Displays of Jewish ritual objects in public, non-Jewish settings by
Jews are a comparatively re-cent phenomenon. So too is the
establishment of Jewish museums. This volume explores the origins
of the Jewish Museum of New York and its evolution from collecting
and displaying Jewish ritual objects, to Jewish art, to exhibiting
avant-garde art devoid of Jewish content, created by non-Jews.
Established within a rabbinic seminary, the museum’s formation
and development reflect changes in Jewish society over the
twentieth century as it grappled with choices between religion and
secularism, particularism and universalism, and ethnic pride and
assimilation.
