Welcome to the Cornell Hillel Rabbi Morris Goldfarb Memorial Library! Located on the ground floor of Anabel Taylor Hall, this library collection contains more than 2,000 books related to Jewish topics, from the history of Jews in the United States to Torah commentary to novels, biographies, and poems by influential Jewish authors. This collection is open to the entire Cornell and Ithaca community for browsing and borrowing! Use the new online-searchable catalog at the link below to search for a specific book or author, or just to browse various topics. Click on "About the Hillel Catalog" below the search box for explanations of how to search through our collection. This catalog service is generously provided by the Cornell University Library system. If you don't find what you're looking for in our library, please click on the link to the CU Library Gateway and search their collection. Mezuzah Scroll An image version of the mezuzah scroll is available here for printing and use in our Clocktower Mezuzah. Traditionally, the scroll is handwritten on parchment. Hillel has a supply of kosher scrolls for sale and many online Judaica retailers do also. Please contact us for more information. Audio Files Between student led services and delicious dinners, Shabbat at Cornell is wonderful! These audio files are intended to help anyone who wants to learn the melodies we sing on Friday night to feel comfortable and welcome in any of our Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox services. Try them all and see what feels right for you. The MP3 files aren't recorded by professional musicians, just people who love Shabbat at Cornell, so we hope you'll understand if they aren't perfect. Feel free to download them to your ipod or computer to learn them at your own pace, but we recommend you open the text file before the audio file so you can follow along. |
