A little bit of background from the Center’s Flickr profile:
The Center for Jewish History is the home of five preeminent Jewish institutions dedicated to history, culture, and art. It unites under one roof collections that bring together centuries of Jewish life:
- The American Jewish Historical Society, focusing on “American Jewish community to life in the Americas from the 16th century to the present”;
- The American Sephardi Federation, “dedicated to strengthening and unifying the American Sephardic community and promoting its spiritual, cultural, and social traditions”;
- The Leo Baeck Institute, “documenting the vibrant history and life of German-speaking Jewry”;
- Yeshiva University Museum, representing “over 2,000 years of Jewish history from the Bronze Age to the present and include many rare artifacts”; and
- The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, “devoted to the study of the history and culture of East European Jewry.”
The Center for Jewish History in The Commons:
The Center for Jewish History joined the Flickr Commons on April 12, 2010, with over 300 photographs of people, events, and artifacts from its wide collections.
Among the Center’s sets are representations of the collections of each of its five institutions, and other entry points into the collection, including these:
