American Jewish Life Digital Collection

This website collects and preserves experiences and responses from American Jewish individuals and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. We invite you to share materials that exemplify your personal experiences, or that document your community’s activities and responses to the pandemic. American Jewish Life is a project of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, in partnership with the Breman Museum; the Capital Jewish Museum; the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life; Hebrew Theological College; the Houston Jewish History Archive at Rice University; and Yeshiva University. American Jewish Life is part of a larger collecting project, Pandemic Religion, documenting the experiences of American religious groups during the pandemic.
