At the Jewish Museum of Maryland: "Beyond Chicken Soup"

Will Kirk

This conversation originally aired on October 21, 2016. 

Midday at the Museum:  In our second segment today focused on notable new museum exhibits, Tom is joined in the studio by Dr. Marvin Pinkert, the Executive Director of the Jewish Museum of Maryland, for a conversation about the work of the JMM and one of its popular new exhibits: "Beyond Chicken Soup: Jews and Medicine in America."  The exhibit examines how medicine -- from traditional therapies to ritual procedures to public health practice -- has shaped the ways Jews are perceived, and the way they perceive themselves, for centuries.
 
The exhibit will be on view at the Jewish Museum of Maryland through January 16th, 2017.
