The Center for Jewish History describes itself as the largest and most comprehensive archive of the modern Jewish experience outside of Israel. This was the first time I visited their facility at 15 West 16th Street in Manhattan. It is more scholarly than the Jewish Museum which I have visited several times. I came specifically to see the exhibit JEWCE.
Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Today's Visit to the Center for Jewish History
I found out about this exhibit from a report on NY1 by Roger Clark. I also found out that fellow Bob Dylan enthusiast Danny Fingeroth was a contributing curator. The dynamic exhibition brings together an impressive collection of original artworks, historical artifacts, and interactive installations celebrating the rich tapestry of Jewish narratives depicted through the lens of comics and graphic storytelling.

I spent some time perusing the other sections of the museum. There was also a research library there, but I did not go in. I think have visited enough libraries in my dreams recently.😁
