This Sunday!

This Sunday I drove to the City (San Francisco) with my daughter and grand daughter. I had a Groupon for membership at the Jewish Museum at half off and needed to redeem it so this was the day! DH had too much school work to get away and our grandson had come down with the flu. So it turned out to be girls day out.

There is this huge long wall of photos from the local Jewish community!

My grand daughter found George right off as we went looking for the Curious George exhibit.

But first we visited the drop in art activity room where we were given a table of art supplies and were told to create animal figures to decorate a paper tote bag!

I was amazed how GD created her leopard collage entirely by herself! She has quite the artistic eye and imagination!

I created this cat tote to take back to my grandson.

Mom and daughter hard at work.

The children were given a box with questions and cards to find specific

things and places in the exhibit.

I loved how she identified things she knew from having read most of the books

before today.

We were not allowed to take photos in the exhibits.

This is us on our way into the fantastic exhibit of an authentic Torah scroll all

hand written out at the museum by a female scribe. It is quite usual for the Torah

to be written by a woman. We did not get to meet her as she has finished the work,

but we could see the completed Torah and we saw a video of her doing her work

and talking about it. Simply fascinating! There are also many beautiful rolled Torahs to see on display as well.

If you are in the area I cannot recommend this highly enough.

I love the buildings!

Can you tell that she did NOT want her picture taken with Grandma?

There's more to the day but I'll save it for later this week!
