We’ll be taken on a virtual tour of the museum with three exhibits on display highlighted: Movers and Shakers in Early Anchorage, On the Wings of Eagles: Alaska’s Contribution to Operation Magic Carpet and Refuge in the Last Frontier: The Evolution of the Alaska Development Plan.

6:30pm (for all ages): Jerusalem Peacebuilders Shabbat – In-Person or Live Stream
Shabbat Services are on Friday night at 6:30pm. Attend in-person or virtually. To watch services virtually on our streaming page, please click here.
You’re invited to a profoundly moving Shabbat service on Friday night as a group of teens from Israel and the Palestinian territories grace us with their stories after having spent the previous week at the Jerusalem Peacebuilders Interfaith Citizenship Institute. The purpose of this camp, which takes place outside of Houston, is to promote transformational encounters through a residential camp for Israeli, Palestinian and American teenagers. Dialogue is facilitated by United States diplomats, former Israeli and Palestinian combatants, artists, and religious leaders from each faith. These brave souls have committed themselves to learning from each other despite the ongoing context of hatred and violence that surround them every day. Learn about this groundbreaking camp and how it has transformed these peace-minded teens as our guests will share their experiences.
We will also honor Fred Pevow, Paula Goldstein and Charlotte Robinson at services for their special birthdays. Fred is turning 60 and Paula 85 on August 8th, and Charlotte will be 90 on August 12th.
