How to Access the Scholem Library

The Scholem Library is a combination of Gershom Scholem's personal collection and the National Library's special collection on Jewish mysticism.  It is the only library in the world specializing intensively and comprehensively in the field of  kabbalah.   Scholem was the first library director of Israel's National Library and the world's leading authority on Jewish mysticism.

To access the Gershom Scholem Library Catalog at the National and University Library follow these steps: Press the link below to Bar Ilan University's catalog which is linked to all the other universities in Israel, then continue through the levels of the menu listed below until you reach the Scholem Collection.  This is a non-lending collection. We have not found a way to telnet directly into the Scholem Library Catalog.
