The Jewish Children's Museum is the largest Jewish -themed children's museum in the United States . It aims for children of all faiths and backgrounds to gain a positive perspective and awareness of the Jewish heritage, fostering tolerance and understanding. The permanent collection features exhibits designed to be both educational and entertaining to children, often employing interactive multimedia. At the miniature golf course on the roof, for example, each hole represents a stage in Jewish life. The museum is located in the Chasidic community of Crown Heights in Brooklyn, New York , near the headquarters of the Lubavitch movement. The museum is run by Tzivos Hashem , a Chabad organization dedicated to the education of Jewish children. The museum opened in 2004 . EXTERNAL LINKS |
