If It’s Jewish, We Have It: Selections from the Collections
Rolodex belonging to Sheldon Cohen in the 1990s. Cohen was IRS Commissioner in President Lyndon Johnson’s administration and worked later as an attorney at private firms in Washington, DC.
Capital Jewish Museum Collection. Gift of Laura Cohen Apelbaum and Family.
A favorite object in our collection is the neon sign reading “If It’s Jewish We Have It,” currently on display. This exhibit takes that motto to heart and tells the Jewish community’s history by exploring its diversity. Featuring never-before-displayed items from the Museum’s collections, from a Victorian-era bimah chair to protest signs used at recent rallies, marches, and vigils, these items remind us that the Jewish community is not one thing—it is many.
