Now is the time to delve into the Sacred
Give your full Self to the search
And rise to the task
of bringing the ark with Adonai’s covenant
and the vessels dedicated for sacred use
to the house that was built to manifest Holiness.
                                             - I Chronicles 22:19

We envision Jewish Milestones as a resource for everyone interested in learning about and creating Jewish ritual. To that end, we have created a lending library with books (both informational and inspirational) on traditional and contemporary Jewish lifecycle rituals; articles; music; poetry; ritual objects, sample invitations and programs, and a list of helpful websites. You are welcome to come and browse.

If you have double copies of prayerbooks, Hebrew-English Bibles or other Jewish books, extra kippot (yarmulkas), kiddush cups, fabric that could be used as a wedding canopy, etc. we would be grateful to accept and acknowledge your tax-deductible donation. You can mail these items or contact us for pick-up and drop-off options.

You can also add to the collection by purchasing books on our wish lists that can be found at Powell’s Books click here (our wish list is registered with the following email address: "admin@jewishmilestones.org") or at our local Judaica store, Afikomen.

We are grateful to all those who have already contributed
