The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County presents The Jewish-American Experience: Connecting Jewish Institutions Together, a four-part series of Zoom programs that feature representatives from Jewish Museums
throughout the country. The program schedule includes The Jewish Museum of the American West, January 16, 2022, at 2PM; The Museum of Jewish Southern Experience, January 23, 2022, at 2PM; Washington State Jewish Historical Society, February 6, 2022, at 3PM (note different time); and the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest, February 27th at 2PM. Admission is $5 per program, or $15 for the series.

Beginning with the brave twenty-three Jewish people who arrived in New Amsterdam (New York) from Recife, Brazil in 1654, America became the Promised Land for religious freedom and economic opportunity. Many immigrants settled in or near the Atlantic port cities of the United States, but many moved westward in search of gold and land, thus establishing Jewish roots in varying parts of the country.

In this series, The Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County welcomes Jewish institutions from around the United States to share their histories and discuss the impact they make on their local Jewish communities. Learn about the initiatives these Jewish institutions are taking to further preserve the vast Jewish-American story. From the comfort of your home, via Zoom, meet and engage with representatives from different Jewish museums and historical societies that have been established throughout this country.

For more information and to receive the Zoom link, please call the Museum at 732-252-6990 or visit our website at http://www.jhmomc.org.
