FAQ

empty How do I search JEM’s archive catalogue?

Currently, JEMs holdings are not entirely searchable online. However, selected programming may be viewed at www.TheRebbe.org. There you will find links to other JEM sites and various JEM productions which utilize archival footage.
 

empty Are there written transcriptions of the Rebbes teachings?

Likkutei Sichos (literally, "Collected Talks") contains both the scope and the core of the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s teachings, and is the most authoritative source text for the Rebbe's unique, original, and often revolutionary wisdom. Ultimately the existing video recordings of these talks will be preserved and made accessible, but for those wanting to research and study these teachings, more information can be found at TheRebbe.org.

JEM is a unique and multifaceted organization involved in preservation, production and access of Jewish-related materials from a Chabad-Lubavitch perspective. The cornerstone of our ever-growing collection is a lifetime of images and audio of the Lubavitcher Rebbe . But much more remains to be done if we are to preserve these materials for future generations.

JEM needs funds to support and fulfill its mission, and to maintain the services we provide on a local, national and international level, including:
  • Continuing to collect film, video and audio materials that reflect our core collections.
  • Producing new documentaries and other productions which utilize archival materials from our collection.
  • Supporting scholarly research, academic use and media production utilizing JEM’s collection
    around the world.
  • Preserving our collection according to the highest archival standards.
