The CJA (Centre for Jewish Art at the Hebrew University) has announced that the largest recent additions to the Index were the results of a number of recent endeavours

These include a research trip along the Volga River (supported by Dr. Betsy Gidwitz), the results of an important research trip to Croatia (supported by the Keller Foundation), the images of the Gross Family Collection, Tel Aviv, and documentation of all Jewish cemeteries in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg and Hajdú-Bihar Counties in Hungary, provided by our colleagues in ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative.

The Index continues to be recognised as a global repository of images of Jewish culture.  Click here to visit the online archive https://cja.huji.ac.il/
