The HUC-JIR Museum is a resource for the Jewish community and general public. Exhibitions are available for travel to Jewish and secular museums and university art galleries. This archive features exhibitions presented in recent years, many of which are currently traveling to other museum venues, which explore the creativity of contemporary artists of all faiths exploring Jewish identity, history, culture, and experience; interpret core Jewish values, texts, and beliefs and that foster a deeper appreciation for Jewish heritage; provide a forum for the exploration of the role of the arts as an expression of Jewish spirituality; highlight the creativity of contemporary Israeli artists and strengthen cultural ties between North America and Israel; showcase treasures of the College-Institute's library, archives, and museum collections; and celebrate the important role played by collectors in the development of Jewish art and museums.
