Rabbi Joshua TTluhtenberq FOR A Memorial Library .QP..l!.qt~; GREAT TIME ASSOCIATION OF JEWISH liBRARIES ACCREDITATION
This month the Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg Memorial library showcases the "Great Jews" series. These books contain many biographical sketches of Jews who have attained fame in different fields. Great Moments in Jewish History is equally informative, but it focuses on events rather than individuals. So for a great time, come to the library!
Great Jewish Men by Elinor Slater & Robert Slater. The authors pay tribute to Jews who have achieved promi nence worldwide by virtue of the excellence of the works they have produced, the discoveries they have made, and the ways they have improved the lot of humanity. Included are Abraham and Moses, Rashi and Maimonides, Theodor Herzl and Chaim Weitzmann, as well as Franz Katka, Irvin Berlin,Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, and David Ben-Gurion.
Great Jewish Women by Elinor Slater & Robert Slater. The Slaters give special recognition to those Jewish women who have persevered and succeeded, sometimes against great odds. Among those profiled in this book are Golda Meir, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Wendy Wasserstein, Estee Lauder, and Dianne Feinstein.
Great Moments in jewish History by Elinor Slater & Robert Slater. This book brings to life events that have • shaped the· character and essence of the Jewish people. In iMoments of Courage,i we find Esther saving the Jews of Persia and the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto fighting the Nazis. "Moments of Joy" include the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the birth of the State of Israel. Jews have endured too many "Moments of Despair" such as mass suicide at Masada, expulsion from Spain, and Kristallnacht. In the final section, "Moments of Creativity:' we learn about the beginning of mysticism the founding of the first kibbutz, and the first bat mitzvah.
Great Jews in the Performing Arts by Darryl Lyman. Throughout the ages Jewish actors, singers, dancers, and comics from all parts of the world have graced the stage and screen and delighted audiences. This book cele brates the lives of performers from Joey Adams to Efrem Zimbalist,Jr.
Great Jews in Music by Darryl Lyman.
