This book marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Hebraic Collection of the Library of Congress.
(This book was published in 1991, so this is 30 years ago.)

The exhibit, From the ends of the Earth, Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress, presents as Sumptuous sampling of these book manuscript, and Prints for what they are, rare and important signposts on the four thousand-year-old Journey of the Jewish spirit.

Founded in 1914 as the Semitic Division, the Hebraic Section’s Beginnings can be traced to Jacob H. Schiff’s gift in 1912 of nearly 10,000 books and pamphlets from the private collection of Ephraim Deinard a well-known bibliography and Bookseller, as well as an initial grant of $15,000 to establish Judaica.

Americas 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson took an interest in the library from its early Inception in 1800. Limited in function, it was originally intended to serve the needs of members of Congress, the library remain small in size and narrow in scope. On August 24th 1814, British troops Set Fire to the Capitol Building, and burned down the library. When the news reached Jefferson, he decided to sell his entire collection of books to restart the New Library of Congress.

In Jefferson's collection are the genuine works of Flavius Josephus, the Jewish historian, who in 75 CE, at AGE 38, wrote the JEWISH WAR, and 18 years later, he wrote the ANTIQUITIES OF THE JEWS, to explain who the Jews originally were; Editions of Josephus began to appear in the early years of printing, translations multiplied, and second only to the Bible, it was the most popular work in colonial and Early Republic America.

- One wonders how the generation of Jefferson, having recently thrown off the Yoke of domination of an imperial power, reacted to the Jewish War, The Saga of a rebellion cruelly crushed, an uprising which brought not Liberation but harsher subjugation, Exile, and enslavement.

(COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE WARNING THAT KEPT THE EARLY PRESIDENTS IN LINE?)

In the years that followed, the library DEVELOPED AND EXPANDED its Hebraic Holdings to include all materials of research value in Hebrew and related languages.

Of equal importance for the American Jewish community, is the special relationship which Jews have had with America from the outset of the settlement of this continent. As the NEW NATION FLOURISHED, SO DID THE JEWISH PEOPLE, along with dozens of other nationality groups seeking to be free. To Jews, America was the “Goldene Medineh” , while American streets may not literally have been paved in gold, two Jewish immigrants the equivalent was realized in the opportunity granted to each person to express deeply-held desires to be free to create, to build, to study, and to practice all manner of religion or none at all.

The Hebraic section received its 2nd major boost as a result of the enactment of PUBLIC LAW 480 in 1958, which 25 American Research libraries including the Library of Congress were supplied with a copy of virtually every book and journal of RESEARCH VALUE published in Israel, a program coordinated by the Library of Congress, that lasted nine years, from 1964 to 1973, and provided each of the participating institutions with an average of 65,000 items.
