Museum of the Jewish People

This new project from the Museum of the Jewish People aims to increase donations for those evacuated from southern and northern towns.

The ANU Museum will be permanently displaying the codex in Tel Aviv starting on October 11, 2023. 

Misha Galperin, the museum’s president and CEO, said in a statement that the free admission policy aims to combat prejudice.

The museum features Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Confederate sympathizer Eugenia Levy Phillips.

Two weeks earlier, Moses had paid a record-setting sum for the book — more than $38 million in total. But this was the first time he had ever seen it.

The manuscript is the world’s oldest nearly complete copy of the Hebrew Bible. It was handwritten roughly 1,100 years ago on 792 pages of sheepskin.

This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Israelis to see the actual Codex Sassoon, in actual corporeal form. It should be interesting to see who turns up at ANU next week. 

The museum is allowing the public to view the Codex Sassoon for free while it is in Israel.
