The history and architecture of this restored 1845 synagogue, open as a historic site by the Jewish Museum of Maryland, sums up some of the dramatic changes in American Judaism and in American taste before and after the Civil War. Built for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in Greek-temple design, it has served many congregations, not all Jewish.

We are a country rich in Jewish history, and the Jewish community has contributed a wealth of fine architecture to the American scene. Most of these synagogues are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many contain exhibitions that explain the history of the congregation and the role of Jews in local and national history.

The rich Jewish culture of Spain permeates Judaism to this day, ... Their customs, language, traditions, food and art, as well as Sephardic Judaism, spread out through the Diaspora. The first American Jews were Sephardic. It is important to recover this history.

The Union for Reform Judaism has never before undertaken a project like this -- but there has never before been a natural disaster as devastating as Hurricane Katrina.

The power of these recommendations is that they come from leaders representing a broad spectrum of religious conviction.

We're talking about an entire major American metropolitan area that has been completely dislocated, completely evacuated, ... Last time that happened in American history was the Civil War.

Hip-hop was born in New York but it's now a global phenomenon. It's here to stay, and it's part of American culture just like jazz is part of American history. It's part of the narrative we tell at the museum.

Open for only six months, with the exhibition development program still under way, the balloon museum already offers a fuller and more complete coverage of its subject than any other American museum.

In some ways, this museum in Washington gets to do something very important, ... It can be a lens to help us all better understand what it means to be an American--to use African-American culture as that lens to understand the history of this country as well.

INTO THE WEST takes place during one of the single most dramatic periods in American history. We're painting this on a huge canvas in order to tell a story that explores the Gold Rush, the transcontinental railroad, the wild west and the Indian wars leading to the tragedy at Wounded Knee. These are all facets of the American and Native American experience. It's the story about opportunity and the clash of cultures and the eventual overwhelming of one nation's way of life over another.
