Faith & Freedom - America 250 Exhibition at Congregation Mikveh Israel

"Mikveh Israel's newly renovated exhibition spaces offer a remarkable window into American Jewish history.

Highlights include an immersive period room dedicated to the Gratz family—one of Philadelphia's most influential Jewish families and leaders in philanthropy, education, and civic life—alongside founding documents of the congregation not publicly displayed in more than 40 years and a beautifully curated new museum gallery."
