The Yiddish Book Center will host its annual Melinda Rosenblatt Lecture featuring Aaron Lansky, the Center’s founder and longtime president. In what will be his final public talk as president, Lansky will reflect on the improbable beginnings of the Center, its evolution over 45 years, and his hopes for the future under the direction of long-time executive director Susan Bronson. The lecture will be followed by a celebratory reception. It is free and open to the public, with both in-person and livestream viewing options available.
