Joyce and others,
In addition to the Hebrew U Dewey expansion, the regular new
Dewey schedule, # 22 has a greatly expanded plan for Judaica. You might
chooses to use that one. Marion Stein

There is also an expanded Dewey, used at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day
School, Rockville, MD, and soon to be used by me at the Melvin J. Berman
Hebrew Academy. Since we have a large secular collection as well as the
Judaica, I wanted one system for the whole library.

Actually, Weine is closer to Dewey. Elazar uses the numbering but in a
totally different order. Weine just changes the 200s (religion) and a few
others as needed (I don't have it with me and haven't seen the scheme in
several years) Eleazar takes the decimal structure and completely rebuilds.

Thanks for all of the responses. I am happy to share some of the comments
from our wise colleagues. I'm passing them on to the rabbi, and will be
happy to assist him in classifying his collection. I also included a
comment about my question and my response. Sorry for the
You may want to pass this on to him. I chose the Elazar System because it
seems to be a combination of the Dewey Decimal System and the Kabbalah.
The kids in our local school system are used to the Dewey Decimal System so
that is why I chose to use that.
