Our museum recently received a fabulous donation of Ira Moskowitz's etchings from his Torah I and Torah II collection from Allan Winston who recently joined CBI with his wife Diana. Allan was a friend of Ira Moskowitz and through business obtained the etchings.

We are delighted to show this new collection in an opening during our Selichot reception in our museum on Saturday, September 8th prior to the service for the beginning of our High Holy Days.
Ira Moskowitz was born in 1912 in Poland, moved a short time later to Prague, Czechoslovakia. Ira's family immigrated to New York City in 1927 where he began to study art. His Torah collections show his rabbinic lineage along with his passion to draw and sketch. His art has been featured in the Metropolitan Museum, The Whitney Museum of Modern Art, the National Art Gallery in Washington, Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris as well as many others in the United States, Europe and Israel.
We are so lucky to now have them in our museum. Please join us as we officially usher in our New Year, 5773, in our museum with this new exhibit along with all our displayed Judaica.
