A Message From The President, Barry A. Friedman, M.D. |

An old song went “oh what a night.” For the Museum it went OH, WHAT A YEAR!! So far. While numbers aren‟t everything, I do have some startling numbers. So far this year we have had approx 2400 visitors with whom we have had interactions. This number includes attendance at our programs at the museum, speaking engagements and programs off site, visitors from out of town and new and old visitors from Tucson. This far exceeds our entire year last year (1400) and this centennial year still has four and a half months remaining.

A Message from the Director ~ Eileen Warshaw |

We are at a milestone that I am certain our ancestors could not have imagined. This is a milestone that we as the collective community, Jewish and non-Jewish, have been building toward for the past century.
No, it’s NOT the celebration of the past hundred years, but rather the start of the next hundred. I wonder what the bicentennial year 2110 will look like. I am certain that none of us living today can come close to imagining that world. I do know one thing for certain. We here at the JHM have been planning for the next one hundred years for some time and that planning is ongoing.
