21st century learning can take place in the town school or the town square. The Shulamith Reich Elster Resource Center at the Partnership provides a stimulating environment within which one may learn Jewish content or craft learning experiences for themselves or others in homes, retreats, on trips, or in more formal settings. In the Isaac Franck Library you will encounter 20,000 volumes of print resources on history, rituals, texts, Israel, and Jewish life in America. You may use them as “study partners” in the Beit Midrash study hall in the Partnership, check them out for two weeks, or view the catalogue at http://isaacfranckjpl.tlcdelivers.com and make your reservation by emailing [email protected] or calling the Partnership. Selections of Jewish children’s literature are available for borrowing, and as examples for building a home library. Families planning life cycle events can review resources to make rituals and the d’var Torah learning meaningful and accessible to guests. Professional educators can find material and human resources that expand presentation strategies and suggest engaging content for learners of all ages. The video and expanded DVD collection focusing on Israel gives expression to the art, history, culture and religion of the Jewish people. Engaging resources for enriching your Jewish learning and living are also frequently updated on www.pjll.org.
