Recent newsletters  have shared a few of the exciting new collection items that Schottenstein-Jesselson Curator of Judaica Collection Arthur Kiron acquired, such as a Yiddish translation of Romeo and Juliette, a collection of stories for children written by Anne Frank, a manuscript of kabbalistic remedies and charms, and an engraved dagger.

Arthur Kiron, Schottenstein-Jesselson Curator of Judaica Collections, acquired a wealth of new collection items over the summer. Eager to announce this news and determined to give each acquisition the attention it deserves, we included only a few new items in the fall newsletter—a Yiddish translation of Romeo and Juliette, a collection of stories for children written by Anne Frank, and a Tsarist government edict.

We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Nir and Inna Feldman Haifa Collection. The Feldman Haifa Collection is a unique urban archive comprised of one hundred discrete subcollections documenting the Israeli city of Haifa, dating mainly from time of the British mandate in Palestine through the early State of Israel. The earliest materials in the collection date from the 1860s and the latest from the 1960s.
