The Eisner Family: From Stitching Military uniforms to Stitching Together the Red Bank Jewish community is the newest exhibit at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Monmouth County.
The new exhibit will be featured in the opening reception at the Museum Sunday, April 30 from 3 to 6 p.m. Admission to the event, which includes light appetizers, is $36.
Beginning with two sewing machines in his Red Bank house,
Sigmund Eisner built a booming family business which provided enormous opportunities for him and his descendants to employee hundreds of Jewish immigrants, support the founding of two synagogues, and serve the Jewish community in a myriad of ways. Eisner committed to ensuring the continuity of the Jewish community even as he and his children honorably provided military uniforms for the US government and later the Boy Scouts of American. This exhibit will include items on loan from the Eisner collection at the Re Bank Library, the collection of Thomas Minto and Jan Eisner.
