[ha-Safran] Encyclopedias

2016-05-12 Thread Barbara Mende
Hi safranim - I'm sure I've bothered you with this before, but now we seriously have to get rid of two sets of the 1970s Encyclopedia Judaica. We're not up to paying for shipping them, so we'd like to find them a good home locally (Boston), but I'm looking for generic ideas as well as specific

Bernice, My synagogue is in a similar situation and we even have a set of encyclopedias that were published on 1906. I would have kept them on the shelf but the rabbi said take them off. I have contacted local universities ( starting with those with Judaica departments) to offer them first
