The retention of seven positions to support the creation of virtual public programs, library discussion groups, and the cataloging and sharing of digital content. 

The Yiddish Book Center seeks to revise its plans for 40th anniversary launch of the "Decade of Discovery." The inaugural year with a focus on Yiddish in America will be realized through weekly virtual public programs, virtual public library discussion groups, and cataloging and sharing of digital content through website, social media, and email. Staff positions will be preserved and scholars/humanities specialists will be engaged for programming.
