Who We Are, What We Do

The Jewish Heritage Foundation of North Carolina is the only independent statewide organization dedicated to preserving, sharing and celebrating Jewish culture and artistry.

We fulfill our mission by working in three main areas:

• To collect, preserve and present the history of the Jewish people of North Carolina;
• To serve as custodian, collecting and redistributing Jewish ritual objects and preserving Jewish historical sites;
• To operate the Rosenzweig Gallery as a venue for Jewish art, with the goal of developing exhibits that can travel to communities throughout the state.

The JHFNC is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Contributions to the JHFNC and its projects are fully tax deductible. The organization is funded by individual and corporate donors, charitable foundations, synagogues, and local Jewish federations.

Our Board of Directors includes statewide representation.

We are operated by dedicated volunteers and a small professional staff.

Our administrative offices are located at Trent Hall on the campus of Duke University and the Rosenzweig Gallery is located at Judea Reform Congregation in Durham.
