Jewish Historical Society of Long Island and Sid Jacobson JCC are proud to partner in bringing you the Long Island Jewish History Museum.  Our next display opening in January 2025 will be a photo exhibit of 18 images depicting synagogues in Nassau and Suffolk counties over the past 125 years.  Come learn about the history of the earliest Jewish settlements, why synagogues were built in certain areas, various architectural styles and what that says about how our community has evolved over the decades. 

​

Our first 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.
