Circa 1776: Jews in Colonial America

0 upcoming performances in New York

At Jewish Museum Exhibitions, *Circa 1776: Jews in Colonial America* looks at Jewish life in the decades surrounding the Revolution, tracing how families built congregations, businesses, and civic ties in a changing Atlantic world. The exhibition places objects and artworks alongside documentary material to show daily practice as well as public identity. In New York City—home to one of the nation’s earliest Jewish communities—the subject lands as local history, not abstraction. Its quiet strength is refusing heroic myth in favor of evidence and lived detail.
