The Museum has embarked on an exciting three-year project exploring Nowruz, the Persian New Year celebration of the spring equinox. Our goal is to develop a cultural festival and a Museum exhibition by co-creating these projects with individuals and organizations that celebrate Nowruz.
Discover the beautiful customs and traditions of Nowruz and how the Persian New Year is celebrated around the world. Join us as we welcome spring, new beginnings, and the renewal of nature with this ancient holiday observed by more than 300 million people worldwide. Enjoy traditional music and dance, learn about the Haft-sin table arrangement, and engage in hands-on art activities to honor the spring equinox that kicks off the ‘new day’ celebration.
Take joy in sharing your own culture or discovering the traditions of Hanukkah with friends and neighbors in this partnership event with JCC Los Gatos. Make celebratory candles, watch a storytime in Hebrew, Russian, and English, and enjoy songs performed by Yavneh Day School students. Go on a miracle scavenger hunt and savor a traditional Hanukkah treat!
