Library Book Sale at Temple Sinai Aug. 8-9

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Temple Sinai, Saratoga Springs’ Reform Jewish Congregation, will host a grand used book sale of hard and soft cover books for the public, honoring the memory of Jack Schoen, whose large and varied donation of Jewish books forms the majority of the hundreds of good-quality used books the temple’s library is offering.

The book sale will be held at Temple Sinai at 509 Broadway on Tuesday-Wednesday, Aug. 8-9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Schoen, who died in 2020, was a Jewish literature omnivore: his donations range from the textual and philosophical to the light and humorous, with a very generous quantity of firstrate fiction and memoir.

Proceeds from the sale will help maintain and further expand and house the library. Today the library contains approximately 2,500 unduplicated volumes.
