The Derfner Judaica Museum, which was formally dedicated in June, will be open for special Sunday hours once per month month. (Regular weekday hours are Monday–Friday, 10:30 am– 4:30 pm.) The museum is free and open to the public.

On view is the exhibition, Tradition and Remembrance: Treasures of the Derfner Judaica Museum, which explores the intersections of Jewish history and memory. Among the featured objects in the exhibition are a silver filigree vase, 1911, and an early copper alloy Hanukkah lamp, from the famed Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts founded in Jerusalem in 1906. Other objects relating to Jewish practice come from near and far, including a set of 18th-century German Torah implements from Meerholz Germany and a velvet fish-scale embroidered matzah cover from 19th-century Jerusalem.
