FS: The Folk Literature of the Kurdistani Jews: An Anthology

2011-06-15 Thread Henry Hollander
Call 415-831-3228 or email to reserve a copy. $18.00 postpaid in the 
US. or $28.00 outside the US. We ship and bill to libraries. 
Individuals are asked to prepay via check, charge card or paypal.

THE BOOK

Sabar, Yona, translated from Hebrew and Neo-Aramaic Sources with 
introduction and notes by. "The Folk Literature of the Kurdistani 
Jews: An Anthology." New Haven, Yale University Press, 1982. First 
Edition. Octavo in dust jacket, xlii, 250 pp., map, list of 
abbreviations, glossary, selected bibliography, indexes.  Hardbound. 
Very Good. Yale Judaica Series Volume XXIII.

Ariel Sabar wrote eloquently about his father Yona Sabar 
and his efforts to preserve the language and literary creativity of 
the Kurdistani Jews in the recent, " My Father's Paradise: A Son's 
Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq." This collection is the 
most accessible version of the material that the elder Sabar's work 
available to non-Hebrew readers.

   "Yona Sabar, himself a Kurdistani Jew, offers 
representative selections from the types of Kurdistani literature: 
epic re-creations of biblical stories, midrashic legends, folktales 
about local rabbis, moralistic anecdotes, fold songs, nursery rhymes, 
sayings, and proverbs. Sabar's introduction and notes are a 
storehouse of information on the history and spiritual life of the 
Kurdistani Jews and on their relationship to the Land of Israel.
 Because almost all the Kurdistani Jews now live in 
Israel and speak Hebrew, there is very little new literary activity 
in their Neo-Aramaic dialects. This delightful anthology captures the 
essence of Kurdistani Jewish literature, presenting it for public 
enjoyment and preserving it for the future." from the book jacket. (13904)

[ha-Safran]: FS: Medicine and the German Jews: A History

2011-05-31 Thread Henry Hollander
An interesting enough book to place in a general library. $18.00 
postpaid withing the US. Additional beyond the moat. Call 
415-831-3228 or email to reserve. We ship and bill to libraries. 
Individuals are asked to prepay.

Efron, John M. "Medicine and the German Jews: A History."

New Haven, Connecticut, Yale University Press, 2001. First Edition. 
ISBN: 0-300-08377-7. Octavo in dust jacket, viii, 343 pp., b/w 
illustrations, notes, index. Hardbound. Very Good.

"Medicine played an important role in the early secularization and 
eventual modernization of German Jewish culture. And as both 
physicians and patients Jews exerted a great influence on the 
formation of modern medical discourse and practice. This fascinating 
book investigates the relationship between German Jews and medicine 
from medieval times until its demise under the Nazis.

John Efron examines the rise of the German Jewish physician in the 
Middle Ages and his emergence as a new kind of secular, Jewish 
intellectual in the early modern period and beyond. The author shows 
how nineteenth-century medicine regarded Jews as possessing distinct 
physical and mental pathologies, which in turn led to the emergence 
in modern Germany of the "Jewish body" as a cultural and scientific 
idea. He demonstrates why Jews flocked to the medical profession in 
Germany and Austria, noting that by 1933, 50 percent of Berlin's and 
60 percent of Vienna's physicians were Jewish. He discusses the 
impact of this on Jewish and German culture, concluding with the fate 
of Jewish doctors under the Nazis, whose assault on them was designed 
to eliminate whatever intimacy had been built up between Germans and 
their Jewish doctors over the centuries." from the Yale Press website. (58102)

[ha-Safran]: FS: El Lissitzky's "Had Gadya" in facsimile

2011-05-19 Thread Henry Hollander
A well made inexpensive facsimile of one of the most prized Jewish 
Artists books of the twentieth century. Offered here for $12.50 
postpaid within the US. More elsewhere. Call 415-831-3228 or email to 
reserve a copy. Individuals are asked to repay.

El Lissitzky [Lazar Markovich Lissitzky]. "Had Gadya: The Olny Kid. 
Facsimile of El Lissitzky's Edition of 1919." Los Angeles, Getty 
Reseach Institute, Getty Publications, 2004. ISBN: 0-89236-744-X. 
Quarto, glossy illustrated paper covers, xii, internal wraps around 
the facsimile reproducing the covers in facsimile, 24 pp., color 
illustrations throughout, inside covers also printed and reproduced 
here.  Softbound. Very Good. Edited by Arnold J. Band. Introduction 
by Nancy Perloff.

"This edition offers not only a facsimile of Lissitzky's lively 
original, including the rarely seen wraparound cover, but also an 
introduction to its cultural and artistic contexts, sections on its 
imagery and polyglot vocabulary, a new English translation of the 
song from Lissitzky's Yiddish, and lyrics set to music." (From the 
rear cover.) The high point of Lissitzky's specifically Jewishly 
oriented work. What is most notable about this body of work is the 
attraction that Lissitzky had for what was pleasurable in Jewish 
observance and practice. In addition to the cover illustrations there 
is a full page color illustration for each of the twelve verses of 
"Had Gadya," the giddy, rauchous, silly and mystical song that 
concludes most Haggadot and Seders. (58216)

[ha-Safran]: FS: Two Books about Jews in Comics

2011-05-16 Thread Henry Hollander
Two titles about Jews in the comic strip and comic book world. 
Available individually as priced below or together for $18.00.

