About the Exhibition, “The Goldene Medina: Celebrating 175 Years of Jewish Life in South Africa”

September 2016 marked the 175th anniversary of Jewish life in South Africa. To mark this historic occasion, the South African Jewish Museum developed an exhibition entitled The Goldene Medina [The Golden Land], which reflected on the religious, social and political history of the Jews of South Africa from 1841 to 2016. Presenting a collection of anecdotes, images and films, the exhibition is a tapestry of the communal experiences that have forged the South African Jewish identity.
