Explore the history of Pittsburgh’s Jewish community through a guided tour of two of the center’s permanent exhibits.
Since Jewish families first arrived in Pittsburgh in the 1840’s, they have dropped coins into “pushke“(collection) cups, visited the sick, built institutions to serve those in need and raised millions of dollars for many causes in Pittsburgh and beyond. This culture of giving was determined by the Jewish religious commandment to be compassionate, righteous and just and was shaped by their experiences as Jews in America.
