Celebrate Sukkot and Family with NLI Treasures in New Downloadable Exhibition
The National Library of Israel invites you to decorate your Sukkah with a gorgeous new exhibition celebrating "Family" — the complexities and sub-themes the theme encompasses, and all illustrated with items from Library collections.
The downloadable PDF can be printed as rollups or desktop posters, contains links to a companion website with additional content, and is available for free use.
The exhibition was produced by the Library’s Gesher Le Europa program, in partnership with the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ). For seven years running, AEPJ has marked European Days of Jewish Culture with content featuring items from NLI collections – all seven series are available on the Library website.
Rare Jewish Treasures Featured in Holiday Video Series
Join National Library of Israel for a journey through the Hebrew calendar. The video series "A Look at the Jewish Year" provides insights into the Jewish calendar and holidays through the lens of the Library's renowned collection of Jewish manuscripts, books, printed materials and more.
Exceedingly rare items showcased in the videos include a nearly thousand-year-old Jewish calendar found in the famed Cairo Geniza; the 13th century Worms Mahzor, which includes the first written example of Yiddish and survived the Holocaust; and an 18th century manuscript known as Sefer Evronot featuring an array of stunning illustrations. More modern items, such as an early 20th century poster of a traditional Sukkot holiday meal, and Simchat Torah flags are also presented. The project also includes source sheets with questions and links to additional materials.
The series was produced by the National Library of Israel in collaboration with the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies.
Sukkot Treasures Online For All to Enjoy
NLI website contains a rich selection of information, images, songs, lesson plans, and resource packs that are perfect for keeping children of all ages busy during the Sukkot holiday. Check out the Sukkot at the National Library of Israel page and Sukkot educational resources in English that use NLI primary sources to teach about how the holiday has been celebrated throughout history.
A Virtual Visit to “A Treasury of Words”
The Library's permanent exhibition invites visitors to embark on a journey through the cultural artifacts that are the heritage treasures of the Jewish People and the State of Israel. There is nothing like seeing these in-person but a new online exhibit provides a sampling of the experience. The virtual version of A Treasury of Words highlights the power of text, its ability to change the world, formulate ideas, push them forward, define a place, community, and nation, and express the spirit and talent of its thinkers, writers, and poets.
The stories behind these items and more can also be found in the magnificent coffee-table book, 101 Treasures From the National Library of Israel, now also available in a Hebrew edition. Both are on sale at the Library book shop and online store.
