Focus Gallery: Circa 1776: Jews in Colonial America

0 upcoming performances in New York

At the Jewish Museum, *Focus Gallery: Circa 1776: Jews in Colonial America* looks at Jewish life at the moment the colonies moved toward independence. The exhibition traces how a small community navigated commerce, politics, and religious practice in a society still defining its laws and public identity. In New York City, where early Jewish settlement helped shape the city’s civic fabric, the subject lands with local weight. The gallery’s tight scope makes a useful point: the Revolution’s story is clearer when read through everyday lives, not only founding documents.
