My Jewish Library

I figured that since I cite a lot of books on Judaism on here, I may as well give you a list of the books I frequent when looking for wisdom. Some of these I have read in their entirety, other are so dense that I pick up a chapter or two every few years. They all offer something special. I’ll keep adding to this as I find them scattered around.
