Multicultural Jewish Arts Museum (MJAM)

SHIN-DC represents Sephardic and other underrepresented Jewish communities, and engages in cultural diplomacy by working closely with the Embassies and the US Congress. As antisemitism surges world-wide, the bridge-building work of SHIN is crucial NOW more than ever.

Enjoy a taste of the Multicultural Jewish Arts Museum (MJAM) with exhibitions from our permanent collection, as we fundraise for the museum. “MyJAM” – A Jewish museum for everyone. A project of SHIN-DC.
