JHSM celebrates the history of 
Hastings Street (Detroit’s first 
Jewish neighborhood) with an 
exhibit at the Detroit Historical 
Museum, April-July 2024. To 
source objects for it, JHSM 
is holding a second heirloom 
roadshow on Sunday, April 30, 
from 3-5 p.m. at The Hawk in 
Farmington Hills (29995 W
. 12 
Mile Road).
According to JHSM President 
Jeannie Weiner, “We had so 
much interest at the first road-
show in December, we decided 
to do it again. We invite the 
community to join us, with or 
without family heirlooms, and 
watch the fun, hosted by our 
fabulous emcee, Gail Offen.
”
Offen will highlight a selec-
tion of items from JHSM and 
the DHM’s Jewish collections, 
including Fanny Butzel’s 1861 
wedding fan and a WWI Jewish 
Welfare Board campaign poster.
Heirloom Roadshow 
Committee Chair Barbara Cohn 
noted, “The best part of the 
first roadshow was seeing the 
community come together and 

hearing the objects’ stories. In 
several instances, the December 
attendees crowdsourced infor-
mation about their treasures’ 
provenances.
”
On April 30, six heirloom 
experts, with expertise rang-
ing from Yiddish and Hebrew 
texts and Judaica, to jewelry 
and home décor, will be on 
hand to evaluate the commu-
nity’s treasures. Elayne Gross 
Photography will have a mobile 
photo studio set up to photo-
graph objects.
JHSM Executive Director 
Catherine Cangany, Ph.D., 
hopes to find items to showcase 
in the 2024 exhibit. “The theme 
is everyday life, 1880 to 1930, 
so we are looking for objects of 
all kinds, from letters and signs 
in Yiddish, to kitchen imple-
ments and Judaica. That family 
heirloom gathering dust in your 
attic just might be what we have 
been waiting for.
