I started off this week with a visit to the Jewish Museum. It might be safe to say that this will be one of my favorite museums in Berlin. The museum covers thousands of years of Jewish history throughout two buildings—one a former courthouse and the other and modern building designed by Daniel Libeskind. Like the DDR museum, the museum was interactive. Rather than simply reading wall postings you could open up drawers, sit and watch videos, write wishes on pomegranate shaped paper (a symbol of luck/ prosperity) and hang it on a tree, play in the kids area… I enjoyed this museum a lot and will be making a return trip soon….
P.S. I couldn’t help but think of one of my best friends Nina while I was here… sending my Jewish love a hug!
