We have relocated our main galleries to a new building, The Center for Jewish History (CJH) at 15 West 16th St., where we share a state-of-the-art facility with four other partners:  YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the American Jewish Historical Society, the Leo Baeck Institute and the American Sephardi Federation.  YUM is the only museum in the building with four spacious galleries, its own office floor, a children's workshop center, a docent room, and an outdoor sculpture garden.  Other features of the building include a 250 seat auditorium, a shop and the Date Palm Cafe (kosher).
