Between Two Worlds Reading Group

In 2025, the Frank L. Weyenberg Library received a grant from the American Library Association (ALA) and the Yiddish Book Center to offer programs that explore Jewish culture and religion through Yiddish literature. The program, Between Two Worlds Reading Group, features three Yiddish books in translation and another book that explores the themes of assimilation, identity, and immigration.

Additional programs supporting this theme will take place at both the Library and at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center (JCC).
