The Zim Zoom Family Room is named for a creation moment in Jewish tradition, the mystically understood tzim tzum—or contraction—that allowed space for creation and light. Join us anytime in this cozy family corner filled with interactive art, activities, and periodic pop-up activities and performances.

Using colored yarn, visitors are able to draw visual maps of their self-expression, their heritage, and what fuels their connections, offering a chance to share their dreams, passions, and centers of belonging that are unique to them.
Enjoy our intimate screening booth sharing a regularly changing curated collection of films on Jewish life for family audiences.
Create and explore the symbolism of light on the giant Light Wall, a unique interactive community collaborative activity.
