Mazel Tov! National Museum of American Jewish History Opens Its Doors


This past weekend, I dusted off the ol' dinner jacket and bow tie to cover the grand opening gala of the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.

The museum is down on Independence Mall, right near Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the Constitution Center.

The musuem is wonderful, and the exhibits and message ring true for anybody with an immigrant story in their family background...

...and that's just about all of us.

The gala featured entertainment by Jerry Seinfeld and Bette Midler and Barbara Streisand made an appearance.

The rack of lamb they fed guests looked fantastic. Me, I was fed corned beef sandwiches along with the other reporters.
