Dear Safranim, You are invited to enjoy the Dorot Jewish Division's new online and in-person exhibition celebrating 125 years of the division, curated by Lyudmila Sholokhova.
Please join me in congratulating Mila on this amazing accomplishment! The exhibition will be on view in New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building through April 3, 2024. There is a much more extensive online component at: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/125-years-dorot-jewish-division__;!!KGKeukY!2KafTSeWi8GEBduhl662k1qsm0AHsc43qHaKnV06RLCltCcCZVvaKD54htRmJ47tQE6kS9QpE5cwdEZpKMRhYfXXMQ$ Here is some more information. The Dorot Jewish Division at The New York Public Library is the oldest publicly accessible collection of Jewish materials in the United States. Comprising more than 250,000 items spanning almost 800 years of Jewish civilization and traditions across the globe, the Division’s collections are internationally recognized for their rich legacy, magnitude, and breadth. Since its founding in 1897, the Dorot Jewish Division has served as a central reference hub by the compilers of modern Jewish encyclopedias and dictionaries. In 2022, when the Division marked its 125th anniversary, plans were put in place to make a range of materials from the collections more widely accessible to researchers around the world through a major online exhibition, which is now available to all. The artifacts in this online exhibition have been chosen for their historical significance, originality, and artistry, including materials that reflect the history and vibrant culture of Jewish communities all over the world, from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Explore more than 100 items from the collections in our online exhibition, including rare manuscripts; treasures of early book printing; materials describing the meeting of tradition and modernity in the 18th and 19th centuries; vital documents that bear witness to the tragedies of the 20th century and the resilience of Jewish communities; and items that offer insight into Jewish life in New York and the United States. >From February 17 to April 3, 2024, a selection of items from the exhibition are on display in the McGraw Rotunda on the third floor of The New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman Building <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman__;!!KGKeukY!2KafTSeWi8GEBduhl662k1qsm0AHsc43qHaKnV06RLCltCcCZVvaKD54htRmJ47tQE6kS9QpE5cwdEZpKMSQMMMOKw$ >. *This exhibition is organized by The New York Public Library and curated by Lyudmila Sholokhova, Curator of the Dorot Jewish Division.* Sincerely, -- *Amanda (Miryem-Khaye) Seigel* Librarian III - Instruction and Outreach Dorot Jewish Division, Room 111 Pronouns: she / her / hers The New York Public Library Stephen A.
