| Temple Israel Library Philosophy and History Temple Israel Library has been a Jewish resource center since its inception in 1952. Developing from a single book to its present collection of 7,000 volumes, the Temple Israel Library is dedicated to serving the entire community - both Jewish and non-Jewish - both adults and children. It is a free "public" library for those interested in classical Jewish writings and modern best sellers. Adult Collection The extensive collection of adult books, all of Judaic interest, includes: Fiction, Poetry, Drama, History, Music, Art and biographies of hundreds of well-known Jewish men and women. Our sociology section covers the rites and ceremonies of Jewish family life, intermarriage, anti-semitism, women's role in Judaism, as well as guidance for raising your Jewish child. Children's Collection Beautifully illustrated picture books for very young children, holiday stories and Jewish heroes are just a part of the children's collection. Our "children's corner" is a place where the young are invited to come and be introduced to the traditional Jewish values of the love of learning and the world of books. Special Collections Reference -Provides resources for study groups, both Christians and Jews, seeking to know more about their religious origins. Included are many areas of biblical research and commentary. Rosenhirsh Americana Collection -Jewish history and Jewish contributions to the making of America from 1654 to the present time. Contemporary Israeli Literature -Israel can best be understood through it's Sabra author's diverse points of view writing in both fiction and non-fiction. Sarah and Eli Taylor Collection -Large print prayer books as well as popular fiction are available for circulation. For more information call Temple Israel at 833-8421 |
