is to look at Cutter's Judaica reference sources : a selective, annotated
bibliographic guide (1591581338) and see what areas you are going to
concentrate on. Then decide how many feet for each main subject - and
Hi,
Thank-you to those who responded to my query about Holocaust labels.

In our synagogue library we use the Weine system and mark fiction as "F" and
young adult fiction as "YA F." The Sydney Taylor collection this year
is full of

The title is "Uzu u-Muzu mi-Kefar Kakaruzu" and was published in Hebrew in
1987 (Keter, Jerusalem).
The Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature website says that an
English translation "is available", but I didn't find any further

Does anyone have any books they can recommend on the Irgun, Haganah and Lehi?
Many thanks.

A local family is looking for a place to donate siddurim. They are
old but in good condition. Some are translated into Yiddish, Polish,
Russian or Hungarian. There may be other sefarim, as well. Any
suggestions that I can pass along?
Thanks.
