June 4, 2024, Press Release from the Office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost: (CINCINNATI, Ohio) — Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost is seeking a temporary restraining order to prevent the sale of copies of the Talmud and other ancient books housed in Cincinnati’s Klau Library at Hebrew Union College. Through the years, donors have given money to fund the library and care for the rare books and manuscripts. Yost’s legal action follows revelations that the college, the first permanent Jewish institution of higher learning in America, has indicated interest in selling some of the precious texts to offset its sizable deficits.
