NEWELAZAR07252011 Introduction TEMPLE ISRAEL LIBRARY Is organized according to the Elazar Classification Scheme The Elazar classification scheme, first drafted in 1952 for use in the Library of the United Hebrew Schools of Detroit, Michigan, passed through several revisions and modifications and was originally published in 1962, The National Foundation for Jewish Culture assisting with the circulation of the incipient draft for comment and criticism. Wayne State University Libraries provided a grant-in-aid which prepared the manuscript for publication. The Second Edition, which was published in 1978, was revised on the basis of comments by the members of the Association of Jewish Libraries of Southern California. Rita B. Frischer and Rachel K. Glasser of Sinai Temple Blumenthal Library, and the Central Cataloging Service for Libraries of Judaica (CCS) in Los Angeles, assisted in the preparation and revision of the Third Edition. (See David H. Elazar, and Daniel J. Elazar, A Classification System for Libraries of Judaica, Northvale, N.J.: Jason Aronson Inc, 1997.) Its use has spread widely throughout the United States, Israel, and other parts of the Jewish world. Libraries of all kinds, in synagogues and community centers, in Hebrew schools. On college campuses and in research institutions, have adopted the scheme and worked with it. The system is structured around The following ten classes: 001-099 Bible and Biblical Studies 100-199 Classical Judaica: Halakhah and Midrash 200-299 Jewish Observance and Practice 300-399 Jewish Education 400-499 Hebrew, Jewish Languages and Sciences 500-599 Jewish Literature (including Fiction and Children‟s Literature) 600-699 The Jewish Community: Society and the Arts 700-799 Jewish History, Geography, Biography 800-899 Israel and Zionism 900-999 General Works ELAZAR CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 001---099 Bible and Biblical Studies Torah, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha 001 Complete Bible .1 Art, Rare, Special Editions .2 Hebrew with translation .5 Polyglot Bibles .8 Combined “Old Testament” and “New Testament” The Holy Scriptures.
