Today, the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS) serves as the academic and spiritual center of Conservative Judaism in the United States and, according to its own claim, the whole world. This makes the museum an important destination for those interested in understanding the development and current state of Conservative Judaism.
The Jewish Theological Seminary maintains five training institutions, one of the largest libraries in the world in the field of Judaic studies, and a Jewish Museum. The museum, as part of this larger institution, offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore Jewish history, culture, and religion in depth.
