Why A Library in South Florida?
The Sorala's Community Library (SCL) is a non for profit library filling a void within the South Florida Orthodox Jewish community, through age and content appropriate books. Sensitive to the religious, mental and physical needs of our families, SCL has created a space where parents can feel confident to let their children freely browse and choose books which will enhance their literacy and enjoyment of reading. Adults, as well have a plethora of sensitive and highly rated reading material for enjoyment, research, as well as self help.
Who Was Sorala?
To have known, or even met, Sorala was to have been infected by her simchas hachaim. Her happy smile and sparkling eyes were her trademark. She was focused yet fun; she worked in the corporate world yet was a tzanua in manner and dress. She was genuinely interested in your life… she didn’t just listen, nod and forget about what you said. She actively assisted those seeking jobs in her field and was involved with shidduchim, cheerfully volunteered wherever help was needed… and above all, she would daven with her whole heart if you shared your tzar with her. It is impossible to encapsulate her goodness in this brief summary.
Now, when she can no longer do for others, it’s our turn to do for her - to continue her legacy as a zechus for her neshama and ensure that the chesed she loved to do is perpetuated. With this in mind, we have created a library with the hashkafos and sensitivity that so personified Sorala. Even more so, a down to earth and fun environment, focused on spiritual growth and enhanced learning in an enjoyable and fun atmosphere.
So much like Sorala.
