Holiday Notebooks
Look for a loose-leaf binder on the coffee table as each holiday approaches. It contains little known facts gleaned online about the holiday, its history, and tips for celebrating it - plus games and puzzles for students and adults.
Come and see us…I’ll be here on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons after 1:30pm. If you want to see me at another time about a book you want or services you’d like to have the library work on for you, please call me at x3231 or email me at librarian@mishkantefi la.org to make an appointment, and I’ll be happy to accommodate you.
New Titles
If you’re looking for a book with a Jewish theme – or one by a Jewish author such as Alan Dershowitz or Allegra Goodman – look for it here fi rst. If you don’t see it, ask us to order it. We’re open to anything connected with Jewish culture.
Among our recent additions:
• Robin and Mel Shuman donated Sir Martin Gilbert's beautiful The Jews in the Twentieth Century: An Illustrated History. Whether you read it in depth or just scan the pictures, you’re sure to learn something.
• The Rabbi's Wife: The Rebbetzin in America, by Shuly Schwartz, highlights the contributions of rebbetzins since the beginning of the last century. And for a more humorous fi ctional take on the subject, we have Naomi Ragen’s new Saturday’s Wife.
• Need a presidential fi x between the primaries and the conventions? Check out David Dalin's The Presidents of the United States and the Jews.
• The newest addition to our Bar/Bat Mitzvah collection is Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah: Planning the Perfect Day by Amy Nebens. From the religious aspects to photographers, entertainment, and thank-you notes, it has a wealth of knowledge and ideas.
And check our recent acquisitions for older children and young
adults, including The Hebrew Kid and the Apache Maiden, Julia’s
Kitchen, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
