$Diffraction Grating Handbook$

It’s a question I am often asked; and the answer is not quite as straightforward as you might imagine. Acquisitions to the library’s collection are made on an ongoing basis and not only reflect the needs of our congregation, but the business of both the publishing and film industries. I buy items for adults and children in three different media—books, audio books and film. They are purchased from a broad array of sources. Acquisition actually takes up a lot of my time! But I do love the challenge. I’ve always loved “shopping,” but it’s really much more than that. Adult Fiction: Books “Away” by Amy Bloom “Exit Ghost” by Philip Roth “Exile” by Richard North Patterson “Gentlemen of the Road” by Michael Chabon “Golem Song” by Marc Estrin “Lion’s Honey: The Myth of Samson” by David Grossman “Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes” by T. Cooper “The Septembers of Shiraz” by Dalia Sofer “Those Who Save Us” by Jenna Blum “When We Were Bad” by Charlotte Mendelson Adult Fiction: Books—Mystery “Death of a Dissident” by Stuart Kaminsky “Fresh Kills” by Reggie Nadelson “Raisins and Almonds” by Kerry Greenwood Adult Non-Fiction: Bible “The Bible As It Was” by James Kugel “The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary” by Robert Alter “How to Read The bible” A Guide to Scripture Then and Now” by James Kugel “Jezebel: The Unknown Story of the Bible’s Harlot Queen” by Lesley Hazelton “Joseph’s Bones: Understanding the Struggle Between God and Mankind in the Bible” by Jerome Segal Adult Non-Fiction “Bagels and Grits, A Jew on the Bayou” by Jennifer Anne Moses “Celebrating the Jewish Year: The Fall Holidays” by Paul Steinberg “Celebrating the Jewish Year: The Winger Holidays” by Paul Steinberg “Can I Have a Cell Phone for Hanukkah?” Library Corner What’s New in the Library? I read professional journals and lots of newspapers and magazine reviews as well as a lot of online information sources in selecting what is useful, appropriate and popular among our library patrons. I try to keep everybody happy. If there is something you’d like but can’t find—ask me. I’ll do what I can to get it for you. In the meantime, here is a brief sampling of recent acquisitions. And there are so many more. Stop by and see for yourself. It’s your library!

The TBS Young Members Group held the second class in its series “Stay One Jewish Step Ahead of Your Child.” Led by Rabbis Levenson and Peltz, the onehour classes are designed to keep parents in touch with what their children are learning about the holidays in school. This session focused on Hanukkah—providing parents with a “refresher” on why we celebrate the holiday, and engaging them in a lively discussion of how to address consumerism and other December holidays with their children. The rabbis then led participants in creating bottles of incense oil for use on their holiday tables. We all rolled up our sleeves and got to work, walking away from the session with a nice keepsake. The next class in the series will be held on January 16 on the topic of Tu B’Shevat. We also celebrated Hanukkah with a pizza How do you improve on something great? Very carefully. We have taken something wonderful and are making it even better. On February 3, we will gather together with our world-wide brotherhood to put on our Tefillin in a true world-wide bond. We are literally extending the walls of our synagogue to embrace others in our mitzvah. Our clubs have always supported their synagogues with Hebrew School involvement and the experience we have seen over the years, where members put on Tefillin for the first time. Planning is now complete, so we hope to see you for the Big Wrap on February 3. Congratulations to Marc Cohen, 2007 FJMC MAR—Man of the Year from TBS. Marc, you have done great things. Keep it up.
