Please join us at the Grolier Club, 47 East 60th Street, for a private tour of its special exhibit Jewish Worlds Illuminated: A Treasury of Hebrew Manuscripts from The Jewish Theological Seminary Library. Our one-hour private tour will be given by David C. Kraemer, Librarian and Professor of Talmud and Rabbinics at the JTS.
The Library of the JTS houses one of the world’s largest and most important collections of Hebrew manuscripts and printed books. Dating as far back as the 9th century and originating from lands as varied as Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Morocco, and Yemen, the collection represents more than ten centuries of Jewish scholarship, spanning the spectrum of Bible, liturgy, rabbinics, kabbalah, science, literature, and philosophy. The exhibit is the most extensive display ever of the JTS Library’s Hebrew manuscript treasures.
Our tour is limited to 30 people. There is no charge, but registration is required and will close on Tuesday, December 2.
