Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection
The Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection is part of Fogler Library’s media collection, thanks to a gift from the Minsky Judaic Studies Fund, supported by the families of Norman Minsky and Leonard and Renee Minsky of Bangor.
Faculty member Laura Lindenfeld submitted the grant to the New York-based Charles H. Revson Foundation, which required matching funds from local donors. The collection is one of only two in Maine (the other is located at the Jewish Federation of Southern Maine) and serves as an important state resource in furthering the understanding and knowledge of Judaism and Jewish life, history, and culture.
The Minsky Jewish Heritage Video Collection is listed in the online URSUS catalog and housed in Circulation Media-Reserve in Fogler Library. Titles remaining in the collection as of 2020 are listed below, including feature films, children’s programs, foreign and Yiddish classics, television programs, and documentaries. Also, several educational guides are available for use in courses or group study settings.
