The Reutlinger Community is fortunate to have received a magnificent collection of Judaica from the Ruth and Max Eis Collection. This collection, displayed in three areas of the building, consists of objects gathered from various Jewish communities around the world. It includes Sabbath lamps from Germany, memorial lamps from North Africa, Chanukah lamps from Eastern Europe, pewter candelabra, ceramic Seder plates, Yemenite baskets, and many other religious and cultural artifacts. A committee of volunteers oversees the museum, and the exhibit changes several times a year.

In addition to the museum collection, three stained glass windows, rescued from Eastern European synagogues, are displayed above the front sitting area near one of the museum exhibits. There is also a lending library of framed art available for residents to hang in their apartments.

The Jewish Heritage Museum was recognized as an institutional member of the Council of American Jewish Museums in 2002.
