YIVO Jewish Culture Series

This lecture series was developed by Riverdale Temple in partnership with the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. YIVO (YIVO.org) is a Jewish cultural institution known for its world-renowned library and archive of Jewish history and culture. Headquartered in New York City, its public programs cover a range of subjects dedicated to fostering knowledge of the ongoing story of Jewish life.

The YIVO Jewish Culture Series at Riverdale Temple draws its presenters from the extensive network of scholars affiliated with the YIVO. The events are open to the broader community.

Topics will be announced regularly on our site and via eblast. Check back periodically for updates.

“We are delighted with the success of YIVO’s Jewish Culture Series at Riverdale Temple. The overwhelming response to these lectures and events demonstrates the great need for substantive programming about Jewish history and culture for the public.” — Jonathan Brent, YIVO Executive Director
