Mission Statement:
The National Yiddish Book Center is a vibrant, non-profit organization working to rescue Yiddish and other modern Jewish books and celebrate the culture they contain. We have undertaken a number of initiatives to that end: programs for college students and adults, conferences and workships, books on CD, and translation of the finest works of literature in our collection. Since 1980, we have rescued more than 1.5 million books. Every summer the National Yiddish Book Center chooses a select group of interns for an intensive summer of hard physical and academic work.
