Rachel,
I've run our little temple library (as a volunteer) for the last 15
years. Although the Los Angeles area is large, and there are some
magnificent Jewish libraries around, the suburbs around me, Burbank and
Pasadena, don't have libraries in their congregations. Offering library

It' s admirable that you' d like to share your library's resources
with members of the other synagogue and with your community at large.
Maintaining and staffing a library requires funding, however- -

Our synagogue has approximately 200 or so copies of Chaim Stern's
Gates of Heaven: services for children and their parents for the Days
of Awe. They are paperback books and in pristine condition. I will

I was asked to share names of books I got, so here are some of
them. HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY LAG B'OMER BOOKS. That could be a

No rules for Michael (Shavuot)

The story of the ten commandment
If you find any, please share the list. Both are in short supply!
The best I can find for Shavuot are Ruth stories. There is also
Mountain of Blintzes. I usually end up telling a story for Lag B'Omer.
