CHAIM 20

… I can’t thank you enough for hosting our CAREaVAN group on our visit to San Jose, on Juneteenth. As we say on Passover… Dayenu

It would have been enough for you to open the museum and let the teens go through, but you added your expertise and commentary

It would have been enough had you added your expertise and commentary, but you also invited Ruth [Litwin] to come tell her story… and she accepted

It would have been enough had you invited Ruth to come tell her story… and she accepted, and the two of you made our visit memorable. It was Enough, Dayenu! Perfect Day

CHAIM 20

CHAIM contains a wealth of information for students and adults alike. We had 7th graders and their parents, 9th graders, and adults tour the exhibit. Participants were totally engaged with the material, stopping to read long passages to understand the events. The bold headlines and highlighting draw participants’ eyes to major topics giving them a starting place to their learning. Accompanying materials hit the highlights. There are activities for different learning types including those who learn best from pictures, articles and books.

Each group that toured the museum came away with new facts and understandings of a wide variety of topics from life before the war, events that led up to the war, and what we can do living in our present. This is a wonderful exhibit and I cannot wait to book it for next year and present it to an even wider audience in my community. Highly recommend.
