As we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, explore the complexity of Jewish and American identity through the story of Norfolk’s first permanent Jewish residents—the Myers family. Hosted at the Chrysler Museum of Art in partnership with the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater.

Rabbi Michael Panitz will lead a deep dive into the life of Moses Myers, examining his role in the American Revolution, his understanding of citizenship, and whether he should be seen as an exemplar or an outlier in early American Jewish history.
