May is Jewish American Heritage Month and Historic Preservation month!

What better time to kickstart the Jewish Heritage Museum’s 2023 Annual Appeal?

 

Of course, at the Museum, it is ALWAYS Jewish American Heritage month, and what a year this has been, as we explore and preserve the 300 year history of Jews in Monmouth County!  This year we mounted three important temporary exhibits:  Honoring the 50th anniversary of the ordination of Rabbi Sally Priesand, America’s first female Rabbi; Honoring the 100th anniversary of the founding of Congregation B’nai Israel in Red Bank and Rumson; and just last month, opening a new exhibit on Sigmund Eisner and his family’s contributions to the community, as the country’s largest supplier of US military and Boy Scout uniforms.

 

One of the cornerstones of our success has been in building partnerships through relationships with synagogues, community groups, and individual community members. Your support is key-  JHMOMC relies on its friends and partners to ensure that our doors remain open and that the Museum continues to provide ongoing new exhibits, robust public programs for all ages, films, classes, concerts, and oral histories. 

 

Understanding the importance of a permanent home for your stories, JHMOMC is here to help develop a deeper understanding of the importance of collective memory within the Jewish community.

 

As this fiscal year draws to a close on June 30th, and as we embark on new and exciting efforts to expand the Museum’s reach and impact, we encourage you to consider a generous Annual Appeal gift to support the continuing work and viability of the Museum.

 

You can donate by mailing a check, calling 732-252-6990, or online at www.jhmomc.org. Your gifts in any amount are deeply appreciated – it is your support that matters!

 

With gratitude,

Jessica Solomon,

Executive Director
