The Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America houses
the largest and most comprehensive collection of Judaica and
Hebraica in the Western Hemisphere; since its establishment one
hundred years ago, seekers of knowledge throughtout the world have
availed themselves of its vast resources. It was not through mere
chance, hoever, that this magnificent collection of manuscripts and
rare books came into being. Its existence is owed to the efforts of
farsighted Seminary presidents, diligent librarians and supportive
members of the community. Leaders such as Solomon Schechter, Cyrus
Adler, Louis Finkelstein and Gershon D. Cohen understood that
without an adequate library no teaching program of higher Jewish
learning could proceed. In turn, they attracted edicated
librarian-scholars such as Alexander Marx, Nahum Sarna and Menaham
Schmelzer, who diligently organized the Library's officail
treasures, making them available not only to faculty and students,
but to the general public as well. Moreover, the tradition of
concerned philanthropy established in the past by Jacob Schiff,
Louis Marshall, Felix Warburg and Judge Mayer Sulzberger, is now
being carried on by generous friends of the Library. As we stand on
the threshold of the Library's second century, its objectives are
as clear today as they were one hundredyears ago; to enable men and
women to study, teach and observe the tenets of their Faith.
