Saved from the wrecking ball in 1969, the museum was moved three blocks to 3rd & G streets and restored as a museum exploring the Jewish contributions to the nations capital. The permanent collection includes letters, scrapbooks, oral histories, photographs, ritual objects and textiles documenting the history of local Jewish families and organizations.
