Capital Jewish Museum

The new Capital Jewish Museum inspires visitors to connect, reflect and act: connect personally and collectively, reflect on the relevance of the past to today, and act on behalf of their values and communities.

With its unconventional, experimental spirit, the CJM explores the Jewish experience in the national capital region, and serves as a secular space for storytelling, connection, and dialogue across cultural communities in our city.

Given the recent rise in antisemitism and divisive rhetoric, there has never been a more important moment to make this kind of statement about Jewish life and civility in our nation’s capital.
