Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.
In 2001, the Ford Motor Company
Fund also gave a $2 million grant as
the catalyst for the first Arab-
American National Museum in the
country in Dearborn.
Shalom Street is currently in the
midst of a Founders campaign to raise
money for its operation and endow-
ment, typical in the museum world,
says Weitzer. And when that's com-
plete, they will start a Friends of
Shalom Street campaign.

Shalom Street has additional goals inside
and outside the Jewish community.
After visiting children's museums in
the United States and Israel for the past
three years, Blumenstein says Shalom
Street fits into the growing interest in
diversity around the country.
"Here's where children from schools in
the area can learn what it is to be Jewish
— about the life in Jewish life," she says.
"We have a wonderful Holocaust
museum," Rabbi Isaacs adds. "Shalom
Street will now give younger children
a chance to learn the values of Judaism
so when they visit the Holocaust
museum they will have a deeper
understanding of what was lost.
"Shalom Street exposes kids to
Judaism as a celebration," he says. "It
can be the address for Jewish and non-
Jewish children to explore Judaism in
an exciting, dynamic way."
Not only the Jewish community rec-
ognizes this importance. When Brad
Simmons, controller and community
outreach manager of the Ford Motor
Company Fund, visited Shalom Street
before it was completed, he was awed
by what he saw.
"I was extremely impressed with the
plans and layout of the exhibits," he
says. "It is so unique and entertaining
and educational that it's potentially a
great model for other organizations
considering exhibits that both enter-
tain and instruct children. Even adults
will find it very appealing."
Esther Netter, one of many mentors
and guides to Shalom Street, is the
executive director of the first Jewish
children's museum, the Zimmer
Children's Museum in Los Angeles.
"Shalom Street is a great opportuni-
ty for the Detroit Jewish community
to offer significant programs to public
schools and different communities, as
in Dearborn (with its large Arab com-
munity)," she says.
"You've created a fun place for all
kids to share Jewish culture without
judgment. That helps us know about
people who are different. Here's an
opportunity for the Jewish community
to share, teach and collaborate with
other institutions and people."
Netter also sees opportunities
beyond Shalom Street.
"A children's museum is an opportu-
nity to grow lay leadership in the
Jewish community," she says. "It's a
great place to engage young leaders
and their children."
Many Jews supportive of the arts are
not yet engaged in the JCC or the
Federation. Netter found her museum
was a way to bring people back into
the Jewish community.
Along the way, other advice came
from Steven Brand of Akron, Ohio, a
year-long consultant who guided the
staff from a museum perspective; Bill
Booth of COSI (children's science
museum) in Ohio; Derse Exhibits of
Milwaukee, an award-winning interna-
tional designer and fabricator of muse-
urns that built many Shalom Street
exhibits; and staff at the Henry Ford
Museum in Dearborn.
If a trial run with a handful of chil-
dren is any indication, Shalom Street
captures attention and teaches at the
same time — and it's fun, too.
"It's time for families to come and
experience Shalom Street," Rabbi
Isaacs says. "We're ready!" ❑
Suggested donations: $4 per per-
son; $18 per family; group school
rates available.
In January, Shalom Street will
only be open from 1-6 p.m.
Sundays.
