An excellent museum about Jewish life in the American South, from the early colonial period when most Jewish immigrants were Sephardic Jews fleeing the Inquisition to the present day. The museum features engaging exhibits on many aspects of the Jewish experience as itinerant Jewish peddlers in the early, expanding United States, Jewish entrepreneurs who founded companies that remain major businesses today, the experience of being a minority in a nation of immigrants, and much more. This year, the museum also hosts a special exhibition on the reception and resettlement of Holocaust survivors who came to the United States, including the Southern states, under special immigration quotas from displaced persons camps in Germany. These were Jewish survivors who had no homes to return to after World War II. The exhibition is based on the stories of the survivors themselves, their descendants, and the many volunteers who helped them build new lives in the American South.
Fabulous! Learned a lot. Spent more time than we had anticipated. Small and lots of details. Definitely a must for a Jewish tourist.
It is great, learned a lot a great incentive for those who know nothing about the South. Professionally done
Just a short walk from the WWII Museum, you can visit if you need to take a break from your all-day visit to that museum. Most people think that New York City was the entry point for European Jewish families, but this museum shows that multiple southern cities also served as starting points for these immigrants. Very interesting explanation about Southern Jews and slavery during the Civil War era, as well as during the Civil Rights movement. Compact museum is well laid out. Interesting stories for people of all faiths.
This is an excellent well-designed small modern museum. The exhibits are honest about how, as individuals, Jews in the South were on both sides of major questions in American history, such as the Civil War and slavery, and civil rights. We particularly enjoyed the section focused on the history of Jewish immigration to the southern United States. The setting within the museum for the Foundations of Judaism section was striking. The third section covering the time period from World War Two to today is also well done.
Coming from New Jersey, I did not really know about jewish Immigration. In the south. Although small, the exhibits were very interesting and very well laid out. I spent almost 2 full hours there so it was well worth the price. A few hands on exhibits for kids, but more for adults.
My family visited this small but interesting museum and felt that we all learned more about the history of Jewish people in the South. Jewish families have lived in the South for hundreds of years and contributed in so many ways to both the United States in general and the South in particular. Displays were well done and explanations were clear and concise. Recommended.
A small museum, it still offered an unexpectedly deep view of southern Jewish life over a century ago. Really made us feel like we understood what life was like back then. Well worth the time spent - and just a few blocks away from the National WWII museum, it could not have been easier to find.
Enjoyed the experience. Learned a lot- lots of interesting artifacts, stories and videos. Well laid out.
Easily accessible by car or trolly. It is a small museum packed with lots of info. There is a lot to read and there are some interactive screens as well. This museum is not too well suited for children as it is mostly reading panels. It provides a balanced description of life, challenges experienced, and the growth of the southern Jewish community. The Jews of the south have a long and integrated experience, learning to adapt while holding onto their culture and religion. Well worth the visit, and allow 1-2 hours to fully appreciate , without rushing.
