SAINT JOHN JEWISH HISTORICAL MUSEUM

Menu

Dear Friends:

Due to the current and evolving situation with the COVID19 pandemic, please take note that events planned for April, May and June, including plans to open the Museum Library on Thursdays, the annual observance of Yom Hashoah / Holocaust Memorial Day, Spring Variety Concert and plans for a continuation of our Judaism in Context lecture series, have all been postponed. These events will be rescheduled as appropriate when circumstances permit.

With the cancellation of early season cruise ships, the summer season dates will also be pushed back and will be rescheduled as appropriate when circumstances permit.

Katherine will remain in the office for the present, continuing work on our planned summer exhibition about travel to Palestine in the mid-19^th century and organizing archival material.

We urge our members and friends to take all necessary precautions and wish all of you well as the situation continues.

L'hitraot / See you soon.

Katherine Biggs-Craft

Executive Director / Curator
