Welcome to ISJM.org home of the International Survey of Jewish Monuments |

|
Welcome to the new website of the International Survey of Jewish Monuments (ISJM). We have made several recent updates to the site, and we will be adding much more content in the coming months!
Check the current news section daily for links to interesting articles from around the world, including important updates on Jewish monuments. The calendar is a good place to find upcoming events such as museum openings, art exhibitions, cultural festivals, conferences, and lectures.
Send feedback to ISJM The International Survey of Jewish Monuments (ISJM) is an independent, non-profit, membership based, educational organization dedicated to the documentation, study, care and conservation of historic Jewish sites throughout the world. A primary role of ISJM is to serve as a clearing-house of information about current projects and programs that effect Jewish monuments, especially through the posting of news, photos, reports, directories and other materials on this site.
This new website will collate information from around the world, and we invite ISJM members and users to contirubte information.
This website is a work-in-progress. It will be shaped and expanded throughout the summer of 2008 as information from our old site is transferred, and new information is collected, edited and posted. The final format of the site will respond to the needs of those who consult with it most. Let us know the type of information that you need, and share the information and expertise that you have with others. Tell us how you use the information from ISJM - for teaching, research, travel or some other purpose.
Please come back and visit this site over the next weeks and months to see what is new. Be sure to check our compilations of news stories, and our calendar listings.
Samuel D. Gruber
President, ISJM
