The new Contemporary Jewish Museum opened last year, and it’s already become a Christmas Day tradition. Offering free admission to a warm, inviting space filled with great art, Target Family Day welcomes those who don’t celebrate, those who do, and those who make up their minds on a year-by-year basis depending on whom they’re seeing or what family they’re staying with. This year, two very cool exhibits are still standing — “Jews on Vinyl” and “Sendak on Sendak” — and the day offers fun stuff for kids, including the opportunity to jump behind a 10-foot screen and create larger-than-life shadow puppets with Wild Things characters.
