The Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in New Orleans was honored with the 2025 Richard J.H. Gottheil Medal, given annually by the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. The award was presented at the Museum in July as part of ZBT’s International Convention being held in the city. Named after the spiritual founder of ZBT, the Gottheil Medal recognizes “that individual or group that has advanced human understanding among all people.” Past recipients have included Eleanor Roosevelt, Doctors Without Borders, Special Olympics International, United Service Organization, Hillel International, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
