Preservation Detectives: ‘Chocolate Meltdown!’

One of the wishes expressed during Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, is that the coming year will be sweet. The Museum at Eldridge Street, the 1887 landmark synagogue where many Jewish immigrants worshiped, will help assure that the coming holiday gets off to a delicious start with this program, which inaugurates another season of “Preservation Detectives” tours in which children 4 to 12 view artifacts, investigate neighborhood lore and sleuth their way into the past. Young participants will make their own chocolate treats, create art, go on a scavenger hunt and learn about another edible that plays a role in Rosh Hashana: carrots.
