For the Washington\, DC exhibition\, the Capital Jewish Museum incorporates new research and works from its collection to highlight the local Jewish community’s contributions to deli culture. Additions to the galleries include photographs\, menus\, and ephemera from local Jewish-owned delicatessens. \n\n\n\nThere will be time to eat lunch at the museum prior to our tour and visit the gift shop. If time allows\, you may explore the main museum exhibits. You are welcome to bring your own lunch or purchase a kosher deli boxed lunch from Char Bar for an additional cost of $20.00 (includes tax and delivery). Each boxed lunch comes with: a sandwich (choice of turkey\, pastrami\, chicken salad\, grilled chicken\, tuna or egg salad)\, potato chips\, fruit\, cookie\, and a bottle of water. \n\n\n\nNote: This trip is limited to 22 participants on a first come\, first served basis. Tickets are transferable\, but not refundable.  \n\n\n\nBus departs from the J at 12:30pm and returns approximately 4:30pm. \n\n\n\n$48 for exhibit & transportation only\, bring your own bag lunch or for additional $20 Boxed Lunch provided (see options while registering).
