Celebrating 350 Years of American Jewish History
Jewish immigration to America began 350 years ago and brought with it men and
women who substantially transformed nearly every dimension of life and history in
the United States. For America’s Jewish community, 2004-2005 will be an occasion to
celebrate and preserve our history, religion, traditions, and culture.
As we kick off the 350th anniversary celebration of Jewish Life in America, we
commemorate the American ideals of freedom, justice, equality, and pluralism that have
allowed Jews to participate fully in the nation’s economic, political, and cultural life.
Together, we will recount the history of the Jewish community in America and celebrate
the achievements of American Jews and the Jewish community over the past 350 years.
The Klau Library, Cincinnati
Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion’s Klau Library, Cincinnati is one of
the most extensive Jewish libraries in the world. With more than 440,000 printed items
of Judaica and Hebraica, it is the second largest collection in the world-second only
to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. The Klau Library is an
internationally renowned repository for both rare and contemporary materials in the
areas of history, philosophy, religion, the arts, music, literature, and language.
The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives
The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives (AJA) is committed to
preserving a documentary heritage of the religious, organizational, economic, cultural,
personal, social, and family life of American Jewry. The late Dr. Jacob Rader Marcus
founded the AJA in 1947 in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust. It was
created at a time when the Jews of America faced the awesome responsibility of
preserving the continuity of Jewish life and learning. Today, the AJA is probably the
largest catalogued collection of documentary evidence on the history of United States
Jewry in the world.
