The Dorot Jewish Division is responsible for administering, developing and promoting one of the world’s great collections of Hebraica and Judaica. Reference and research services are available in a dedicated Jewish studies reading room on the first floor of the Library’s landmark Stephen A. Schwarzman Building.
You can contact us with your research questions at freidus@nypl.org. (The Jewish Division's reference email is named after Abraham Solomon Freidus [1867-1923], the first Chief Librarian of the Division).
