Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

As you know Purim is upon us soon. The library has one “serious” book about this most festive of festival, Philip Goodman‘s Purim Anthology. This thick volume is really at least four books in one; there is enough material for a whole book on the story alone, another one on Purim’s literary/artistic/musical connection, a third one on joy and one even for young people. Speaking of which, the library has 11 different children book related to Purim. So if you would like your child to enjoy the holiday more, because s/he knows more about fee free to borrow one. We also have an audio tape from Debbie Friedman singing Purim (and Chanukah) songs. The last item maybe the most fun to have around in this season; it is a tape titled “Purim! Stories, songs & blessings for children.” Nine out of the 22 pieces on the tape are songs. You will like at least a few of them.
