THE MANY FACES OF YISRAEL EXHIBITION TO RUN FROM SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 THROUGH NOVEMBER 14, 2010

“The Many Faces of Yisrael: Return from the Diaspora,” an exhibition of paintings, sculpture, drawings and photographs, will open at The Jewish Museum of New Jersey on September 26 , 2010, and will run through November 14.  Featured artists are Jahheal Massac, Phillip DeLoatch, and Mansa K. Mussa.  An opening reception will be held at the Museum on September 26 from 12:00-5:00 P.M.  Free off-street parking and light refreshments will be provided.  

“The goal of this exhibition is to present art and objects that are powerful and moving,” said Max Herman, President of the Board of Trustees of the Museum.  “But it will also expand many visitors’ views of who Jews are, what they look like, where they live - and of what it means to be Jewish.  We expect this exhibition to trigger new emotions and open eyes.” 

The Jewish Museum of New Jersey is located at 145 Broadway, Newark, NJ, at historic Congregation Ahavas Sholom.  Admission is $10 and $5 for students and seniors.  The Museum is open on Sundays from 1:00-5:00 P.M., and by appointment.
