The Ellen Jeanne Goldfarb Community Learning Center
The new Learning Center has Judaic resources located in one space and easily accessible. Over 13,000 volumes are held in the Deborah Library, making it one of the largest synagogue libraries in Connecticut. The Center also houses the Abraham J. Feldman Museum and the synagogue’s archives, two treasures with artifacts of classic Reform Judaism in Connecticut from the past 160 years. The Center includes the Miller Media Center, with free wifi and public access computers, and an AV room, with a wide-screen monitor for projecting PowerPoint presentations, as well as for movies, Internet, and dish tv. There is also a bright and attractive children’s room with a mural hand-painted by local artist Carolann Dvorak.
For more information, contact Jane Zande or call 233-8215 x230.
Friends of the Library The Friends of the Library

and above what the temple can provide in our administrative
budget. In the
past, the Friends has provided financial support
for the Generations Capital Campaign for the
renovation of the Library/Media Center; bought
computers; supported the IsraelMites storytelling program;
