Heroes
Trailblazers of the Jewish People
Humans have always needed heroes. In most cultures, the hero is the person who saves us from external danger. He – the traditional hero is usually male – vanquishes our enemies and our fears in times of war and turmoil. The people are saved and the hero earns an everlasting fame and respect.
This innovative and inspiring new exhibition at the Museum of the Jewish People reveals that heroes are a vital part of Jewish culture. Jews, like every other people, teach the next generation about the values and actions they should pursue through its choice of heroes. Heroes are the subject of countless stories and dreams. They are our role models.
Heroes celebrates the ongoing heroism of Jewish life and history. It is part of the Museum's mission to represent the pluralism and vitality of Jewish culture and to being truly the Museum of all the Jewish People.
Heroes is a refreshing view of what it really means to be a hero. Visitors will meet different types of Jewish heroes throughout our history including scientists, intellectuals, leaders, revolutionaries, cultural figures, athletes and more – men and women with unique talents. This remarkable and diverse selection represents the heroism of our people through history, while showing that success has many different faces.
These heroes will inspire children – and their parents – to ask who is truly brave, and to identify their own personal heroes and role models. The exhibition illustrates how being a hero comes from conquering our worst instincts and daring to think and act differently from the crowd – anyone can be a hero.
"Heroes" is displayed at the The Tamar and Milton Maltz Family Gallery.
