Judaica
museum “Wexner Center”
Head
of Museum program – under consideration
Judaica
museum named “Wexner Center” has been working in “Moria”
Jewish Community Center for 5 years. It was created on the basis of
exhibits presented by the Jewish community of Baltimore (USA). The
museum collection contains religious and every day articles connected
with Jewish holidays and different events in the life of the Jews.
This wonderful illustrative material is widely used for the implementation of children’s programs.
The
Museum also enables its staff to use it for classes in which return
to the Jewish tradition and Jewish values takes place in informal
and amicable atmosphere. Museum works with students of Odessa Universities and Institutes who, in their curriculum, have such a subject as “Religion“. As soon as they approach Judaism, they come to our museum to be introduced to the Jewish culture and values.
Within
the museum activities there’s been created a new program “Virtual
Wexner Center” that is focused on Judaica in the form of a
quiz. It may be easily reached on the Internet. In the near future we plan our Wexner Center to become an integral part of the “History of Odessa Jews ”museum.
