As Temple Emanu-El celebrates the 180th anniversary of its founding, the Herbert & Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica traces that evolution in a new exhibition of paintings, works on paper, sculpture, and ephemera drawn from its own holdings, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New York Historical, and private collections.

Emanu-El at 180 will run from September 15, 2025 through May 17, 2026.

The museum is open to in-person visitors Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Be sure to explore our collections virtually via Bloomberg Connects.
