New York City Witnesses the Inauguration of the Largest Jewish Library
In a significant development for the Jewish community in Manhattan, a new library has been inaugurated. This library, boasting over 20,000 sacred books, is now the largest Jewish library in the city.
The initiative and funding for this project came from Jay Schottenstein, a prominent figure in the Jewish community. Schottenstein's generosity extends beyond this library, as he has also supported various community projects in New York, including educational programs, synagogues, and community centres.
The library, situated within the campus of the "Shuva Israel" yeshiva, houses a vast collection of books. These include foundational works in Bible, Talmud, Halacha, Hasidism, Jewish thought, and Torah commentary. Notably, the library also contains rare editions of ancient books and research volumes in various areas of Jewish philosophy.
Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, who heads the "Shuva Israel" yeshiva, emphasized that the library's establishment is to deepen the presence of Torah in a major city. Rabbi Pinto praised Jay Schottenstein for his contribution to the dissemination of Torah in the Jewish world, particularly the "Schottenstein Shas" project.
The library was designed with accessibility for the wider public in mind. This means that anyone interested in Jewish literature and philosophy can visit and benefit from the resources it offers.
Rabbi Pinto further stated that the library's establishment is a testament to Schottenstein's commitment to Jewish education and preservation of Jewish heritage. The library is expected to serve as a hub for learning and research, fostering a deeper understanding of Jewish traditions and beliefs.
This new library is a significant addition to the Jewish community in Manhattan, offering a wealth of resources for those seeking to learn more about Jewish literature and philosophy. It is a testament to the power of philanthropy in preserving and promoting Jewish culture and heritage.
