A Basic Jewish Library
For less than $200, it should be possible for you to
acquire enough Jewish books and periodicals of value to keep you busy for
many months. Your collection should include:
-
at least one good history of the Jews (Roth, Sachar,
Grayzel)
-
a few books on contemporary philosophy (Buber,
Rosenweig, Heschel, Kaplan)
-
a good siddur
-
a Festival mahzor
-
the text of the Torah in Hebrew and English
For the rest, follow your particular interest. Books
are available online, through Jewish Book News, at local bookstores, and
through the United Synagogue Book Service. There are also a wide variety
of periodicals of Jewish interest, many offering special student rates.
