Dear Aviva- When you say Yeshiva library, who will be the patrons? Only yeshiva students? Litvish? Chassidish? Modern Orthodox?High school level or above? Is this for English speakers? Basically, I would suggest these sefarim and any English translations that are available. Tanach Mikraot Gedolot Linear English Chumash with Rashi Babylonian Talmud Jerusalem Talmud Mishneh with meforshim Mishnah Torah (Rambam) Mishneh Berurah Shulchan Aruch Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Aruch HaShulchan Responsa ( Shealot U’Tshuvot) of various rabbanim (If this is for a Chabad (Lubavitch) Library include in addition the Lubavitch Shulchan Aruch. Gutnick Chumash has English translation and commentary according to the Lubavitcher Rebbe z’tl.) Chavot Halevovot Mesilat Yesharim Encyclopedia Judaica Aspaklaria (a type of Hebrew encyclopedia). This might be online free. Tanach concordance The 39 Malachos - English, comprehensive laws of Shabbat. That’s my basic list off the top of my head. I don’t know what your budget is or the patrons. Then there are so many books covering Jewish thought and philosophy, some in English. If you’re going to have any databases of online sefarim you may not need so many items in physical format. Let me know if you have any questions. Hindishe Lee Hedi Steinberg Library Yeshiva University
