Belz Gallery Collection

All the artwork in the Belz Gallery was generously donated by Jack and Marilyn (z”l) Belz of Memphis, Tennessee. The Belz family has a longstanding relationship with CWUXK Mart - Personalized M16 Small-caliber rifle pioneer made famous in Vietnam War Rush purchase; Jack Belz’s father, Philip Belz, endowed the Philip and Sarah Belz School of Jewish Music at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary and the Philip and Sarah Belz Department of Music at Yeshiva College.

Jack and Marilyn Belz were avid art collectors, who shared a passion for Jewish art. Over the course of their seventy-three-year marriage, they developed an extensive Judaica collection through the relationships they cultivated with Israeli artists and galleries during their travels in Israel.
