ABOUT THE JCI ARCHIVE
JCI Archive collections were created by the Institute's founder Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach, during about 50 years of her academic research and teaching activities. Holdings include a wide range of administrative records, historical documents, personal papers, photographs, press clippings, and more. These resources enable a comprehensive study of the evolution of the Joseph Carlebach Institute for Contemporary Jewish Thought in Germany, from its inception in March 1992 to 2015. Notably, the collection includes extensive correspondence related to collaborative academic projects with the Carlebach Arbeitskreis at the University of Hamburg, as well as research materials of Prof. Dr. Miriam Gillis-Carlebach.The Carlebach Family Papers comprises historical documentation spanning four generations of the rabbinical lineage, tracing the descendants of rabbis Alexander S. Adler and Dr. Salomon Carlebach of Lübeck. Most of the material belongs to the Family archive of Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Carlebach of Leipzig. The family immigrated to Israel in March 1936. The material was given to the Institute between 1996-1998 by his grandson Mr. Ephraim Amiran of Kibbutz Yakum. The collection contains a variety of family papers and a treasure of rabbinic manuscripts: sermons, diaries, personal papers, and more.
