Rabbi Weisfeld’s books
About ten days ago I received an email from local woman offering book donation from her husband’s late grandfather’s collection. By the time I managed to go to her she only had 5 boxes left form the original twenty. I picked more than a dozen volumes, see the list below, to be added to the library’s collection. As I learned these all belonged to Rabbi Israel H. Weisfeld, who was a conservative rabbi in Dallas, and Los Angeles and River Forest, Illinois. He was also the author of one of the books we received: David the King. His grandson’s wife is an artist who designed the bookplate, shown below, that I inserted into all of these books.
The books.
