| The
Leo Baeck Institute is devoted to the scholarly study and preservation
of Central European German-speaking Jewry in Modern Times. It was
founded in 1955 and named in honor of the man who was the last
representative figure of Germany's Jewish community before its
destruction in the Holocaust. The LBI consists of highly independent
branches in New York, Jerusalem and London, as well as a circle
of
scholars in Germany. Internationally, it is guided by officers in the
United States, England and Israel, and its financial affairs are
managed from an office in Frankfurt with the assistance of a German
circle of friends and supporters. Its resources include libraries,
archives, and works of art. Its activities, conducted primarily by its
individual branches, include research, publications, scholarly
conferences, and lectures. The international LBI undertakes and coordinates collective activities as well as representing the LBI to agencies of the German government. The international officers are Michael A. Meyer, President (email); Arnold Paucker, Vice President (email); and Yitzhak Steiner, Treasurer (email). |
