Just found in JTS Library: invitation to ground-breaking of first Haifa to Jerusalem railroad—linking the Holy City to the coast. My, how things have changed!

In the category of “you never know what a cataloger might find,” Rabbi Cliff Miller recently cataloged a modern Persian translation of the Babylonian= Persian Talmud. Look at these gorgeous end-papers, a (sideways) image of ancient Jerusalem!

JTS reference librarian Ina Cohen recently responded to an inquiry from a member of the Cherokee Nation about rituals similar to Jewish ones. Are they one of the Ten Lost Tribes? Century-old writings in our Rare Book Room say yes, Ina explained, but scholarship says no.

Cliff Miller just cataloged a rare book documenting the work of Soncino publishers. An example from 1485 (in our collection) states, “Torah will emerge from Zion and the Lord’s word from Soncino,” not Jerusalem. Where Jewish books are printed is Jerusalem! (See last line below.)

For those who have difficulty imagining what the revelation at Sinai looked like, a little help from the JTS Library: a Haggadah manuscript from Leipnik, 1732. Have an inspiring Shavuot!

If not for the pandemic, a group sponsored by the JTS Library would have been there today to learn about the Cairo Geniza. Sad we couldn’t do it.

An unusual work in our collection—manuscript of a failed play by Theodor Herzl. Sometimes you have great ideas (a Jewish State), sometimes not so much. Happy Yom Ha’atzmaut!

The wedding of Hayya Gletzer to Hayyim Schwarcbard took place on September 17, 1946 in the DP camp of Bergen Belsen. Both lived in Cracow before the War and were married to different spouses who perished. Their ketubbah testifies to the desire of survivors to start new lives.
