You can help save important ritual objects and Judaica
The JHFNC is pleased to accept for conservation and storage items including books in Yiddish and Hebrew, prayer books, Jewish ritual objects and artwork, and memorabilia with a significant religious context. We are, however, limited in the number and size of objects we can accept, and regret that unless an item has a clear connection with North Carolina Jewish history, we will be unable to serve as its custodian. In such cases, we will attempt to connect the donor with another organization that may be an appropriate resource to accept and preserve the item.
Please include as much information about the object as possible, including:
1. The type of object and a brief description of its condition.
2. Where and how it is currently stored.
3. Who owns the object.
4. Why the object is endangered or can no longer be held by its current owner.
5. What is its connection with North Carolina or a North Carolinian.
A photograph of the item will also be appreciated; it can be sent to:
