Crafting Stories: A Passover Art Workshop Comes to The Jewish Museum, 3/24

The Jewish Museum is offering Crafting Stories: A Passover Art Workshop on Sunday, March 24 at 1 pm. Kids will be able to create their own Hagaddahs for Passover with author Francine Hermelin Levite. Using pages from Levite's book, My Haggadah: Made It Myself, along with a mix of art materials such as fabric, yarn and buttons, families can explore themes of the holiday through art-making. This program is presented in partnership with Reboot. A Haggadah is the text read at the Passover seder.

The workshop is free with Museum admission and is for children ages 5 and up. The first 40 families to register will receive a free copy of My Haggadah: Made It Myself. Participants can register by emailing familyprograms@thejm.org. Adults are asked to accompany their children. For further information, the public may call 212.423.3200 or visit TheJewishMuseum.org.

Francine Hermelin Levite's career encompasses magazine writing, children's software (the Magic School Bus interactive series), avant-garde film festivals and the graphic design studio she co-founded with her commercial-director husband. Featured in the Kveller blog column, Interviews with Interesting Jews, Levite is recognized for taking her love of design and children's creativity and marrying it with her love of Jewish culture. My Haggadah: Made It Myself is Levite's first book for children.
