Join us at the Museum at Eldridge Street on Thursday, October 10th between 5pm and 8pm for an open house as part of Fall LES Gallery Nights, which celebrates the vibrant art scene of the neighborhood. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to explore the Museum's historic Main Sanctuary after-hours, and immerse yourself in our current exhibition by Tobi Kahn alongside the award-winning artist himself!

Memory & Inheritance contemplates ritual, tradition, and memory, both personal and collective. Artist Tobi Kahn’s luminous paintings and his singular Judaica, more than four dozen in total, are shown in the Museum’s historic synagogue home, inviting reflection and meditation.

Informed by American modernism, Kahn’s abstract, distinctively crafted works on Jewish ritual and tradition communicate spiritual meaning, and invite you to ponder the relationship between yourself and a larger spiritual community regardless of your own faith and traditions.

Memory & Inheritance: Paintings and Ceremonial Objects by Tobi Kahn will be on view through November 10, 2024.
