Rambam Library, Torah and reference library in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The Rambam Library is a specialized library in Tel Aviv focused on Jewish and religious literature. It features two floors of reading spaces organized with cataloged collections supporting research in Torah texts and related scholarship.
The library was founded in 1935, the year the Jewish world marked the 800th anniversary of Maimonides' birth, after the Tel Aviv community committee and the city's Chief Rabbinate resolved to create a Torah-scientific library in his honor. Its first volumes came from donations pledged on the 'Shabbat HaRambam' during Passover, gathered by first librarian Rabbi Shabtai Segal. It moved to Beit Ariela in 1977.
The library bears the name of Maimonides, the medieval Jewish philosopher, and its collection reflects his influence on Jewish thought and learning. Visitors encounter works that support religious scholarship and the study of Jewish philosophy.
Visitors can access digital catalogs, use study areas, and speak with librarians trained in Jewish texts. The facility operates on a regular schedule throughout the week.
The collection contains a dedicated section with works by Maimonides and rare manuscripts from different periods. These specialized holdings offer insights into how Jewish thought developed across centuries.
