Important Update (March 23, 2020)

To help with New York City's efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the Center for Jewish History has decided to temporarily close until further notice. Our top priority is the health and safety of our staff and all the members of the public who come to the Center. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep our community informed of any changes.

All events will be cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled on a digital platform until further notice. Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive regular updates on our program schedule, as well as a number of our digital offerings still available from the Center and our five partner organizations. The library and other facilities of our partner organizations will remain closed to the public. Our librarians will still be assisting researchers virtually – please contact inquiries@cjh.org for any questions about the collections and research. Those who have paid for event tickets at the Center during this time period will receive an email about rescheduling the event and/or reimbursing tickets.

The decision to close the Center was not taken lightly, and we are diligently monitoring the latest updates from health officials. We will provide any new information as we receive it, so please follow us on social media for the most up-to-date news. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Center soon.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope that you and your families stay well during this difficult period.
