Das J�disches Museum

Das J�disches Museum

The TV Guide

Bright and early this morning, David and I made our way to Das J�disches Museum ? The Jewish Museum ? here in Berlin to spend a few hours taking in as much as we could. I was completely floored by how amazing the museum is in terms of exhibits and architecture alike. The museum is set up in a zig-zag pattern, giving it a very modern look and feel. It is one of the more impressive museums that I have had the fortune to visit.

The museum covers all of Jewish history, obviously leading up to and beyond the tragedy of the German Holocaust. Altho there is much sadness on display, there is far much more impressive art and artifacts from all points in Jewish history. I loved the fun yarmulkes on display in the children?s section of the museum. The men wear yarmulkes at the Seder dinner on Passover at David?s house and I?ve always wanted to wear a Batman yarmulke ? but the Friends yarmulke featured above is pretty sweet, too. Incidentally, I purchased a yarmulke of my own at the museum with a big blue Star of David on it so I can wear it at Passover this Spring when we visit David?s parents. In year?s past, I?ve always worn David?s sisters old Bat Mitzvah yarmulkes ? now I have one of my own. Visiting the Jewish Museum was high on our list of things to do here in Berlin ? I?m glad we were able to spend a full morning taking it all in.

Afterward, we met up with a friend of Jordan?s who lives here in Berlin. Zuzka met us for lunch in Mitte and we had a great time getting to know one another:

She is an absolute doll and we hope to be able to hang out with her again sometime this weekend.

Tonight, David and I are going to see the German version of the Blue Man Group. I have never seen the show before so we thought it?d be a fun thing to do tonight. The weather here in Berlin is warming up day by day, which we LOVE. We?ve only been here for a few days and it?s already starting to feel a bit like home ;) While we miss our family and friends back home, Berlin is taking very good care of us ? we are having a blast!!
