Jewish Historical Society of Long Island and Sid Jacobson JCC are proud to partner in bringing you the Long Island Jewish History Museum.  Our current display opened in January 2026 and showcases artifacts from our collection that tells the story of Jewish community on Long Island from the time the first congregation was established in Breslau (today Lindenhurst) in 1875.  Come learn about Jewish communal gatherings that have taken place over the last century and a half. 

​​

Our previous exhibit, 101 Jewish Long Islanders, ran from November 2023 to November 2024 celebrating a selection of well known personalities and lesser known individuals who were raised on Long Island or at some point in their lives called Long Island home. Through a collection of artifacts, displays, and biographies these noteworthy Jewish Long Islanders were highlighted based on their prominence in fields ranging from arts and entertainment to fashion, sports and the military.
