The Jewish Gallery Berlin was founded by the Central Welfare Office of the Jews in 1993 to provide a platform for Jewish artists from Eastern Europe who emigrated to Germany. Among the emigrants were many artists, they met, organized exhibitions and events, which eventually led to the opening of the gallery in Oranienburger Straße in Berlin-Mitte.
The gallery moved to Chodowieckistraße in Prenzlauer Berg and since 2016 it has provided a forum for meeting and exchange for the art studio "Omanut" with Dependance in Berlin-Tempelhof.
