Philadelphia’s Jewish museum emerges from bankruptcy

The museum of American Jewish history in Philadelphia wants to be part of the Smithsonian Institute. It found support in the House.

The National Museum of American Jewish History has added the name Weitzman to its name in honor of a transformative gift from the shoe designer.

Ivy Barsky, head of the NMAJH since 2012, is stepping down. The museum has not performed as expected in its building on Independence Mall.
