POTSDAM -- A prominent feature of this year's Holiday Open House at the Potsdam Public Museum from 2 to 4 P.M. on Sunday, Dec. 4, will be an exhibit featuring Hanukkah and the Potsdam Jewish heritage.
Included will be many photographs, both contemporary and historic, as well as books and objects. Artifacts include dreidels, menorahs, yamakas, Hanukkah candles and matches, a prayer shawl, also known as a tallit, and a Mezuzah, children's stuff toys, Jewish calendars, among other items.
In Potsdam, the Jewish community worships at the Temple Beth El on Market Street, founded in 1955. Shown are views of the interior and exterior of the Potsdam Temple, dating from 1989.
We are very appreciative of Sharon Williams and Temple Beth El for loaning many items and making this exhibit possible, the museum said in an email.
