Re: [ha-Safran] Keep older encyclopedia?
That 1939 encyclopedia is quite special. It describes many European Jewish communities before the Holocaust that n longer exist today. I definitely recommend that you keep it. When I coordinated the Temple Beth Shalom library in Spokane, WA, the custodian found a copy of that encyclopedia. I looked through it and realized what a treasure it was.

Yes, and it is such a pleasure to read, unlike its successor, the EJ, in my opinion.

Re: [ha-Safran] Keep older encyclopedia?
Hi All, I bought a personal copy at a book sale years ago for pennies. I have since then used it with book discussions that have themes of Pre-World War II or the Holocaust. (ie In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson) Some of the entries are frightening given the hindsight and what came to pass.
