ere are shelves with several
mementos of three religions found
in Israel — Baha'i, Christian and
Muslim. Those objects include the
olive wood crucifix, a rosary and
Muslim prayer beads. An introduc-
tion notes that 88 percent of Bay
Area tourists to Israel are non-Jews.
From there, the museum visitor
,walks through a doorway with a
;mezuzah into the main section of
the exhibit, designed to represent a
Jewish home. All of the objects in
the home are either secular or
Jewish.

Friedlander said she included so
/ –few non-Jewish objects in the exhib-
it that she actually had her own wor-
ries about visitors' reactions.
"My concern was that the
Christian people would be upset. I
wanted to make sure they didn't feel
we were minimizing how important
Israel is to them," she said.
Cahn said that making Christians
– reel good is not necessary in a Jewish
museum. "If it were a public muse-
urn [exhibit] on souvenirs from the
Holy Land, they'd have a perfect
right to hang whatever they like."
The Cahns, who describe them-
selves as observant Jews, collected
their souvenirs on three trips to
Israel over the past decade.
Part of their reason for opposing
/- i'the inclusion of the crucifix is reli-
gious. Most Orthodox Jews won't
even enter a church, Cahn said.
But Cahn said she wanted the
crucifix moved to be sensitive to "all
the Jews who have suffered at the
hands of Christians who are not of
good will."
Cahn also emphasized that she
• ,wasn't acting like an upset child tak-
• ing back her toys. She and her hus-
band simply didn't want it to appear
that they were condoning the inclu-
sion of the crucifix at a Jewish insti-
tution.
"They're choosing the cross over
the Jewish items," she said.
