On display and in the archives are traditional items used at the synagogue, at Sabbath and holiday observances and at significant ceremonial and life-cycle events.

The first acquisitions of the Collection began in 1972 and has since grown to include mid-century and modern ceremonial and everyday Judaica.

Housed in a period 1910 building in Paris, the Collection is an important resource for individuals researching Jewish art and history.
