This newly installed ongoing exhibit provides an opportunity to both see the striking and diverse cross-section of the American Jewish Historical Society archives first-hand and gain a deeper understanding of our cultural heritage. Based on theme, this exhibit will rotate several times a year and currently showcases some of the American Jewish Historical Society's most cherished documents, objects, and photographs focusing on the following subjects: the Arts, Ethiopian Jewry, Public Service, Sports, and Jewish Women.
