Jewish Museums

The Museum of the Jewish Future

by

Dedicated to the Jewish Experience, the Jewish future, multi-media. national digital repository.- museum as experience enhancer.

“I wonder,” said Agam, “why all the museums preserve the past. With our means of communication [we could] become enthusiastic about a place where projects concerning the future, the chrystalization of our future, would be shown and explained…’ as quoted in “Homage to Ya’acov Agam”  P. 151

Where the traditional jewish museum creates exhibitions, the museum of the Jewish future creates participatory environments. Where the traditional Jewish museums may have docents, the museum of the jewish future creates transformative experiences with interaction with other participants. where the traditional museum currates items of the past, the museum of the future creates scenarios.

Museums are Entry Points into the Jewish Experience

These Museums, around the globe, provide glimpses into the Jewish Historical Experience .They foster the idea put forth by the historian Ellis Rivkin:

The goal of the Jewish community must be the individual who “recognizes that Judaism has been the manifold expression of human beings struggling and wrestling with their human problems, and he therefore can enter into the thoughts and feelings of each historical moment and come forth enriched.”

 “free to draw on the riches of our past we need no longer be slaves to it. Judaism, for us, is not only a past, but a future.“
