The Leo Baeck Institute in Jerusalem
The Leo Baeck Institute (LBI) is named after the symbolic figure of German-speaking Jewry in the 20th century: the prominent Reform rabbi and scholar (1873 – 1956), who also assisted the prisoners after he was deported and brought to Theresienstadt concentration camp. As well as the main institute in Jerusalem there are also centres in New York and London, as well as an academic community in Germany.
