A Tour of Hollander Books

  • Der Nister Downtown Jewish Center 639 South Spring Street 14a Los Angeles, CA, 90014 United States (map)

The first thing you notice when walking into Der Nister is an immense amount of Jewish books. You may wonder, what are these? Whose are these? Are they for sale? How did they get here? Where can I find what I'm looking for? The first thing to know is that they are part of the Hollander Books collection, purveyed by Rabbi Henry Hollander.

Rabbi Hollander has been in the book business since 1989 and was the first person in the world to sell Yiddish books online. After a number of storefronts and warehouses in San Francisco, he has come to Los Angeles with his business and allowed Der Nister to haunt its non-book filled spaces. The collection is diverse, spanning languages, centuries, subjects and disciplines.

Rabbi Hollander will give you — yes you — a complete guided tour of the bookstore, Hollander Books, and where to find the Hebrew literature, German biographies, Yiddish Yizkor books, Jewish law compendiums and so much more. Don't miss this opportunity!
