Maine Jewish Museum

"Fantastic ! Beautiful meaningful displays, So much fascinating information, so well presented.. moving stories of experiences in Europe and concentration camps, Jews moving to America and the history of Judaism in New England and Maine.... So interesting to learn about the rich history of Judaism in the area ."

"Wonderful docents and artists, sharing information about the museum, it's history, and about the synagogue and art within. There is also a tribute to many Jewish people held in captivity by Hamas from the October 7, 2023 attack. A wonderful place to visit. I am on a cruise and I was too late to get onto any of the tourist bus trips and it's a good thing that I was! I just walked around and happened upon this museum...a gem that I would have otherwise missed. I recommend very highly."

"This place is so incredible, so special. Over 100 year old, still active Synagogue turned into a Jewish Museum. Totally restored. Rabbi Gary Berenson who grew up in the Synagogue is now the rabbi there. It’s worth a visit and worth hearing his story. Loved the Maine Jewish Hall of Fame and the beautiful art exhibits. Attended a Kosher and Israeli wine tasting. Love the events they curate."
