BRING JERUSALEM TO YOUR COMMUNITY
We are very excited to offer you the opportunity to host our award winning exhibit, A WALK THROUGH JERUSALEM. Originally created for 'Jerusalem 3000', the exhibit enjoyed much acclaim as it traveled around the country, visited by over 5000 children and adults. Now, updated for the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel, we invite you to bring this exhibit to your community.
A WALK THROUGH JERUSALEM is a hands-on, interactive exhibit for children in grades 2 - 7 and families of all ages. Travel through the eight "Gates of Jerusalem" to explore this unique and timeless city. Explore the history, geography and spirit of the city. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of Jerusalem through a variety of activities, poetry, archaeology, music and games.
