Signs of Our Jewish Times exhibit at Congregation Keneseth Israel

Congregation Keneseth Israel’s Temple Judea Museum has a new exhibit, “Signs of Our Jewish Times” which displays a sampling of Jewish artifacts that don’t necessarily fit into a specific theme.

From the Jewish Exponent:

“There are pins from Jewish events, the Israeli Army and the Women’s League for Conservative Judaism, among others; there are signs and pictures from Hesch’s, the old Jewish steakhouse owned by Philadelphia entrepreneur Harry Jay Katz; there’s an old sign from Satmar Bakery in New York telling customers that the bakery had no matzah left.

And that’s only a sampling….”

The Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel’s website describes the exhibition as such: “This is a fun exhibition that brings back memories and stimulates inter-generational conversation and story-telling. Objects of SIGNAGE from the Temple Judea Museum permanent collection that have never, or seldom, been seen before are on display.”

Admission to the exhibit is free, and the museum is usually open during regular business hours and Sundays. You can contact the synagogue in advance at TJMuseum@kenesethisrael.org or 215-887-8700.
