This is a great museum! Small enough to get an overview of the topic--Jewish life in Cleveland from the 1800s to the present and Judaism generally--but still thorough. I would recommend this for someone Jewish or Gentile, the former for the Cleveland stuff and the latter for the overview part, which included a description of the religion itself, the main kinds of religious practices in the US, etc. There was a fun film on Jewish entertainers, with a focus on those from Cleveland, an exhibit on hate and the holocaust, and Israel (the latter was a weaker part of the exhibit in that it was a bit superficial). My wife's mother's family is from Cleveland and there was a reference to one of her ancestors in the local section ... that was quite exciting.
There was also a temporary exhibit about nuns in the US. Quite a contrast to the main theme of the museum and I liked that. That exhibit was only OK though; it focused on the work that various sisters do (I was shocked at how many different orders there are!), but omitted some of the psychological reasons that draw a young woman into a life of service, contemplation, and sacrifice and it avoided all discussion of the dwindling numbers these days and the second class status of women in the church.
