A new Jewish Children's Museum has opened in Brooklyn, I believe under the auspices of the Lubavitcher movement. As is typical of many of their programs, the museum seems to be an effort to educate all people (jews and non-Jews) about Jewish life and tradition and is not meant to push Orhtodox customs on anyone (although I'm sure they're hoping that a visit will inspire gretaer observance among the non-Orthodox).

I am hoping to remember to visit on my next trip to New York with the family. Maybe I can show them pictures of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and tell my children that we have our own Santa Claus who brought joy and happiness to many people, he just wore black instead of red!
