Since 1990 JAP has preserved over half a million pages from thousands of rare, out-of-print and classic Hebrew works in Rabbinics at JNUL.
Now these titles are available to you over the Internet in conventional and electronic facsimile editions! These include Responsa, Commentaries, rare First Editions, Kabbala, Encyclopedias, Homiletics, Incunabula, Periodicals, Midrash, and basic texts in Rabbinics from the worlds largest Hebrew library. It's simple and inexpensive to order authentic reproductions from rare and reference Jewish books here on our home-page. Here is how you do it using four buttons:
Landmarks describes the unique role of printing in transmission of Jewish traditions, highlights events in the history of Hebrew printing and the destruction of Hebrew books during persecutions.
Adopt a Book tells how paper acidification is destroying Jewish collections today. We outline our preservation programs at JNUL and how you can help save this heritage by joining the JAP "ADOPT A BOOK" program.
