THE LBI

The Leo Baeck Institute, with its independent institutes in Jerusalem, London, and New York, is the leading institution dedicated to the study and promotion of German-Jewish history and culture.

In 2025, we will celebrate our 70th anniversary.

Honorary Patron

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has assumed patronage of the Leo Baeck Institute’s 70th anniversary year. This gesture recognizes the Institute’s vital role in intercultural dialogue, the scholarly study of Jewish history, and its public dissemination to a wider audience.

 

“The LBI tirelessly researches German-Jewish history – a history that continually raises new surprises and questions. In 2025, we will celebrate our 70th anniversary and look back with pride on a variety of projects that deepen the understanding of this history and contribute to a vibrant culture of remembrance in a democratic society.”

 

– Prof. Dr. Michael Brenner, International President of the LBI
