In May 1955, a group of prominent German-speaking Jewish scholars and thinkers gathered in Jerusalem with a shared mission: to safeguard the history and culture of a community nearly lost to the Holocaust. This moment marked the founding of the Leo Baeck Institute.
With independent institutes in New York, London, and Jerusalem, LBI has spent the last 70 years preserving the stories, documents, and legacies of German-speaking Jewry. What started as a memorial effort has grown into a global institution dedicated to research, education, and cultural preservation.
As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, we reflect on our journey and the scholars, archivists, and communities that made it possible. Explore our story: https://www.lbi-70.org
