Jewish Languages
In 2016, the National Library of Israel piloted a partnership with the European Days of Jewish Culture, a project of the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ), celebrating Jewish culture in dozens of cities throughout Europe annually in early September.
The theme of the 2016 European Days of Jewish Culture focused on Jewish languages. The NLI drew on the vast materials in the Library's collections, providing participating cities with materials to create their own exhibits as part of their own local events.
The exhibition produced by the NLI consisted of seven panels, each displaying the history of a specific Jewish language, providing specific examples from the treasures in the Library archive and collections.
