The mission of the Yiddish Book Center is to encourage the growth and conservation of Jewish culture and education. More than a library, the Yiddish Book Center is a hands-on museum, where visitors are encouraged to pick up the books and read. You’ll look at the art, hear oral history, and learn all about Yiddish literature. Extensive programs, including learning how to translate, graduate fellowships, and taking part in the Pakn Treger, the Yiddish, English-language magazine, are available to those interested. The Center also hosts several events, like Yidstock or Yiddish festivals, throughout the year.
