Once you see these moments, history will never look the same.

This documentary-style collection presents rare historical photos and images that tell the powerful story of Jewish American life from the 1700s to the modern era. Spanning more than 350 years, these moments capture the experiences, struggles, achievements, and lasting contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.

From early Jewish communities and historic synagogues to activism, culture, science, law, and civil rights, the images reveal how Jewish Americans helped shape the nation. You’ll see powerful scenes from World War I, including a 1917 Yiddish poster urging immigrants to defend the freedom they came to America to find, and labor marches demanding an end to child labor in New York City.

The collection also highlights major cultural and historical figures such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Albert Einstein, Louis Brandeis, Elie Wiesel, Barbra Streisand, Hank Greenberg, Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, and many others. It captures milestones in faith, justice, and civil rights—from early synagogues in Charleston to marches for equality, interfaith cooperation, and the fight for freedom around the world.

Moments of everyday life, artistic achievement, political activism, and national recognition come together to show how Jewish American history is deeply woven into the broader story of America itself. These images are part of the exhibition “From Haven to Home: 350 Years of Jewish American Life.”

Every May, Jewish American Heritage Month honors this legacy—but these photos remind us that the story continues every day.
