It was a very enjoyable experience, I had no idea about the Jewish and Italian immigrants early in the history of Baltimore. The synagogues and retellings of earlier stories are very informative and impactful. Our tour guide Joyce was very warm and helpful, narrating buried stories. It was not a big museum, but a very niche place to visit.

Fascinating deep history of Judaism in Baltimore & in Maryland generally. Docents spend lots of time offering detailed explanations. Tour includes 2 synagogues as well as the permanent & special exhibits at the museum. Museum has lots of things for kids to do, too.

Really interesting to see the history of Lombard & Pratt streets and to read the stories of the immigrant experience in the early 20th century.

This museum is set between the oldest US synagogue (which I visited) and a subsequent synagogue built by a splinter congregation (sadly, didnt have time to see). All together it was quite interesting. The museum has changing exhibits.

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 Attmans deli before or after your visit; its 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.

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

The cool thing about this museum is that its not just a history of Judaism in Maryland, its 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.

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!

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
