The National Museum of American Jewish History has launched an exciting new initiative inviting the public to help us select the Jewish Americans whose achievements will be recognized in the Museum's Only in America gallery. To participate, go to a new area of our website http://onlyinamerica.nmajh.org.The Only in America gallery will be a signature component of our core exhibition when the new Museum opens in November, 2010. Situated on the first floor of our iconic new building, Only in America will examine the choices, challenges, and opportunities faced by a remarkable group of a token 18 American Jews on their paths to accomplishment.At the interactive Only in America polling website, http://onlyinamerica.nmajh.org, you will have the opportunity to review a list of 218 candidates organized by categories such as "arts and entertainment," "sports," and "religion and thought." You can cast your vote for 3 people in each of the 8 categories, and you will also be able to write-in candidates you do not see included.Please take advantage of this fun and thought-provoking opportunity to have input on who is going to be featured in this area of our core exhibition. Feel free to share this e-mail with your friends and family, as we are counting on widespread participation in this poll in order to plan an exciting and informative experience in the exhibition. Online voting ends on August 6, 2009.
