Online Exhibitions

The RIJHA has begun making materials from the Beryl and Chaya Segal Archives available for view in a digital exhibition format.

The purpose is to showcase various objects and materials not ordinarily on view. All of these have a tie-in to the Rhode Island Jewish community.

We intend to add to these exhibits periodically so check back for more.

Click here to view the RIJHA’s second online exhibit, Recipes in Time! 
Our second presentation was on cookbooks and featured recipes from our collection of cookbooks, from 1907 to 1953. Some were commercial books while others were fundraising books for social service organizations or congregations. One thing they all had in common was a desire to pass down recipes to future generations.
