A beloved tradition, warmly shared. π―οΈ
Mah jongg holds a special place in American Jewish life. The Museum of Jewish Heritage described it as a game that "became a Jewish-American tradition,"[1] and the National Mah Jongg League was founded in 1937 by a group of Jewish women.[2] JewishMahj.com is a warm name for community games, history and learning.
π―οΈ A history worth telling
The Jewish Museum Milwaukee recounts how the League's card spread as women carried it to places like the Catskills and Miami.[2] The Museum of Jewish Heritage devoted an exhibition, Project Mah Jongg, to the game in 2010β2011.[1]
Today, synagogues, community centers and Jewish federations host games; Houstonia lists the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston among local hosts.[5]
