The Dora Teitelboim
Center is dedicated to carrying
on its namesake's legacy through translating and publishing the works
of Jewish writers, scholars and poets the world over and circulating them
at reduced costs to Jewish cultural institutions, schools and organizations.
In order to accentuate the beauty of these writings, the center produces
artwork reflective of the struggle of the Jewish people and their triumph
over adversity.
The original artwork is
displayed prominently at Jewish centers and galleries. And the Center’s
newly published books can be found at the Dora Teitelboim Memorial
Library at Temple Beth Or in Miami. The library also contains important
Yiddish works by the great masters as well as other important authors.
