There is an important collection...
There are several commentaries on the siddur and mahzor as well as a number of classic works in Kabbala.

Jewish history in the antique period (Greco-Roman) is an important section in the library as is the history of Greek Jewry in its many forms - Romaniot and Sephardi as well as more regional aspects - Crete, Salonika etc.

There is an important collection of resource material on both Christianity and Islam. Many of these are classic texts - but there is also much on the interaction or confrontation of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There is a special section dealing with the Shoah in general and Greece in specific.

We are happy to announce that as a public resource the synagogue has opened its library to the public. It has a collection of over 1500 books in special categories: History. Ancient Near East, Greek and Roman. Byzantine, Arabic and Ottoman. A basic collection of primary sources in Jewish, Christian and Islamic spirituality has been assembled. There is a special section on Byzantine and Near Eastern Christian spirituality and history. A quite separate section is devoted to psychology and philosophy with most of the works of Freud, Jung, Kierkegaard and Existentialist writers of this century.

Anyone interested in using the library should contact the synagogue, at 28210-86286 (Click here for our opening hours). Or sent us an email to make an appointment.
