Speizman Jewish Library
Who, What,
Where, When
and Why
By Amalia Warshenbrot
As a new year begins, I wish
to introduce the Speizman
Jewish Library to newcomers
and reintroduce it to the many
people who walk through the
library door. (Librarians call
them library patrons.) The
Speizman Jewish Library is open
to all “y’all!” It serves syna
gogue and JCC members at no
charge. Others are required to
give a refundable deposit for
security, but are certainly wel
come. Most of our patrons are
the Hebrew school students,
their teachers, and the JCC staff.
We also receive daily requests
from the non-Jewish community.
These inquiries come form col

members of the clergy, and peo

Jewish Library for research on
the Holocaust and Israel. Now

the “what” is simple.
What kind of books will you
find in the Speizman Jewish
Library? Our collection includes
fiction and non-fiction. We have
reference books with Jewish
content and books by Jewish
authors for all ages. We also
have Jewish magazines.
Where are we located? We
are in the JCC building in the
Education Wing, in a location
convenient to the Hebrew

schools. In fact, we are across
from the school offices (Temple
Israel Religious School, Temple
Beth El Religious School, the
Consolidated High School of

When are we there? Our

around all the school hours.
When the schools are in session
the library hours are: Sunday

Thursday 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
and 2:00 pm - 5:45 pm;
Wednesday 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
Sometimes we close the
library for twenty minutes so the
Librarian can give undivided
attention to children who come
Amalia^s personal
favorite for this month:

Philip Goodman, published by
the Jewish Publication Society
This seven-volume set
covers all the holidays and
includes selections from the
Bible, ancient and modern
prose and poetry, a history of
the holiday and its observance,
traditional foods, songs and art.
The children’s selections are
brimming with stories and hol
iday activities. There are indi
vidual volumes for Rosh
Hashanah, Yom Kippur,
Sukkot and Simchat Torah.
