Desc	Programming in 2019 centered around museum planning, exhibition design, and public programs and outreach in support of the new museum. We moved the historic 1876 synagogue to its new permanent location at 3rd & F Streets and began restoration of the first floor; completed architectural design with SmithGroup architects; and completed concept design and began design development with teams from Evidence Design and Potion media to design the our exhibitions, public spaces and interactive experiences. We also engaged more than 2,600 adults and students in programs and events throughout the region, including walking tours, panel discussions, lectures, and workshops.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission:	The Capital Jewish Museum (CJM) explores the past, present and future of Jewish life in the nation's capital to inspire audiences to connect, reflect and act: connect across families and diverse communities, reflect on the relevance of history to today, and act on behalf of their communities and values. The CJM was incorporated in 1965 as the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving local Jewish history. In 1969, the JHSGW saved the city's oldest synagogue by moving it to the corner of Third & G Streets, NW, where it was restored and opened to the public and used for exhibits and educational programs. In 2018, the JHSGW adopted the new name of the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum in preparation to build and launch a new public museum. In January 2019, the CJM moved the historic synagogue to the corner of Third & F Streets, where it will become the centerpiece of the new museum. Currently, the CJM is preparing to start construction in September, 2020 and continuing to refine inaugural exhibition and program plans. Although the historic synagogue is closed during the construction process, the CJM continues to engage the public through a variety of educational programs. The CJM's collections of historic artifacts, photographs, documents, and oral histories continue to grow and are accessible for researchers in the community and around the world.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Services: (Continued)	We partnered with dozens of cultural organizations, schools, and synagogues and launched several new program initiatives oriented toward teens and families.
