Rabbi Clifford B. Miller will share how cataloging books that survived the 1966 Seminary Library fire is, in some ways, like solving crossword puzzles. What defines whether a book is Rare? Is it not boring to catalog rabbinic literature? Through a series of stories, he intends to bring the audience through the process of discovering the title, author, date, place, and subject matter of books or fragments of books that reveal little about themselves. To learn more about Rabbi Miller, visit  If you would like to learn more about Rabbi Miller, you can click here.
