The Baal Shem Tov Center

Dedicated to preserving, studying, and making the depth and beauty of Jewish thought accessible to all — through scholarship, publishing, technology, and digital preservation.

Working at the meeting point of Jewish Studies and the digital humanities, the Center brings together scholars, rabbis, and educators to build digital archives, manuscript initiatives, research platforms, public humanities projects, and accessible editions of foundational Jewish texts. Its mission is to preserve and illuminate the shared literary and spiritual heritage that unites the Jewish people and helped shape Western civilization — bringing rare manuscripts, timeless wisdom, and centuries of Jewish learning into the hands of anyone seeking to encounter them.
