Championing contemporary Jewish culture, The CJM is unlike any other Jewish museum in the country—entirely focused on the diversity and complexity of today’s Jewish life and perspectives.

In the next year, The CJM will concentrate on reconfiguring our future and reemerging—renewed, relevant, and financially sustainable.

  • The only museum of its kind in the US focused on contemporary Jewish culture and an important part of the Bay Area’s Jewish ecosystem 
  • A premier art institution highlighting Jewish achievement and uplifting voices of Jewish artists 
  • A paradigm-shifting leader in antisemitism education for children in public schools
