Celebrating Freedom and Jewish-American History
We are excited to share ways to come together as a community to celebrate freedom and the history of Jews in America.
- Head to the Capital Jewish Museum’s open house on July 4th to learn about Jewish Revolutionary War history and create an activity bag to use while waiting for the fireworks to begin.
- Share these history tidbits from Parents Magazine with your child: 17 Fun Fourth of July Facts for Kids to Explain the History of the Holiday.
- Check out these biographies of Jewish Americans to read as a family.
No matter how you celebrate America’s Independence Day, stay healthy and hydrated.
Happy 4th of July!
Sarah
