The Museum includes space for permanent, rotating and traveling exhibitions; a small library and media center; an office; and a gift shop. Presentations at the Museum will have themes that resonate with Jewish people in New Jersey utilizing photographs, paintings, panel displays, artifacts, text, music and multi-media. Moreover, the JMNJ will serve a larger purpose, developing educational and cultural programs that promote greater understanding between individuals representing different backgrounds and religions. It will reach out to other groups, creating meaningful conversations and activities around topics such as cultural diversity, social justice, prejudice, nonviolence, and shared religious values. Moreover, it will form partnerships and develop age-appropriate activities for public, private and parochial school students. The location of the Museum in a city with many ethnic and religious groups provides a wonderful opportunity to establish itself as the first center for the study of tolerance in New Jersey.

"Went recently to see Whoopi Goldberg performance and was treated to a performance from young artists from NJPAC jazz ensemble, which were incredible. I had not been there in awhile. Have taken my family to many performances in the past. Never disappointed. I almost forgot what a gorgeous venue it is...". Always immaculate and seats give you more room then you would get at a Broadway show. If you have never gone, it's time to.

"They really did a good job with this arena--outside of parking, which is a bit of an issue, but more on that later.
The sight lines are solid and the sound is very good. The arena is a bit smaller than many a modern day venue, but that actually turns out to be a pretty good thing.
The concourses ..."are nice and wide, with a fine variety of food options, ranging from hot dogs and pizza to sushi and gourmet carving stations. In addition, they have "A Taste of Newark" in the upper concourse, offering fare from many local eateries, such as Hobby's deli.
None of the seats feel as if they are too far away, and unlike the cavernous Izod center, the sound does not die in the upper levels.
One major design flaw is that they've put in a hand rail that separates the center ice seats in the lower section that barricades this section (on each side) from the rest of the lower section. I understand the need for this, as they are offering unlimited food and drink (no alcohol) during Devils games, ...

"Went here for a concert, first time I was ever at the Pru, or in Newark. I was a little skeptical about people telling me I could take the train and walk. I have to say it was pleasantly easy to do, the walk was a little further than I thought but there are dozens of people doing it. I will defin..."itely look to do other events here because of that ease of commute. I don't know if there are good restaurants around, that would be a plus.
One drawback is the escalators, all traffic funnels to the limited escalators so its pretty crowded. Also, on the way out they were handing out pamphlets at the bottom of the escalator. Really? Each person would walk off and stop right there causing a collision with the next person. Not a very well planned idea.
Will be looking to return, very clean and convenient.
