Seth Belkin

Very enlightening. Visiting the synagogues was awe inspiring and I am hoping to visit again, soon.

Simon Gorenstein

It's hardly Jewish.

Moshe Drukman

I went with a camp, and the guides made it very interactive for them. The Houdini exhibit was interesting.

Beautiful piece of history. The guided tour is highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed and was very touched by the Museum.

Joyce Burman

It was a very positive visit for a most interesting lecture on Clothing manufacturing that took place in Baltimore. We are so lucky to have been a part.

Carroll Ganier

Inconvient hours make it hard to visit.

Jeffrey Smith

Interesting exhibits. Well lead tour of the shuls

Anne Kennedy

One of the stops With Open Door Baltimore. We hope to get into the museum but that was not part of the deal. The tool was very good and the docents were nice and knowledgeable

Arthur Brown

The special exhibit on Houdini is excellent

michele rosenberg

Great programs

Jym Right

Great tour and enjoyed the Living on... Street and the Harry Houdini exhibition.

Henry London

What a great experience it was for my wife and I. Our son and his wife, and their 1 year old child. We were there on Christmas day. The first thing they asked us each to put a bag together of items. These bags were going to be distributed later that day to the homeless. What better way to start a tour of The Jewish Museum of Maryland than to do a mitzvah! After that we took our time walking around, and learning the history and looking at the exhibits. Great time!

Surprisingly interesting to this first time Gentile visitor. Particularly of interest to those who find urban history, such as early settlements by immigrants, fascinating. The museum is very professional yet not at all crowded when i was there. Definitely plan to take the free tour offered at three times each day, but the tour covers the synagogues, not the exhibits, so feel free to see the exhibits before the tour. Also plan to have lunch at Attman's deli before or after your visit; it's across the street and forms part of the history. I would allow a couple hours tops for the exhibits and an hour for the tour.

Emmanuel Price

Two of the oldest synagogues in the USA. Great history.

Laurie DeWitt

The cool thing about this museum is that it's not just a history of Judaism in Maryland, it's really a history of immigrants of all realms into Baltimore. I really liked their main exhibit, which is visually interesting with voices and quotes from people who grew up in the mass migration era into the city. The synagogue was also pretty cool, with the basement and the excavated Mikvah.

On Tuesday evening, 4/30/13,the residents' of Weinberg Village, Owings Mills, had the pleasure of attending the Living History Performance starring Terry Nicholetti as Bessie Bluefeld. Our evening started with a ride on a school bus with Rachel as our "guide" and hostess. Our sincerest thank you to Rachel and to the Jewish Museum for providing the bus, and the opportunity to be at this Trunk show. We are from New York, living here just 7 years, From our friends we knew of Bessie and the Bluefield Caterers. Most of these neighbors had their special affairs there. But, watching this amazing woman portraying Bessie, we felt as though we too were part of these times. The end was so heartwarming, hearing from her descendants and their memories. Thank you so much for inviting us, Sincerely, Jack & Judy Weinstein

Fascinating exhibits. Great local history and fascinating information on Jewish Americana

Excellent.

This museum is set between the oldest US synagogue (which I visited) and a subsequent synagogue built by a splinter congregation (sadly, didn't have time to see). All together it was quite interesting. The museum has changing exhibits.

Brandon Gray

Outstanding religious museum for all ages.

Andy Flacks

Great Houdini exhibit until January

Fascinating tour of the past and present
