The museum preserves more than 25,000 objects that reveal much about daily life, beliefs, customs, worship, human yearnings, and artistic achievement from biblical to contemporary times. They reflect Jewish life in virtually every corner of the globe as well as the museum's commitment to exploring American Jewish life in the context of American society as a whole.
The ephemera reproduced in this volume consist mainly of broadsides, posters, and leaflets produced in the United States from the late nineteenth century on. They deal with Jewish immigration to America and attitudes toward lands of origin, early efforts to organize American Jewish life through a variety of social structures, anti-Semitism, American Jewish religious affairs, the response of American Jewry to World Wars I and II, the participation of American Jewry in the Zionist movement, the adjustment to American economic and political life, and the flourishing of Yiddish theater.

This book examines the history of American exhibitions of Russian art in the twentieth century in the context of the Cold War. Because this history reflects changes in museological theory and the role of governments in facilitating or preventing intercultural cooperation, it uncovers a story that is far more complex than a chronological listing of exhibition names and art works. Roann Barris considers questions of stylistic appropriations and influences and the role of museum exhibitions in promoting international and artistic exchanges. Barris reveals that Soviet and American exchanges in the world of art were extensive and persistent despite political disagreements before, during, and after the Cold War. It also reveals that these early exhibitions communicated contradictory and historically invalid pictures of the Russian or Soviet avant-garde. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Russian studies.
Culling the finest thinking of renowned historian Jonathan D. Sarna, Coming to Terms with America examines how Jews have long “straddled two civilizations,” endeavoring to be both Jewish and American at once, from the American Revolution to today.
