Join your Or Shalom family as part of our Year of Making Memories Together for a trip to the Jewish Deli Exhibit at the Holocaust Museum in Skokie.

More than a place to get a meal, the Jewish deli is a community forged in food. “I’ll Have What She’s Having”: The Jewish Deli explores how Jewish immigrants, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe, imported and adapted traditions to create a uniquely American restaurant. The exhibition reveals how Jewish delicatessens became a cornerstone of American food culture, and how delis served as a lifeline for many Holocaust Survivors and refugees who came to the United States. Get a taste of deli history through neon signs, menus, advertisements, uniforms, photographs, and film and TV clips. Plus, spark and share your own deli memories with fun photo ops and interactives!

After the exhibit, we'll also have a chance to join our 7th-10th grade J² students for a private talk with a Holocaust survivor speaker.

Itinerary:

Ticket pricing includes access to all exhibits in the building and the private survivor speaker opportunity. We will meet at the museum in Skokie, transportation is not included.
