 The library complements the adult educational programme, provides recreational reading and supports lifelong Jewish learning. We are fortunate to have many books covering all areas of Judaism including Jewish festivals, life cycle, history, biography, fiction, culture and philosophy, as well as an extensive range of reference books and books about Israel.
The library is open whenever the Synagogue is open.

Preliminaries by Yizhar Smilansky [reviewed by Barry Hyman]
Yizhar Smilansky (pen name S. Yizhar) who died in 2006 aged 90 was in the forefront of Israeli writers and in his last novel 'Preliminaries,' reasserted that position. Translated by Rabbi Dr. Nicholas de Lange, and available in the synagogue library, it is a strongly autobiographical novel, which progresses frame by frame, showing a boy growing up in a Jewish farming community in Palestine and in the young city of Tel Aviv in the 1920s.
