Each year, thousands of Jewish young adults join JDC Entwine to explore the world. The places they go impact them, and they in turn create an impact. From Mumbai to Kiev, to Rwanda and Beijing, they learn about the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee's (JDC) century of international humanitarian aid work and how we are part of one Jewish world.
In this traveling exhibition, guests explore stories from Entwine participants in the field. The stories are told using artifacts and an audio guide which provides narration and directions to the guests. Guests will use their own headphones or ones they got at registration. Footprints on the floor will also help guests find their way to the various objects. The final stop of the gallery walk allows guest to input their ideas of what it means to be part of a global Jewish community.
