The Dorot Jewish Division is uniquely constituted as both a subject and a
language division. While the collection offers commentary on all aspects of
Jewish life, it also includes Hebrew and Yiddish-language texts on general
subjects. About forty percent of the Division’s holdings are in Hebrew characters
and the remainder are in other languages, primarily English, German, Russian,
and French. The Division is especially strong in bibliographies and reference
works, Jewish Americana, history and social studies, Kabbalistic and Hasidic
works, texts by Christian Hebraists, rabbinic responsa, Hebrew and Yiddish
literature, and periodicals and newspapers.
The Dorot Jewish Division holds the records of the Emergency Committee in Aid
of Displaced Foreign Scholars, which contains diverse material about the
migration of European (often Jewish) scholars to America in the 1930s and 1940s.
