This is a follow-up to an earlier posting I forwarded to Hasafran on behalf of the New York Board of Rabbis.
PEM From: Stephen Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 3:54 PM To: Miller, Philip Subject: Thank you Dear Jewish Librarians - Todah Rabah - THANK YOU for your support. Today the New York Board of Rabbis is sending off 7 cases of Jewish books into the New York State Corrections system provided by different libraries. These books are being added to prison libraries throughout New York State for the benefit of inmates - both Jewish and non-Jewish. The books range from novels with Jewish themes to basic information on Judaism to even one on needle pointing Jewish themes. We have chaplains serving close to 75 correctional facilities. The NYBR works closely with our chaplains, helping them meet the needs of over 3,000 registered Jewish inmates within these facilities. If you have duplicate or no longer needed Jewish themed books in "like new" condition that you can donate to be sent into NYS prison libraries, we would be glad to pay the UPS postage to receive them. We can always use Chumashim/Bibles. Finally, if you have Jewish educational materials appropriate for a prison library in LIKE NEW condition, such as Hebrew/English Talmud sets, commentary sets, etc., please feel free to contact us about donating these as well. Again, thanks for the support you as a group have provided up to now. In advance, thanks for your continued support.
