A Guide to Our Library
The Library is home to close to 10,000 items: books, videos,
audiotapes. It was originally built at our Temple on Linwood
Boulevard under the auspices of the Temple Brotherhood, which
named it in memory of its departed past president Harry S.
White, a scholar of Judaica and Hebrew teacher in our religious
school. Most of our material for adults comes from this collection,
including fiction, non-fiction and videos. Additional collections
are the Rae Dloogoff Memorial Women's Collection,
the Anthony Memorial Fund, and the
Gruen-Stiefel Fund.
The Sonia Krevitt Goldstein Fund for the
Visually Impaired helps to provide the Library with
books-on-tape and large-print books.
The Jeffrey and Jennifer Kleinstein Memorial Children's Library is the source for most of our widely-used children's section, while our Dr. Seuss books and some contemporary children's books translated into Hebrew come from the Jacob Rockwell Osman Memorial Collection.
Parent/Teacher Resource Shelves supply mostly non-fiction how-to books on Judaism and learning Hebrew. Included are a few juvenile fiction works about difficult topics such as death and the Holocaust. Add to this an extensive Reference Section, with the Encyclopedia Judaica, atlases, a couple of editions of the Talmud and you have everything you need to immerse yourself in Jewish learning.
