National Library of Israel Update--Dr. Ahava Cohen

Bearing Witness: The National Library of Israel's Documentation of October 7th & Its Aftermath--Dr. Chaim Meir Neria
The October 7 massacre and its aftermath have made it evident that the ties between global Jewish communities and Israel are concrete, specific, intimate, and personal. Entrusted with the sacred duty of cultivating and preserving the collective memory of the Jewish people and the State of Israel, in the aftermath of the terrible events of October 7 and the ongoing war, the National Library of Israel (NLI) has embarked on a massive documentation and preservation project, unprecedented in its scope. NLI’s goal is to craft a vast, reliable, and open repository, reflecting a broad scope of testimony, documentation, social media coverage, and public information efforts that will serve the purpose of creating a national memory database.
