Beautiful store, run by a reaally sweet woman.  Not exclusively Jewish
(maybe 40-60%), and didn't have much music last time I was there,
although it was a few years ago.

"Traditional" style Jewish bookstore, one of the largest in the nation.

Wonderful fantastic place, one of the first Jewish stores with a focus
on handcrafts, contemporary music and books, and a generally
non-Orthodox perspective and clientele.  Anybody who goes to Boston
should check it out.  And I'm not just saying that because I worked
there for years... :)

Not appropriate for me to comment on this one... :)

Haven't been here for a few years either (and it was before I opened my
own store so I was looking at it with different eyes), but I remember
being impressed.  They had a nice music selection with a wide range.

Is this yours, Mayer?

Bet Shemesh in Israel?  I don't think it was there when I lived on
Kibubtz Tzora... is it new, or was I just oblivious?
