Hide Profile

The Gitelson family were merchants in New York City. Nehemiah Gitelson bequeathed his large collection of Talmudic works to the Jewish Theological Seminary Library. Nehemiah and Bailey (Weiseiski) Gitelson's son Moses Leo was an ardent bibliophile, and through the Gitelson Library Foundation, he gave copies of rare books, manuscripts and other documents to many institutions and sponsored numerous library projects, with particular interest in microfilms. Through the Gitelson-Kamaiko Foundation, Gitelson and his daughter Susan Aurelia published The Chronicle, a scholarly publication relating to their various library projects.
