News from the Jewish Museum ...... the new building ... a Virtual Picnic - Shavuot ..and the song writing group

Now, it is quite sometime since the blog has featured stories from the Manchester Museum’s newsletter, or their blog.*


And that is a shame because there is lots going on, including the latest information on the renovation and building work at the museum, to exciting cultural events, including, Cheetham Cultural Festival’s Spring Fling, Manchester Jewish Museum’s song-writing group, and the Shavuot specials.

So lifting directly from their newsletter,

“On Sunday May 31st, 12-6pm, Cheetham Cultural Festival’s Spring Fling will be celebrating all the great things about our diverse community. This year of course the party is going to be virtual via Facebook and YouTube.

Manchester Jewish Museum’s song-writing group is making a video contribution featuring stories of Jewish people who grew up in Cheetham and went to work in the clothing factories”.

And “the Virtual Picnic - Shavuot


Catch up on the first of our Shavuot specials on our picnic blog and let us know your favourite cheesecake recipes.

Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the time Jewish people were given the Torah on Mount Sinai. Discover why cheesecake is eaten at Shavuot here”.

So the rest as they say is for you to follow the link, and read it all.
