The Museum of Jewish Civilization, located across from the circulation desk in Mortensen Library, is pleased to present its 2024–25 exhibit: Jews in Space: Members of the Tribe in Orbit. This exhibit examines a collective fascination with space by highlighting Jewish contributions to the world above us through religious texts, aeronautics, science fiction, and popular culture. Stop by the museum at any point for our open house on Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 12:45 p.m. to 2 p.m.
This exhibit was created by the Center for Jewish History and the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. It was generously funded in part by CT Humanities, the Feltman Family Fund, the Jewish Community Foundation, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford.
