National Library of Israel Digitizes New York Jewish Week Archives, Offering Public Access to Historical Records
The National Library of Israel has digitized nearly five decades of The New York Jewish Week, making its archives freely accessible to the public for the first time through its Historical Jewish Press collection. This initiative provides a comprehensive record of Jewish life in New York, spanning from the community's founding in 1654 to contemporary issues. The archive captures major events, everyday issues, personalities, and cultural shifts that have shaped the Jewish community in the city. To commemorate this milestone, the National Library of Israel and The New York Jewish Week will host an event titled 'The Pages of Our Past: Digitizing New York’s Jewish Stories' on November 17, featuring discussions with past and present journalists and the project manager from the National Library of Israel.
