Alliance Museum: “Kol Israel Haverim” (KIAH)

The “Alliance Museum” is an advanced digital platform that tells the story of the heritage of the communities, their leaders and sages, the students, educators, and administrators who took part in the important work of “Alliance: Kol Israel Haverim” (KIAH) for more than 165 years.

The museum offers a unique model that combines historical research and documentation with an experiential engagement with documents, photographs, letters, films, articles, and stories. This exclusive combination enables:

  • The Preservation and Accessibility of the Heritage:The museum preserves important historical information, including exhibits, photos, documents and stories, and makes it accessible in a variety of ways. Intergenerational connection: The museum serves as a bridge between generations, allowing young and old students to learn about and connect with their family and community heritage and the story of the Jewish people's heritage. It provides a unique educational and cultural experience that encourages pride and belonging.
  • Education and Values:The museum conveys core values such as education, humanism, equality, and mutual responsibility, that have always been at the heart of the mission of “Alliance: Kol Israel Haverim”. Visitors are invited to learn and draw inspiration from the organization's educational and social legacy.
  • Accessibility and Broad Reach:The museum is available anytime, anywhere, offering easy and engaging access to its content. 
  • Sharing Experiences:Visitors can share their experiences with family, friends, and communities.

Testimonies, Stories, and Memories

Today, the knowledge available to the broader public about the heritage of “Alliance” and the broad activities of its communities is limited and does not reflect the wealth of information found in archives and held by alumni and their families, who safeguard many documents, certificates, photographs, memories, and valuable treasures. The museum invites the public to share these materials, integrating them into the existing collections. The museum presents a more complete picture of the national and zionist heritage, increasing awareness of its value and encouraging pride, connection, and a strong sense of personal and communal identity. This, in turn, helps support meaningful change and strengthen identity-building processes within Israeli society. Visitors will be able to explore the social and educational impact of the organization and find inspiration to apply its values in their own personal and professional lives.

Visiting the Alliance Museum

A visit to the museum is an educational and cultural experience that provides a sense of belonging and pride, offers relevant information, and creates connections to the values of the Alliance legacy. The museum features background materials, photographs, documents, stories, exhibits, and films that bring history to life. You can tour permanent exhibits as well as rotating exhibitions, which highlight broader topics, bringing visitors closer to key figures and communities and helping Israeli society reconnect with a missing part of its historical narrative.

Investing in Innovation – Education Through Technology:

The museum tour incorporates cutting-edge technologies, including interactive and immersive 3D experiences, suitable for individuals or groups. Its information and digital content are available to the public 24/7 in three languages, Hebrew, French, and Spanish, and are accessible from any smart device, personal computer, or school and community systems. The museum will soon include advanced search capabilities, cross-referencing tools, and integration with other content databases, allowing users to explore and engage with its material in deeper, more dynamic ways.

Partnerships and Collaboration 

The museum promotes collaborations at various levels, with heritage centers, museums, archives, and libraries in Israel and around the world. We work in partnership with Alliance Israélite Universelle in France and with the Alliance Archive, the largest Jewish archive in Europe.
