Join Congregation Rodeph Sholom for a special outing to the Grolier Club for a tour of Jewish Worlds Illuminated.
Since the time of the Babylonian Exile in the early sixth century BCE, the vast majority of the world’s Jews have lived in diasporas, scattered across many lands, cultures, and languages. In these communities, Jewish wisdom and creativity often found their fullest expression in the creation of books. Manuscripts became vessels of memory, imagination, and identity, preserving the richness of Jewish life from Antiquity into modern times.
Jewish Worlds Illuminated is the most extensive display ever of The JTS Library’s Hebrew manuscript treasures and is the first exhibition at the Grolier Club devoted exclusively to Jewish books.
CRS Outings is made possible by generous support from Marcia and David Lavipour, and Maxine Schweitzer.
