The Edmond de Rothschild Library is the PAS center for learning and research, books, film, music, and online Jewish resources. The Library is a haven where congregants of all ages learn Torah, read novels, surf the web, chat in Yiddish, listen to cantorial gems, or play with Hebrew alphabet blocks. You can join one of the classes that meets in the Library, borrow a DVD to view at home, read a board book to your toddler, or visit Torah study sites on the Internet. Our Librarian Extraordinaire, Marga Hirsch, can help you find your next leisure read, research a knotty question, interlibrary-loan a book from another library, or choose a Jewish book for your child or grandchild.

Library Hours
Monday through Thursday 12:00 – 6:30 pm; Friday 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Marga is generally in the Library at other times as well – feel free to stop by with questions or for book recommendations! The room is always open, with instructions on the desk for how to check out books in Marga’s absence.

Just for kids
Kids’ Shabbat Book Basket
Every Shabbat, look for the book basket (near the ushers) with Jewish books for children of all ages to look at while sitting quietly in their seats in the synagogue. Let your children enjoy the books during services and return them so that others may read them next week.
