group of German Jewish women to respond to the needs of Eastern European Jews coming to Milwaukee at the turn of the 20th Century. The Settlement Cookbook tour offers us an opportunity to explore issues of immigration, acculturation, and the politics of inner Jewish conflict. For more information and registration for this free, interactive, and thought-provoking program, please click here.
