[ha-Safran]: Digitized 13th Century Mahzor Catalonia
The National Library of Israel, David and Fela Shapell Family Digitization Project, is pleased to announce that a digitized version of the Library's manuscript "Catalonia Mahzor" is now available for public access. The "Catalona Mahzor" is a Mahzor for Rosh Ha-Shana and Yom Kippur according to the Spanish Catalonian Rite. It is dated approximately 1280. The text includes liturgical hymns by Spanish Jewish poets. Most of the piyyutim conform to the rites of prayer that have been preserved by Jewish communities which originated in the city of Barcelona or the region of Catalonia. The manuscript is ornamented with micrographic drawings and incipit panels. The manuscript is presented in the DjVu format which provides high quality, magnifiable images compressed into relatively small files for easy downloading. In order to view DjVu images it is necessary to download and install (once) a special free viewer program. The Mahzor Catalonia can be accessed at: http://jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/mss/heb6527/index.html (Description in Hebrew) or http://jnul.huji.ac.il/dl/mss/heb6527/index_eng.html (Description in English) ketivah va-hatimah tovah to all.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Gilad Shalit
Here are the words to the story, which have been posted on the website of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Youtube also has a poignant video of children reading the book, which can be accessed by typing in his name in the Youtube search box or going to the June 23, 2008 section of archived articles on the Librarians for Fairness website. "When the Shark and the Fish First Met" A small and gentle fish was swimming in the middle of a peaceful ocean. All of a sudden, the fish saw a shark that wanted to devour him. He then began to swim very quickly, but so did the shark. Suddenly the fish stopped and called to the shark: "Why do you want to devour me? We can play together!" The shark thought and thought and said: "Okay- fine: Let's play hide and seek." The shark and fish played all day long, until the sun went down. In the evening, the shark returned to his home. His mother asked: "How was your day, my dear shark? How many animals did you devour today?" The shark answered: "Today I didn't devour any animals, but I played with an animal called FISH". "That fish is an animal we eat. Don't play with it!" said the shark's mother. At the home of the fish, the same thing happened. "How are you, little fish? How was it today in the sea?" asked the fish's mother. The fish answered: "Today I played with an animal called SHARK." "That shark is the animal that devoured your father and your brother. Don't play with that animal," answered the mother. The next day in the middle of the ocean, neither the shark nor the fish were there. They didn't meet for many days, weeks and even months. Then, one day they met. Each one immediately ran back to his mother and once again they didn't meet for days, weeks and months. After a whole year passed, the shark went out for a nice swim and so did the fish. For a third time, they met and then the shark said: "You are my enemy, but maybe we can make peace?" The little fish said: "Okay." They played secretly for days, weeks and months, until one day the shark and fish went to the fish's mother and spoke together with her. Then they did the same thing with the shark's mother; and from that same day the sharks and the fish live in peace.

[ha-Safran]: Rosh Hashana Newsletter from Jerusalem Books
Dear Friends, Before I start, I just want to remind you that our recent catalog is available as a word document by email or as a hardcopy for those who prefer. Please be in touch with Wendy. I am pleased to announce that another, the third, volume of the Talmud Ha-Iggud has been published by the Society for the Interpretation of the Talmud. This volume: Babylonian Talmud Eruvin tractate is on Eruvin chapter 10, 'Ha-Motze Tefillin,' with the analysis and commentary by Aviad Stollman. In this volume over 40 'sugiyot,' issues are examined. The text is based on the Oxford Manuscript (366) and compared to seven other manuscripts. Some facsimiles of these texts are included as well as copious, serious footnotes and inclusion, discussion of tosefta, midrash and many centuries of rabbinic commentaries. This is a very successful, important new series that employs the scholarly critical analysis and comparative approach that has been the hallmark of a major 20th century (CE) movement and school with scholars from Professors Saul Lieberman, David (Weiss) Halivny, Golinken, Wald and Shama Friedman, namely the Conservative / Masorti / JTS and Schechter Institute worlds. I apologize in advance if I have inaccurately labeled or grouped any scholar or institution, but the incontrovertible fact is that the critical scientific approach to Jewish Studies and particularly the study of Talmud has been perfected, championed and