Gefilte fish: sweet or savory? Take the poll!
As we celebrate the Centennial of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, we reflect on its history and mission.
Dedicated to studying Jewish life in Eastern Europe, the institution was displaced during World War II, forced to relocate from Poland to New York City, thousands of miles from its birthplace and the culture, history, and language it sought to safeguard and perpetuate. In its adopted home, YIVO would go on to expand its collecting efforts and use new technology to continue its mission.
Your support will fuel new initiatives, reaching new audiences and connecting new generations to their heritage.
From all of us at YIVO, thank you for being part of our global community!

Sweet or Peppery?
Gefilte fish is traditionally eaten during Rosh Hashanah because its preparation does not require separating the fish’s flesh from the bones, a type of work which is forbidden during Shabbat and the holidays.
