Our Heritage: Jewish
National and University Library
The Jewish National and University
Library serves a threefold purpose: it is the National Library of the
State of Israel, the National Library of the Jewish People, and the

the State of Israel, it collects all material published in the
country. At the same time, it tries to acquire all publications
appearing elsewhere in the world that relate to Israel.
