Passover-More Than Matzoh-Visit MET

Passover – More than Matzoh – The Social and Cultural Connection to Egyptian Life
Thursday March 18 Egypt at the Metropolitan Museum


Moms dont let your minds melt. Bring your young kindala, I will focus on you, your kids wont know whats going on, this is for you.
What a better time to refresh and improve your knowledge about Egypt and its culture, than prior to Passover. Learn about Egyptians, their culture and their beliefs in the afterlife. Learn how art historians use ancient artifacts and art to learn about a 5,000 year old society which has long disappeared. Bring new insights about the values Egyptians had in their ancient society and how our Haggadah may refer to some of their beliefs.
We meet at the steps of the Met, bring along snacks for the kids, we will meet while the kids have their snacks.(No one likes anything if they are hungry) Sheryl Intrator Urman, artist and art historian and mother of 2, will lead the a private tour of the Metropolitan's collection of Egyptian art, one of the finest and most comprehensive outside Egypt. Among the highlights is the Temple of Dendur. Thanks to its Egyptian excavations, the Museum is particularly rich in both royal and private art of the Middle Kingdom and early New Kingdom, and in funerary art of the Late Period. Where possible Sheryl will bring in Jewish prespectives to the visit. If you like you can brown bag your lunches and we can go to the cafateria to eat and discuss the lecture. They have kosher yogart, fruits, drinks and more.
