- The Molly S. Fraiberg Judaica Collections
- The Molly S. Fraiberg Judaica Collections contain over 70,000 items including books, periodicals, sheet music, audio-visual materials, and artifacts, a large amount of which is in Yiddish, Hebrew, and English
- The Fraiberg Collections support the
Judaic Studies program at the main campus of Florida Atlantic University, but also serve the needs of the local community.
- Currently, most of the collections reside in limited access stacks on the fifth floor of the library, but as materials are fully-processed, some materials will be transferred into the main circulating and reference collections.
- To access the collection, come to the second floor suite, located at the end of a short hallway (room 261) to the right as you exit the elevator.
- More information can be found at the Fraiberg Judaica Collections Homepage.
- Special Collections

illustration and other aspects of the bookwright's arts are found among a number of the interesting
collections.
