Bibliography of Early RIETS History 1897 - 1915

This is an index of references to the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary in the New York Yiddish press that was digitzed and made available to the public by the National Library of Israel. Yiddish dominates this collection of primary sources as news and other novel public discourse about the Yeshiva was conducted in Yiddish, the dominant language of the community the Yeshiva served. A few of the sources are in Hebrew or in English, and they are included since they were sources of novel information about the Yeshiva. There is some English language reporting about the Yeshiva, but it generally begins to appear in 1906 and is less directly familiar with the happenings of the Yeshiva. There is still value in English langauge reporting on the Yeshiva during this time as it can provide insight into the perseption of the Yeshiva in more Americanized communities. Nevertheless, this "bibliography" is focusing on the much more numerous collection of Yiddish reporting on the Yeshiva. For some academic writing and a few more primary sources that I could not find on my own, I recommend Gilbert Klaperman's book on the History of Yeshiva University as well as his doctoral dissertation on the subject that preceded his book.
