Library of the Jewish people initiative The National Library of Israel has launched a new strategic planning process aimed at strengthening its role as the Library of the Jewish people worldwide. Under the leadership of Sallai Meridor and the Board of Directors, this initiative seeks to enhance the Library’s global engagement and impact and to open access to and understanding of our shared heritage by growing digital and physical collections - reinforcing our mission to serve as a cultural and intellectual hub for Jews everywhere. Educational, cultural, and professional collaborations —like the Gesher L’Europa program and NLI USA’s initiatives— are central to this vision. The Library’s new strategic plan, expected by the end of 2025, will focus on preserving Jewish stories and strengthening Jewish identity worldwide. NLI is set to play a vital leadership role in ensuring that the history and future of the Jewish people, worldwide, are safeguarded and celebrated in new, innovative, and engaging ways.
