Charney Resolution Center congratulates the Renewal and Rebuilding of The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv to “ANU”

Event Honored Nevzlin Family for Spearheading the Renewal and Rebuilding of the World’s Largest and Most Comprehensive Jewish Museum

Tel Aviv, Israel, February 23, 2021 — The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv on Sunday held a virtual event celebrating the institution’s historic transformation, offering the first preview of the completed museum, anchored by a one-of-a-kind, new interactive 72,000 square foot permanent exhibition. The museum also unveiled its new name and brand identity, “ANU,” which is Hebrew for “we” and “us” and embodies everything the new museum stands for: a place where everyone feels they belong.
