Bennett Zion Feld Library

The library at Ohev Shalom was created with the purchase of the congregation’s original building in Richboro.  It originally consisted of just a donated bookcase, a few box loads of donated books, and the efforts of three dedicated volunteers, Bernice Berkowitz, Soni Feld, and Judy Friedman – none of whom were professional librarians.  Soni had taken a course for volunteer librarians at Gratz College and had the previous experience of setting up libraries at two other synagogues. Books that had Jewish content and/or authors were included in the library.
