Sunday Stories: Jewish Joy in the Bay Area

In honor of the fifteenth anniversary of The CJM, join us for a special edition of Sunday Stories celebrating the unique and ever-evolving history of Bay Area Jewish life. By revisiting past objects on view—from a cheeky camp t-shirt to Chinese/Hebrew mah jongg tiles to an LBGTQ book of prayer—we can examine contemporary adaptations of these objects and look to them as reflections of Bay Area Jewish life as the Jewish story continues to unfold.
