yiddish book center印象

I just returned from visiting The Yiddish Book Center where hundreds of thousands of books written in Yiddish have been saved for present and future generations. The Book Center is a place that honors tradition and reveals the importance of not allowing things of beauty to be destroyed. Reading about Aaron Lansky's determination to preserve Yiddish language books from all over the world was awe-inspiring. This Center is phenomenal to visit. I highly recommend it.

I love Yiddish, but I'm sure people who don't know anything about it will get a lot out of the exhibits. There's also a wonderful bookstore, focussed on East European Jewish culture but including fun children's books and other stuff. Combine it with a visit to the Eric Carle Museum, and you've got yourself a great afternoon in Amherst.

Here I thought that for all intensive purposes Yiddish was a dead language. But with 1.5 million Yiddish books as a foundation, there are classes, programs, a gift store and much more to stimulate interest in keeping Yiddish alive.

Lansky and the staff are heroes for saving a dying culture! Bravo - thank you! We've been to Yidstock twice, and it is just getting better. Great music, excellent exhibits, bring your dancing shoes.

This is a free museum that tells the story of the Jewish Faith very well. Don't skip the introductory film as it cronicals the amazing history of the museum and will help you to understand the purpose of the Center and depth of the collections. There are interactive exhibits for kids and special exhibits to see. There is a lot of information related to the Holocaust. You can visit for an hour or stay for the day. Staff is helpful and welcoming. I live close to this museum and wound up there somewhat by accident. It was a really interesting place and easy to fit into a busy schedule. Don't miss it.

This is an amazing place -- library, museum, and much more. I only had time this trip to glance around at what was new since my last visit a few years ago and to purchase some Yiddish-themed gifts in the bookstore. The receptionist was especially helpful at pointing out new areas Abe exhibits.

People of the Book - All! For starters, be sure to see the ten-minute Introduction to the Yiddish Book Center. Not to be missed... Check out the superb oral histories and impressive variety of presentations - some a collage of voice(s), a coming together of photos, a clever and dynamic range of visuals.I'm in agreement with "Dance! Sing! Celebrate!" A review that you'll see "below"...

We went out of our way on a snowy, slushy, lousy drive to the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art from Great Barrington to find out this was around a few corners also on the Hampshire College in Amherst was a very pleasant surprise. (For some of us this was a pleasant surprise. Others of us don't always do well with surprise...)We saw the short film that did a bit to explain this amazing place first. Then we walked around the place, on a sort of self- guided tour. It's a wonderful place. Please go if you're are nearby! (And the weather's not horrible.)I enjoyed the galleries full of family photos, the videos of people made by the museum staff, the old movies of Yiddish performers, the children's book section, and the books books books!!! What a lovely building!

The Yiddish Book Center is a treasure and wealth of information with largest collection of Yiddish books. 3rd annual Yid-Stock was over the top, six different Klezmer bands and workshops.

The Yiddish Book Center is an enormous collection of books that have been, and continue to be, collected from all over the world. The Center preserves the written materials of this amazingly rich language, as well as providing opportunities to learn the language. Their oral history project collects testimonials from Jews of many nationalities and backgrounds. They also have musical and film events. A very rich cultural experience.
