One of the first books I bought (not for a class, but because it looked super interesting) in graduate school was Goitein's A Mediterranean Society. Because I found it at the old bookstore at the CJH. So excited that they have a store again! :)

I was so excited when I saw this one! I picked it up at the AJL conference last year, and I *love* that the story is inspired by an object at the American Jewish Historical Society. It's a really lovely story.

And yes, Columbia admin (at the very top level) were right there with offers for help for their neighbor after the fire. (Central Files, Box 621, Folder 19) Another memo to the President shows how CU Buildings staff tried to help at the fire, but there were barriers up.

@MottiWilhelm @ChananyaBerman Yes. Gratz has gone fully digital, and HC had to clear out a significant portion of their collection (the main portion of Lehrhaus Tavern's library came from HC IIRC).

I would have *loved* a bibliography, but alas, there was none.
