Israeli Dan Tadmor Appointed CEO of Weitzman Museum

Tadmor aims to transform the Philadelphia-based museum into a national hub for Jewish life while addressing rising antisemitism.

Dan Tadmor, former CEO of Tel Aviv's ANU Museum, has been named the new president and CEO of the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History.
Tadmor previously led a $100 million transformation of ANU, shifting its focus to global Jewish unity, which is seen as a model for his plans at Weitzman.
The museum is seeking to join the Smithsonian Institution, a move that could provide federal funding and enhance its national profile.
Tadmor plans to counter antisemitism by focusing on the vibrancy of contemporary Jewish life rather than solely on historical persecution.
The Weitzman Museum, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2021, aims to update its exhibitions and storytelling methods to reflect modern societal changes.
