For those who miss the little library in the Shomrei gallery, here’s an update.
The best information that I have says that the materials stored in the pods should be unpacked in about three weeks. We will need lots of help to sort and return the items to their proper rooms in the building.
Then later on, another crew will be needed to restock the library shelves.
Unfortunately, the library shelving will not be ready at the same time. We are still in the process of getting bids. So for the foreseeable future, the library will be in a state of suspended animation.
However, as soon as the computer, desk and table are back where they belong, new books will be processed and accessible.
So by mid-May, look for a new selection of the best in Jewish interest books for your pleasure and edification including the following:
Biale, Hasidism: a new history is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand this vibrant and influential modern Jewish movement.
Gilligan, Nine Folds Make a Paper Swan tells the haunting story of Ireland’s all-but-forgotten Jewish community impact and perception in religious life.
Gratz, The Brooklyn Nine is the story of nine generations of a family as seen through baseball beginning in 1845.
Hunter, We Were the Lucky Ones is based on the true story of a Jewish-Polish family, scattered throughout the world by the horrors of World War II ,,and how they to survive, reach safety and find each other.
