The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is a lively community space that attracts students, adults and groups from the community and around the country. Devoted to diversity and tolerance, it opened in 2005 with a simple mission: to build bridges of tolerance and understanding by sharing Jewish heritage through the lens of the American experience. The stories of individuals and families - past and present - come to life through state-of-the-art exhibitions, interactives and films, oral histories, photographs and artifacts. The Museum includes The Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery, an internationally-recognized collection of Judaica, and a special exhibition gallery featuring important exhibitions of national and international acclaim.
The Mission of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is to introduce visitors to the beauty and diversity of that heritage in the context of the American experience. It promotes an understanding of Jewish history, religion and culture and builds bridges of appreciation, tolerance and understanding with those of other religions, races, cultures and ethnic backgrounds, serving as an educational resource for Northeast Ohio's Jewish and general communities.
The Maltz Museum opened in October of 2005 in partnership with The Temple - Tifereth Israel, The Maltz Family Foundation and The Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland.
AN AMERICAN STORY - Visitors to the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage will step inside a world filled with inspiring and moving stories of Jewish immigrants perhaps even their own ancestors and modern-day heroes. By incorporating state-of-the-art computer interactives, film, special effects, individual stories and oral histories, the Museum's dramatic permanent exhibition is an uplifting and moving experience.
THE TEMPLE-TIFERETH ISRAEL GALLERY - The Maltz Museum features a rich selection from The Temple Museum of Religious Art’s important collection of art and artifacts.
