[image: From the Desk of Chancellor Shuly Rubin Schwartz] Dear JTS Community, I write to share the news that Dr. David Kraemer, Joseph J. and Dora Abbell Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics, will be stepping down from his role as Librarian on June 30, after 22 years of distinguished service. He will return to full-time academic duties, continuing to serve as an inspiring and dedicated teacher of Talmud and Rabbinics. Professor Kraemer’s accomplishments as Librarian are numerous, and both JTS and its students, as well as the wider public, have benefited greatly from his leadership. His connection to JTS spans decades, beginning with his arrival as a student in 1977. He began teaching in 1980, received his PhD, joined the faculty full-time in 1984, and assumed the position of Librarian in 2004. Alongside his work in The Library, he has published numerous books, articles, and op-eds that have shaped his field and inspired colleagues. His vision and commitment to making The JTS Library’s Rare Book collection accessible has made them a key part of the education of JTS students, while also ensuring that scholars and the wider public could more easily engage with these treasures. Under his guidance, The Library has digitized many of its most important manuscripts and processed and catalogued thousands of rare and semi-rare books salvaged from the 1966 Library fire. The Library reached a key milestone when it became the first major Genizah collection to digitize its holdings for the Friedberg Genizah Project, demonstrating that the process could be done safely and efficiently, and paving the way for digitizing numerous other collections. Recognizing the profound ways in which new technologies necessitated reimaging the form and function of libraries, Dr. Kraemer led several successful strategic planning initiatives that laid the groundwork for the new campus facility, which includes a new exhibition gallery and state-of-the-art conservation lab. These initiatives also subsequently led to the development of a new website, which we are excited to launch soon. This new online resource will further expand access to our treasures, making it possible for anyone to explore key items in the collection and consider what they teach us about Jewish history and culture. This new website will vastly expand the number of people who can experience our collection. Most recently, Dr. Kraemer served as the co-curator for the largest exhibition of Library <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://Marketing.jtsa.edu/acton/ct/16589/s-0b0c-2510:0/Bct/l-df0c/l-df0c:8914/ct1_0/1/lu?sid=TV2*3AXjUc5Xt4t__;JQ!!KGKeukY!wJmQsVGEHZsxbiPvK3mTXWnPgMznDP-S_7oGqmSz884zgDz4Y3hn4pSglRHuYWQcBHk8b_WKTRywvAsG8ObAQw$ > manuscripts ever at the Grolier Club, which I urge you all to visit before it closes on December 27, 2025. This landmark exhibition is the most extensive display ever of the Library’s Hebrew manuscripts and is The Grolier Club’s first exhibit devoted exclusively to Jewish treasures. It features over 100 manuscripts and books, exploring the diversity of cultures in the lands in which Jews lived. Dr. Kraemer’s last major project as Librarian will be the publication of a catalog documenting The Library’s great treasures. This volume will be a lasting testimony to the richness of The Library’s collections and their importance for our understanding of the Jewish past. We are fortunate that Dr. Kraemer will remain on the faculty, ensuring that JTS students will continue to benefit from his scholarship, wisdom, and mentorship. We look forward to sharing news about new Library leadership as our plans develop. Please join me in wishing Dr. Kraemer a heartfelt thank you for his years of dedicated, stellar service to The JTS Library.
