& Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg”;
the high-profile induction of Justice
Ginsburg into our Ed Snider Only In
America Hall of Fame; surging atten-
dance from a diverse public thanks to
innovative promotional and pricing
strategies; exciting new partnerships
and public programs reflecting the
diversity of the Jewish community;
and a highly anticipated special
exhibition (“The Evidence Room,”
developed for the Venice Architecture
Biennale based on testimony from
Deborah Lipstadt’s defamation trial
about Holocaust denialism).

And then the COVID-19
pandemic forced us and everyone
else to close our doors to the public
on March 13, 2020, effectively
cutting off our momentum at the
knees, eliminating almost all earned
revenue, and slashing philanthropic
giving. Being in Chapter 11 made NMAJH
ineligible for PPP loans. With so
much funding needed for dealing
with the health and economic conse-
quences of the pandemic, support
for cultural institutions was — and
remains — hard to come by.

Even philanthropists and founda-
tions who decided to support
educational, cultural and leadership
development institutions during this
challenging year were not inclined
to fund museums, and certainly not
NMAJH. We frequently heard the
refrain, “we don’t want to throw good
money after bad,” assuming that our
Chapter 11 status meant we were failing.

We were not. But we were in a precar-
ious state and determined to succeed.

NMAJH was recognized by
congressional resolution in 2010
as the only museum anywhere
dedicated exclusively to the history
of American Jews. Furthermore,
the museum leads Jewish American
Heritage Month. JAHM was estab-
lished through the bipartisan efforts
of U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter and U.S.

Rep. Deborah Wasserman Schultz
in 2006 and has continued by presi-
dential declarations every May since
then. Our work must continue. And
it does.

In 2020, just two-and-a-half
months into the pandemic, NMAJH
launched the first-ever, all-virtual
JAHM effort in cooperation with 50
other Jewish museums and cultural
institutions around the country. We
would not let the pandemic stop us
from this important work. In 2020,
our theme for the month was appro-
priately, “Crises and Resilience.”
It was our first serious attempt at
virtual programming. We reached
nearly 400,000 people.

Around the same time, we imple-
mented a furlough for two-thirds
of our professional staff who were
ultimately laid off, taking our staff
down to just 11 full-time employees,
but we were able to double down
on our virtual programming, online
store sales and planning.

In the “year of COVID,” NMAJH
presented 30 original online
programs and 30 programs with
partners. We have reached nearly
one million participants during the
past year with more than 20,000
viewers tuning in for each program
on average. We even held a virtual
ceremony and gala inducting two
great Jewish illusionists — Harry
Houdini, z”l and David Copperfield
— into our hall of fame while
reaching nearly 200,000 viewers and
raising $830,000.

We more than doubled sales
year-over-year from what became our
online-only museum store. Popular
culture zeitgeist hits were an integral
part of this success story: “Yo Semite”
T-shirts which we had carried since
2011 that exploded when President
Trump mispronounced the name
of the National Park last summer;
RBG-themed books, stickers, clothes
and bobble-head dolls; and shirts
and mugs with Bernie Sanders’
now-famous Inauguration mitten
meme. Plus the beautiful menorahs,
mezuzahs, ketubot and other Judaica
that we are known for.

We engaged in scenario planning,
working on a variety of plans for a
number of “possible futures” for after
we emerge from bankruptcy and the
pandemic. And we are coming up
with a set of plans for renewal of the
museum and ways to capitalize on
our newly found digital expertise.

We have developed relationships and
joint ideas with a number of national
institutions — Jewish, secular and of
other faiths.

So, we not only survived — we
have thrived. We have recaptured
our pre-pandemic momentum and
then some, and we are confidently
looking forward to an even brighter
future. As all of us begin to reclaim our
lives and enter a new year (for Jews,
Pesach signals the start of a new
year just as Rosh Hashanah and Tu
B’Shvat do), we pray for freedom
from the bondage of the isolation,
fear, and despair brought about by
the year of the bondage of COVID.

At the museum, we want to bring
back our dedicated staff, launch new
exhibitions and programs, and open
our galleries for shared in-person
experiences. And remember those we
have lost to the pandemic.

As we dream together about the
better days ahead, we hope that you
and many others will journey with
the museum out of Mitzrayim — the
narrow place of the hardship and
difficulty of the modern day plague
— to one of openness and light, of joy
and renewal.

Pesach sameach! l
