Jewish Museum of New Jersey
Jewish Museum of New Jersey, Jewish museum and synagogue in Newark, United States.
The Jewish Museum of New Jersey occupies two floors within the Ahavas Sholom synagogue building at 145 Broadway, featuring exhibition spaces for artifacts and artworks.
Established in 2007 within a 1923 Classical Revival building, this institution preserves the legacy of Newark's Jewish community, which once numbered 70,000 residents.
The museum presents exhibitions about Jewish immigration, Holocaust survivors, and New Jersey's Sephardic history through photographs, paintings, artifacts, and musical performances.
Visitors can access the museum for special exhibits and programs by appointment, with regular exhibitions running from September through February on Sundays.
The museum houses an Aron Kodesh from the 1870s, transferred from New York's Congregation Beth-El, recognized as the oldest hand-carved Holy Ark in New Jersey.
