Valentine's Day | Jewish Historical Society of Northern New Jersey

Although Valentine’s Day is not a Jewish holiday, many Jews celebrate it not as a religious holiday, but as a day of love and affection. We have selected a few photos from our archives that we think depict the essence of the holiday.
