Jewish American Heritage Month

"The Charles and Lynn Schusterman Collection highlights three centuries of Jewish decorative arts and ritual objects, ranging from Hanukkah lamps to embroidered silk."

"The Jewish Museum is an art museum committed to illuminating the complexity and vibrancy of Jewish culture for a global audience. Through distinctive exhibitions and programs that present the work of diverse artists and thinkers, we share ideas, provoke dialogue, and promote understanding."

"From biblical era storytellers to world-renowned 19th century German composers to Tin Pan Alley’s chart-topping songwriters, generations of groundbreaking Jewish artists, thinkers, writers and musicians have used the power of expression to make sense of 3000 years of Jewish history, experience and migration."

Highlights and selected objects from RISD Museum's exhibition.

"A three-night documentary that explores 350 years of Jewish American history. Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker David Grubin, THE JEWISH AMERICANS is a journey through time, from the first settlement in 1654 to the present. It is about the struggle of a tiny minority who make their way into the American mainstream while, at the same time, maintaining a sense of their own identity as Jews. Focusing on the tension between identity and assimilation, THE JEWISH AMERICANS is quintessentially an American story, which other minority groups will find surprisingly familiar."

"A virtual symposium that explores a range of topics related to the exhibition “Afterlives: Recovering the Lost Stories of Looted Art.”"

"In November 2021, leading experts from universities, archives, libraries and museums gathered on an international (virtual) stage alongside members of the public, veterans and their families, and Holocaust survivors and their descendants to explore the experience of the Jewish soldier in World War II."

"The Jewish American Heritage Collection provides over 400 public television and radio programs from 1945 to 2017 that focus on social, cultural, and religious aspects of Jewish life in America."
