The Jewish Children’s Museum celebrated its 14th Anniversary Gala celebration at the Brooklyn museum. Honorees included New York City Mayor de Blasio, Professor Alan Dershowitz, and NYC Planning Commissioner Joseph Douek. The memorial award was in memory of Maurice Rosenof Rogoff & Co.
The evening highlighted the museum’s success with more than 3 million visitors over the past 14 years. Building bridges between diverse cultures and fostering understanding through education is “the key which allows children of all faiths and backgrounds to learn about another culture and helps unite them, bringing peace and light into the world,” said Rabbi Yerachmiel Benjaminson, the museum’s executive director.
