Visit the Yiddish Book Center!
Are you looking for an engaging activity for your school group or Yiddish club? Perhaps a day trip for your senior center? The National Yiddish Book Center offers guided tours by appointment for a variety of ages and organizations and for all sizes of groups.
Group tours can be tailored to all ages. They generally begin with our 12-minute orientation film, A Bridge of Books, in which founder and president Aaron Lansky vividly recounts the story of the Book Center and its mission. Following the film, you’ll be joined by a member of our Visitors Center staff for an overview to the National Yiddish Book Center and taken on a guided tour of the Yiddish book repository.
Group tours are $5 per person. Additional fees apply for public programs.
Questions? Please contact Arielle Jackson by calling 413-256-4900 ext. 124 or by emailing ajackson@bikher.org.
