5 distinguished organizations
The Center for Jewish History provides a home for five distinguished organizations: American Jewish Historical Society ("AJHS"), American Sephardi Federation("ASF"), Leo Baeck Institute ("LBI"), Yeshiva University Museum ("YUM"), and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research ("YIVO"). A whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, the synergy of Eastern European Jewry, Sephardic Jewry, German-speaking Jewry, and the American Jewish experience makes the Center for Jewish History a unique institution of historic significance. The collections of the research institutions at the Center total more than 500,000 volumes and 100 million archival documents, and include tens of thousands of pieces of artwork, textiles, and ritual objects, as well as music, films, and photographs. They comprise, taken as a whole, the largest repository of the modern Jewish experience outside of Israel.
