I really don't have the words to describe how I felt about this museum of Jewish Heritage. My father is Jewish and our family immigrated from Hungary and Russia.

There was such a sense of pride as we walked through the beautiful exhibits. From Culture and Traditions to Celebrity and Philanthropy, this museum covered it all.

As we approached the Holocaust memorial, I did my best to explain it to Martin in kid terms. "There are bad people in this world, that do very bad things... but the good news is that there are more good people in this world, so good usually wins"

When we approached the exhibit that showed the role that Jews played in the Civil Rights movement, I became overwhelmed....

As a biracial child with African American AND Jewish heritage, I was thrilled to show Martin how even small groups of people can make a difference. How people that were once killed for their differences, can show to be the strongest of all. He can be the president of the United States, he could run a movie studio (9 out of the 10 major studios are ran by Jews, you know!) he can do anything. He has the strength of his ancestors running through his veins and he should be PROUD!

"Okay mommy, I'm proud... now let's go to the kid section"

The Skirball museum has simply the most unique exhibits, for kids, that I have EVER seen (and I have seen many). It is Noah's Ark and it is filled with hands on activities, almost entirely made from recycled products.
