Our *Majses* (Yiddish for “stories”) Polish Jewish stories series is an innovative family education program based on the Taube Center’s pedagogy of object-based learning and educational methodologies, which we have been developing since 2012. The goal is to imbue Jewish ritual objects with the seed of a family *majse*, inspiring families to create their own memories and traditions at home. At the beginning of the series, each participating family receives a Majses Tool Box, where they can then keep all the ritual objects, recipes, and stories we create together during our sessions. Majses is co-organized with the Warsaw JCC. 

Your donation will enable us to provide 18 families with a Majses Tool Box this year, each with 12 objects.

MAJSES:  OUR POLISH JEWISH STORIES

The Taube Center is committed to strengthening the bonds between Jews and Jewish communities worldwide.

The Taube Center provides innovative educational programs and extensive resources with the aim to enrich Jewish life in Poland and to connect Jews from around the world with their Eastern European heritage. The Taube Center has developed an array of programs, which serve the Jewish communities in Poland and engage audiences from around the world. Constantly expanding its network of partner organizations, the Center has recently become a member of the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage. Taube Jewish Heritage Tours Taube Jewish Heritage Tours is a mission-driven, on-the-ground Jewish heritage tour service based in Poland. Our professional team of academics, guides, educators, and community leaders provide meaningful and engaging customized tours of Poland's multicultural landscape, infusing each encounter with illuminating personal stories and insights from those engaged in Polish Jewish life and committed to the preservation of Polish Jewish heritage. TJHTalks Series Having suspended our flagship program, Taube Jewish Heritage Tours, we launched TJHTalks in April 2020 as an interactive way to maintain contact with past and future tour participants and to broaden the Center's audience. Yerusha: Professional Development Program The year-long program, now in its second year, distinguishes itself from other Jewish professional development opportunities in that the operative language is Polish and all workshop facilitators are based in Poland. Resource and Educational Materials The Taube Center has developed a sophisticated set of resource materials in several languages that support our educational programs and are especially valuable for our study tour program. Our publications have been disseminated at the POLIN Museum and the Galicia Jewish Museum and through Polish embassies and cultural institutions around the world.
