National Yiddish Book Center - Outwitting History!

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, the Book Center has embarked on an ambitious campaign to raise $25 million to build a permanent endowment and safeguard the irreplaceable books we've rescued. At last - Yiddish culture will be given the permanence and security it deserves!

Why an endowment campaign?
