Week XNUMX school holiday

Come and decorate our large gazebo!

You can spend a pleasant autumn holiday at the Danish Jewish Museum when we decorate our large arbor together with string lights and paper clips. In the run-up to the autumn holidays, we erect a log cabin in front of the museum and invite creativity inside the cabin. Here you can color drawings and cut decorations, which you can hang up in the cabin afterwards - or take home.

There will be some tastings of the museum's own products – tea, chocolate and other things, which will allow you to taste the history and bring to life the tradition of eating together in the tabernacle during the Jewish holiday, which is called the Tabernacle.

This year, the autumn holiday falls right after the Jewish holiday, Sukkot, which is also called the Feast of Tabernacles. It is a central and important religious holiday. Here you remember the Israelites' 40-year exodus through the desert from slavery in Egypt, where they had no permanent house to live in.

According to tradition, a gazebo is therefore built once a year, from which you can see the starry sky through a roof of palm leaves. Here the family gathers and eats together. This has also been the case in Denmark, where the climate is more for small houses with a roof that can be raised to look at the stars. 

Time: Saturday 15 October - Sunday 23 October from 11-13. However, it is closed on Monday. 

Location: On the forecourt of the Danish Jewish Museum in Bibliotekshaven
