      National Yiddish Book Center

      Hampshire alumnus Aaron Lansky started rescuing Yiddish books while a Division III student. Since then, he has been involved in the recovery and preservation of more than one million Yiddish volumes.

       

      Hailed as the "the greatest cultural rescue effort in Jewish history,” in recent years the Yiddish Book Center has developed innovative educational programs that open up these books to new generations of readers, students, and scholars.
