10 NOVEMBER 28, 2019
While the Christians are away, it’s time for the Jews to come
out and play. What better way to explore Jewish culture than
to spend the day at the National Museum of American Jewish
History. Dec. 25 is Being __ at Christmas, an event with live
music from Alex & The Kaleidoscope, an interactive show aimed
at children 4-8. So drop off the kids and use the opportunity to
see the “Notorious RBG” exhibit on Supreme Court Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg. l
