The Jewish Museum of Buffalo will invite the wider community to experience the masterful architecture of Max Abramovitz and the artistic genius of Ben Shahn, nestled within the sanctuary of Temple Beth Zion.

By illuminating the stories of Jewish life in Buffalo and celebrating global Jewish culture, art, and architecture, we serve as a vital community connector, fostering dialogue and forging lasting alliances throughout Western New York and beyond.

Come for the sanctuary; stay for the stories.

Provides a series of workshops that includes in-depth sessions about Jewish symbolism, art & activism, and immigration for:

Collaborating with artist Ben Shahn, Abramovitz incorporated magnificent stained glass windows throughout the Temple. Shahn's East Window depicts God speaking to Job through a whirlwind, while the West Window represents Psalm 150's call to praise God, with both windows filtering natural light through colored glass to create a beautiful and awe-inspiring worship space.
