Medals of the Judaic Heritage Society

The Judaic Heritage Society was an American organization based in New York that produced commemorative medals celebrating Jewish history, culture, and achievements. It was particularly active during the late 1960s and 1970s. Its president, Robert Weber, initiated ambitious medallic projects intended to preserve Jewish heritage through the art of sculpture. The Society collaborated with artists, historians, and the Franklin Mint to produce collectible series depicting important personalities, historical events, and milestones in Jewish and Zionist history. Obviously, these medals are not Israeli medals but because of the connection with Israel, we present them here nevertheless.
