At Congregation B’nai B’rith, we provide many opportunities for learning. But there is one that you can hold between your hands: books. Our library and our Sisterhood Gift Shop carry books for both children and adults, and the URJ Press publishes books for all age ranges. Happy reading!
The Temple library features many biographies, novels, children’s books, books about Torah, Jewish holidays and observance, cookbooks, Jewish philosophy, periodicals, and books about Israel.
