A Classification System for Libraries of Judaica
including discussions by librarians who have used previous editions.
In August 1997, the 3rd edition of "A Classification System For Libraries
of Judaica" was published by Jason Aronson Inc.(New Jersey USA). The
authors, David and Daniel Elazar (Rishon LeZion and Jerusalem) contend that
there was and is a need for a classification system for libraries with
Judaic collections to classify and arrange these collections according to
Jewish concepts using Jewish thought and terminology. This is in contrast to
the familiar classification schemes like Dewey and LC which incorporate the
Bible, Judaism and Israel into a general, non-Jewish, world of knowledge
without relating the Biblical, Jewish and Zionist (Israel) subjects to each
other in the spirit of Jewish Tradition.
Hazon
- a spiritually and ethically oriented, serious Torah study program directed
by Yosef Ben Shlomo HaCohen, a good guy
Rabbi Ari Kahn of Bar Ilan University, an ardent spokesman for religious
Zionism amidst otherwise Shachian Aish HaTorah's Discovery Program, delivers
a high level kabbalistically oriented overview of parashat hashavua; to get
on his e-mail list, contact him at: akahn@aish.edu
or Kahnar@ashur.cc.biu.ac.il
Machon
Meir - a simple, down-to-earth, gung-ho, religious zionist
weekly study, with a bit on the parsha and education - For some strange
reason, their printed English study sheet carries only Hebrew mastheads. We have printed German
translations of some of their studies
The Meru Project
is based on 25 years of research by Stan Tenen into the origin and nature of the Hebrew alphabet, and the
mathematical structure underlying the sequence of letters of the Hebrew text of Genesis.
OhrNet
- a very non-zionist, but really attractive weekly Torah
magazine, including audio lectures and music
- great for kids! They do quote sources.
For some strange reason, their printed magazine
is also called OhrNet
Root & Branch
- Divrei Torah and very diversified comments on current issues, mostly from a
right wing political perspective, short and succinct, plus weekly schedule
of jerusalem lectures; encourages interfaith and intrafaith dialogue, with a
strong Noachide component.
Torah from Dixie
- a refreshing, "with it" collection of Torah Miscellany
Torah Tidbits
- a long synopsis of the weekly Torah reading, broken down by aliyot, plus
occasional halachic pieces. Sources are not given, nor is there much
integration with secular culture, other than science. Excellent for teenagers
and not overly sophisticated family learning. Elaborate statistics on the
number of letters, words, verses, etc appear each week. A product of the
O-U, it reflects its down-to-earth, modern orthodox, baal habatish
(bourgeois), religious zionist approach
Young Israel
This site contains lots of info on the Young Israel Movement and very good
parsha articles by various Y.I. rabbis.

subjects, as well as Jewish educational gifts and music, are available at TOP.

they comprise His factory authorized instruction manual for mankind.

TOP is an attempt to present authentic Jewish tradition thru
modern language and outlook. Visit our 900 year young reading
room and Jewish video center at 54 Chabad St. as the state of
Israel begins god's messianic redemption, so photos, tapes, &
video may be a prelude to eternal life and resurrection of the
dead! Imagine seeing moshe, rashi, the Besht or your
great-great-grandfather on video!
Yaakov Fogelman, directs TOP,
the Torah Outreach Program and The Jerusalem Jewish Information
Center, in the Jewish 1/4 and edits these Jerusalem Jewish Voice
Torah study sheets.

America, is a graduate of Yeshiva University and Harvard Law
School, and a member of the Massachusetts Bar.

those of 19 other contemporary Torah teachers, appears in

by Jason Aaronson.
This work is copyright, but I'm most happy to have anyone
reproduce it in any form, without charge, subject to two
conditions--that the meaning not be distorted, and that
ideas not be taken out of context, and that credit be given
for the source. God gives us the Torah free and we must so
share it with others; there are other ways to make a living.
To cite the source of an idea brings redemption to the world
