If you share our excitement at these discoveries, help us find more of them.

Well over a thousand Yiddish books arrive at our door each month from all over the world. Each book needs to be sorted, cataloged, preserved, translated, researched, and shared. These core tasks make everything else possible: sparking curiosity in a new generation, infusing new creativity into modern Jewish culture, connecting us to the past, and making sense of our history. 

With your support, we can discover more of the hidden gems in our collection, unlock their secrets, and share these treasures with readers the world over. Please, won’t you make your generous, tax-deductible contribution today?
