RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

This month we are featuring the Leo Baeck Institute (LBI) which is devoted to the history and culture of German-speaking Jews. Its 80,000-volume library and extensive archival and art collections represent the most significant repository of primary source material and scholarship on the Jewish communities of Central Europe over the past five centuries. LBI also promotes the study and understanding of German-Jewish history through its public programs, exhibitions, and support for research and scholars.
