Havurah's Library
The Havurah Shalom Library is managed by Marjorie Bennett. It supports Havurah members in our pursuit of learning as follows:
- Support for staff and students of current and forthcoming Havurah educational programs, classes, and workshops
- Support for the creation of new classes
- Support for informal study of Jewish knowledge, practice, and heritage
- Exposure to current Judaic issues, thinking, and literature
- Books (fiction, non-fiction, reference)
- Media (music CDs, cassette tapes, videos)
- Periodicals (Commentary, Hadassah, Hakol, Jewish Life, Jewish Woman, Moment)
