For over 25 years, The William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum has long been a part of the fabric of a vibrant midtown community. It has evolved from its early days as a museum dedicated to Jewish culture and heritage to what it has become today: the most respected Jewish history museum in the South. This September we are hosting an anniversary event to honor our past and celebrate our future! Join us as for this festive occasion which will be the first event of the Jewish New Year. Please mark your calendar now for the evening of Sunday, September 19, 2021. The event will include a tour of a powerful new exhibition entitled HISTORY WITH CHUTZPAH.

Guests will be invited to tour the newly installed exhibition followed by a dynamic, not to be missed evening of cocktails and cuisine ... entertainment and enlightenment.
