Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage
Through moving stories of Jewish immigration and perseverance, a wealth of interesting artifacts, compelling exhibitions and insightful examination of present-day Cleveland and Israel, the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage seeks to introduce visitors to the beauty and diversity of that heritage in the context of the American experience. It promotes an understanding of Jewish history, religion and culture, and it builds bridges of tolerance and understanding with those of other religions, races, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. In addition, the Maltz Museum is also home to The Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery, which is the fourth-oldest museum of Judaica in the United States, and features striking architecture that incorporates 126 tons of Golden Jerusalem limestone and a wall of remembrance.
