Jewish american art, history and heritage

My partners in the creation of this exhibit are

Irene Levin/Information Specialist

Temple Emanu El, Palm Beach, Florida)

Most of the material comes from the American Jewish Archives, Cincinnati, the American Jewish Historical Society, Waltham, and the B'nai B'rith Klutznick Museum, Washington, D.C. We added our own ingredients of pride in Jewish heritage, love for America, and appreciation for the Bill of Rights, tossed in Fred Kroll's camera work and Burt Federman's exhibit constructions, and wove it all into this picture song which I hope you will want to show in your area.

Our exhibit has the versatility of being able to stand on its own or to serve as a base to which to couple additional displays of your local or regional Jewish input. It can also serve as a lead-in to programs of mass immigration, holocaust, Israel, and the commemoration of significant historic dates.

I thank my wife Grace and our children Peter, Patricia and Debi for their loving support and financial assistance in this family project. May our country continue to lead in the pursuit of a new world order of freedom, justice, and compassion for all.