disseminated by these scholars and institutions. The work includes an English abstract of almost 30 pages and comes with our highest recommendation as an asset for any Jewish Studies library or scholar. ISBN 97896574420209. Cat. #68491 $30.00 In a conscious effort to keep our newsletters short, I will report two items in almost telegraph fashion. First, there was a strike at our ports earlier this month. Ships were not unloaded and many turned away to other nearby ports when port employees defied a Labor Court order to return to work. Ultimately, the work slowdown was called off and we hope that this will have only limited effect on shipping times. Second, I must mention that Merkaz Shazar published a two volume work on the Rambam by Aviezer Ravitzky. Isbn 978-965-227-245-4. There could be so much to say, but, ('Res Ipsa Loquitor,'), the matter speaks for itself. Cat. #68665 $64.50 For those who may have been away we are including our most recent newsletter which we posted in Aug. 2008. * please see that there was a typo when this originally went out Sperber's "Life Cycle" is $65.00 (and not $162.50) . Our apologies to those who have seen this part before: The Hecht Museum of the University of Haifa has published the Great Revolt in the Galilee. A bilingual book (Ha-Mered Ha-Gadol Ba-Galil) by Ofra Guri-Rimon, editor and curator. The book is 122 in Hebrew and 17 pages in English and has articles on the archaeology of Zipori, comparison between Judea and Galilee at the time of the revolt against the Romans, which took place between 66-70 CE, and scholarly analysis of/from Jesephus to Vespian. This is a scholarly yet accessible and enlightening, softcover museum catalog that I highly recommend for libraries from research and reference and all levels of Jewish education. Cat.no. 67179, $39.00 In Hebrew literature we must mention David Grossman's "Isha Borahat me-Besorah" (his translation Until the End of the Land). It's had 7 printings since its appearance earlier this year. Cat.no. 66910 $36.00 Sami Michael's new title - Ayida will also likely be a modern Hebrew classic. This title should not be confused with Verdi's opera. Cat.no. 67437 $29.00 In English we have a number of good picks Daniel Sperber's Jewish Life Cycle - this new book from Bar Ilan is dual published with Oxford Univ. Press. Although it is printed in Israel. If you have not heard about this book yet, please google it. The isbn is 978-965-226-334-6 Cat.no. 67970 Price - $65.00 Gedalyah Nigal, Emiritus Professor of Jewish Literature, Bar Ilan University, has had his monumental work, 'the Hassidic Tale,' published by the Littman Library, isbn 978-1-904113-07-2, Portland Oregon, 2008. This is the translation of the work previously published in Hebrew, which was highly acclaimed. (Cat. #66968) The work would be worthwhile even if only for it's introduction which describes the development of Hassidic literature from storytelling, through, beyond and beside parables, from the 18th until the early 20th Cent. (CE). The largest portion of the introduction includes a summary of significant Rabbinic texts which incorporate the many Hassidic tales. This section charts from the 'Shivhei HaBesht,' through the many important titles, by many Hassidic Rabbis, published in Lemberg. The later portions list and summarize works of R' Simha Bunim Michelson, R' Israel Berger, Kleinman, Yudel Rosenberg, including works published in the early 20th Cent. (p
[ha-Safran]: Synagogue library assistance
Shalom, friends, Recently, I was co-opted to re-vise/re-new/re-establish our synagogue library. The first order of business has been to sort through and evaluate all the boxes of donations which, like orphans, have been left in our doorstep. Now, we can actually see the shelves of books. Previously, the library was organized by volunteers by the Wiene scheme [roughly, I grant]. An Author card, a Title card, and a Book Card had been typed for each item in the collection. We devised a Shabbat check out system which did not require writing; and I'll be happy to share that with any who'd like. My choice of course, would be to automate the library, but I doubt that the expense can be justified at this time. [I can dream.] My question now is : - what software systems are available that would allow us to READ and COPY records which would include Author, Title, and basic Subject Headings, and PRODUCE CARDS and large print SPINE LABELS. I'm familiar with MARCIVE, but that service is much too costly for this instance. Thanks for any guidance you'll offer. And may we each and all be blessed with a New Year of health and hope.

[ha-Safran]: The Band
My husband, a right wing Iraqi-Israeli, enjoyed the movie and was not insulted that the Israelis were depicted to be less "cultured" than the Arabs in the movie. He also understands Arabic and felt the beautiful language used by the band members shows that, despite their inability to get along with us, there are still things we can learn from our neighbors.
