OJM is on the Move!

One of our favorite organizations is the Oregon Jewish Museum. They hosted our very first exhibit, and we definitely consider them Family. So we're very happy to hear that OJM has found a new home, and hopes to move in by mid-December.

Having searched long and hard for a suitable property, OJM will make its new home at 1953 NW Kearney Street. Already recognized locally and nationally as a leader in Jewish museum programming, OJM will now be able to expand its exhibits, programs and services to more fully meet the needs of the Oregon community which it serves. The new gallery space will allow for larger and multiple concurrent exhibitions. An expanded volunteer program will provide a variety of museum services and new volunteer opportunities in hospitality, tours/docents, research and multimedia. The new building will also provide a safekeeping solution for the museum's collections and artifacts, as well as a screening room, and convenient parking.

In a collaborative venture, the Oregon Jewish Museum will sublet a small portion of the space to the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center. "Being housed under the same roof will provide a community benefit and allow both organizations to become stronger...." says Museum Director Judith Margles.

To follow progress of OJM's move, watch for the new "On the Move" section at www.ojm.org soon. Hatzlacha!!
