Israel Museum Offers Free Children’s Activities for Hanukkah in Jerusalem

The Israel Museum invites families to festive Hanukkah activities with free admission for children.

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is preparing for a vibrant Hanukkah celebration, offering visitors a series of engaging family-friendly activities. This year, the museum is introducing free admission for children throughout the entire Hanukkah period (not to be confused with other paid activities), made possible thanks to a generous donation from Linda and William Hechter in memory of Bessie Rose Guberman from Winnipeg, Canada.

A wide range of workshops for children will take place, including a circus show, a creative writing workshop, and a special meeting with a Torah scribe. Additional activities include crafting clay jugs and menorahs, Hanukkah story readings, and much more.

The full program of events is available on the museum’s website: https://www.imj.org.il/
Advance registration is required.
