The Jewish Daily Forward, March 2010
“The museum’s survey of 350 years of American Jewish history ends with the Contemporary Issues Forum, wherein visitors can respond to a provocative question, such as, “Is intermarriage a threat to religious communities?” They choose a card color-coded to their response – “yes,” “no,” or “um.” There’s also space for messages. The card is then scanned and physically placed on a wall. In this way responses can be tabulated and visitors can read what others feel about the topic, forming a kind of conversation between past and present visitors.”
