Too Bad

Too bad. Sounds like Spertus Museum of Judaism in Chicago was doing some interesting and relevant things. But now, due to pressure from the local Chicago Jewish Community, they have shut down an important and much praised exhibit .

A good overview of the issue can be read at the JTA blog - The Telegraph.

If Jewish Museums remain merely a cheering section for the accepted wisdom, why will adults continue to visit? They will remain the pervue of children and Hebrew School children dragged there by their elders.

Pity.
