CROSSROADS AND CONNECTIONS:  COLLECTIONS OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF ISRAEL

The Walnut Street Synagogue is pleased to partner with the National Library of Israel (NLI) and NLI-USA to present the Crossroads and Connections virtual exhibition to our community.  The NLI is home to the intellectual and cultural treasures of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide.  They have recently embarked on a visionary journey of renewal, including a wide range of initiatives to expand their collections and make them available to audiences worldwide. As part of this initiative, and in celebration of Israel’s 75th anniversary year, NLI presents this exhibition of 18 highlights from their collection which represent cultural and religious creativity in Israel past and present.

Two alternatives are available to access the exhibition – video format and digital format which includes images of each item and additional links to relevant resources.

Video – Crossroads and Connections video format

Digital – Crossroads and Connections digital format
