October 28—December 16, JCCNV The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington’s award-winning exhibition at the JCCNV includes archival photographs and historic documentation of local Jewish life. Its narrative begins in 1795 with Washington’s first Jewish resident, and continues through current times to celebrate the region's Jewish community of more than 215,000 members.

Included are descriptions of local Jewish families and congregations and their role in the economic and social development of the city and its northern Virginia suburbs. The Society’s archives include donations of personal and family papers, photographs, organizational records, oral histories, and other memorabilia documenting the local Jewish experience. They are looking to build its Northern Virginia collections to preserve this history for generations to come.
