Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

You may not know that the library subscribes to a number of newspapers, journals and magazines. I would like to introduce them one by one to encourage you to check them out. I picked The Jerusalem Post as the first one, because we receive that the most often. Once a week we get the international edition of this large format newspaper. You can read the latest news and analysis of what is happening in Israel on 32 pages. I admit that most of the stories are online at the newspaper website . I believe however that it is more comfortable to read a newspaper, well on paper. Also, on the online version you have to pay for anything but the most recent articles. The library on the other hand has all the volumes for nut just this year but also for 2006 and 2007, in case you want to research a topic. Each issue has letters, editorials and interviews and articles in the society, in Israel, trends, opinions, business, books, arts, food and Judaism section.

Here are some articles that grabbed my attention in the current issue:

• The price they pay: the death of archterrorist Imad Mughniyeh even if not the work of Israel, raises the issue of targeted killings
• Obama, Clinton and Jewish good fortune
• What the global forum must do: the fight against anti-Semitism should focus on four targets
• Working at prayer: want to pray at the Western Wall, but don’t live in Jerusalem? For $2 a day you can hire a prayer agent
• Postwar Odyssey: Bernard Schlink on German guilt, legal scholarship and homecoming
• A suitcase full of memories: correspondence from nine family members offers a tragic rare firsthand glimpse into wartime Poland
• Every Jew counts

Come on in when you have a few minutes between your errands and catch up about the world of Jews and Israel by browsing through the latest issue of the International Jerusalem Post.
