HELP SUPPORT THE MUSEUM!
In Judaism, eighteen is the numerical value of the Hebrew word “chai,” which means “life.” It has therefore become a Jewish custom to give monetary gifts or charity in increments of 18, thus symbolically blessing the recipient of the gift with a good long life. Please also consider making your donation today one that keeps on giving year-after-year by ticking the appropriate box. Our ‘living’ museum is deeply grateful for each individual chai ($18) pledged by friends, which helps breathe continuous life into our collection.

Giving
The Jewish Cultural Historical Museum needs your help!
Provide a one-time donation, leave a legacy in your will, or donate in honor of someone to support the creation of new exhibits and help maintain the museum and its collection.
Planned Giving
Contribute through your will, provide a one-time monetary or physical donation, or donate in honor of a loved one to help the museum continue its preservation of Jewish Curaçao for generations to come. We rely on the generosity of many to carry out our work as gatherers and keepers of the rich heritage of the Jewish people of Curaçao. Past examples of such benevolence include:
- Mrs. Ena Dankmeyer- Maduro left a legacy in her will which is being used to upgrade all the museum’s permanent exhibitions
- Mr. Paco Diz donated in honor of Morris E. Curiel to restore all the artwork in the museum’s collection
- World renowned painter Suzanne Perlman donated hundreds of her book “Motifs of Curaçao” to the museum so they could be sold to fundraise for the museum
- Loretta Moreno donated dozens of “The Privileged” books by Elias Moreno Brandao to our museum so they could be sold to fundraise for the museum
If you want to stop or need to change a recurring payment you set-up in the past, please contact us at board@jewishmuseumcuracao.org and we will assist you in making your change.
Thank You! Masha danki! Bedankt!
