Library of Congress Classification Schedule for Judaism

The Library of Congress Classification Schedule is used by most academic libraries to organize material in a logical, useful order. Libraries use this arrangement to keep related books and similar subjects together in the same location. We have applied the Library of Congress Classification Schedule here to help readers find specific books of interest.

Each section of the Best Books on Judaism – Jewish Studies is organized according to the Library of Congress Classification Schedule designed to maintain focus and avoid the inclusion of works that are outside the scope of the field of study. Utilizing a database created solely to build an extensive catalogue of relevant works and compiled over a 10-year period, our professor and editorial team have chosen the best books for readers, students, and researchers to use during their studies for each topic related to Judaic Studies.
