The museum collection includes more than 650 pieces that date from the 14th century to the present day and can be separated into two main categories: history of Emanu-El and Judaica objects. The collection features unique objects, precious objects and more humble ones, all infused with a value of their own as examples of ritual objects, household objects and memorabilia. Each incorporates a component of Jewish history.