Buhle, Paul, edited by. "Jews and American Comics: An Illustrated 
History of an American Art Form." New York, The New Press, 2008. 
ISBN: 978-1-59588-331-4. Quarto in dust jacket, 198 pp., b/w 
illustrations throughout, contributors, notes, contributor and art 
list. Hardbound. Very Good. With sections on Jewish comic strips in 
the Yiddish and Yellow press, Super-Heroes, Underground comics, and 
the recent personal works on Jewish identity. (58256)  $12.50 
postpaid within the US.

Ro, Ronin. "Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the American 
Comic Book Revolution." New York, Bloomsbury, 2004. First American 
Edition. ISBN: 1-58234-345-4. Octavo in dust jacket, 298 pp. 
Hardbound. Very Good.
The Golden Age of Comics was a very Jewish 
product. Kirby created his first great character, Captain America, in 
1940. What was most interesting about comics in the 50s was Jewish 
although the profits were elsewhere. In the 60s and 70s Lee and Kirby 
rejuvenated the idea of Superheroes. In the 1970s the Kirby went his 
separate way creating his underappreciated "New Gods" series.
Ronin Ro tries to give a fuller picture of 
Kirby's career, and insights into a personal life which seems to have 
rarely strayed far from the demands of his drawing board. Churning 
out 15 pages a week is considered superhuman in the world of the 
superhero comics, but Kirby kept to a regime like that for decades, 
working late hours and sleeping until noon, ultimately producing an 
estimated 25,000 pages in his lifetime. (58260)  $10.00 postpaid 
within the US.

We ship and biil to Libraries and Institutions. Individual should 
prepay. Call 415-831-3228 or email to reserve copies.

THE BOOKS

"Institute for Advanced Study " NJ . Linda G. Arntzenius $21.99

Founded in 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was conceived of 
high ideals for the future of America and its system of higher 
education, and was made possible by sibling philanthropists Louis 
Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. Guided by education expert 
Abraham Flexner, the Bambergers created an independent institution 
devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. The Institute for Advanced Study 
opened its arms to scholars "without regard to race, creed, or sex." 
It provided a haven for Jewish intellectuals fleeing Nazi Germany, 
including Albert Einstein, who remained on the permanent faculty 
until his death in 1955, and became the intellectual home of such 
luminaries as J. Robert Oppenheimer, John von Neumann, Kurt Gödel, 
Marston Morse, Oswald Veblen, Hermann Weyl, Homer A. Thompson, Erwin 
Panofsky, George F. Kennan, Clifford Geertz, and Freeman Dyson.

"Jewish Pioneers of the Black Hills Gold Rush " SD.  Ann Haber Stanton $21.99

The very name Deadwood conjures up vivid Wild West images: saloons 
with swinging doors, brazen dance-hall girls, buckskin-clad Calamity 
Jane roaming the streets with her erstwhile paramour, Wild Bill 
Hickok. The setting is the lawless Dakota Territory of 1876 at the 
start of the Black Hills gold rush, a stampede for the golden pay 
dirt. One would hardly expect to find a Jewish pioneer grocer named 
Jacob Goldberg in this scene, yet Deadwood's story is incomplete 
without Goldberg. And Goldberg's story is incomplete without either 
Calamity Jane or Wild Bill. Not just Goldberg, but Finkelstein (also 
known as Franklin), Stern (also known as Star), Jacobs, Schwarzwald, 
Colman, Hattenbach, and many other Jews joined the throngs. The Jews 
provided much more than overalls, chamberpots, and the chambers in 
which to put them. They also became the mayors, legislators, and 
civic leaders who helped bring sense and stability to this unruly 
expanse. Those of you who, as I did, were excited by the portrayal of 
the Jewish mechant in the HBO Series 'Deadwood' the truth of an even 
more Jewish Deadwood will prove an added pleasure.

"The New York City Triangle Factory Fire" NY.  Leigh Benin, Rob 
Linne, Adrienne Sosin, Joel Sosinsky, HBO Documentary Films  $21.99

Through historic images, "The New York City Triangle Factory Fire" 
honors the victims' sacrifice and serves as a reminder of the ongoing 
struggle for the dignity of all working people. (Sorry not have 
gotten the word out about this title sooner.)

PS: Also back in print: "Flatbush: The Heart of Brooklyn."  Neda C. 
Allbray. $24.99

The BOOKS

Shatskikh, Aleksandra. "Vitebsk: The Life of Art." New Haven, Conn., 
Yale University Press, 2007. Quarto in dust jacket, xx, 391 pp., 
frontispiece map, b/w and color photos and illustrations, Appendix: 
Students at the Vitebsk School of Art, notes, selected bibliography, 
index. Hardbound. Translated into English from the original Russian 
by Katherine Foshko Tsan.
 "This book examines the artistic life of Vitebsk during the 
years 1917-1922, when a great burst of creative experimentation 
transformed the modest Russian town into one of the most influential 
gateways to the art of the twentieth century. Spurred by native son 
Marc Chagall, who returned home after the October Revolution in 1917 
to take the position of art commissioner, Vitebsk rose to a pinnacle 
of fame as an artistic laboratory for the avant-garde. It was here 
that such luminaries as El Lissitzky, Yuri Pen, Kazimir Malevich, 
Nikolai Suetin, Mikhail Bakhtin, and others worked, inspired one 
another, and made distinctive contributions to modernism.
 Art historian Aleksandra Shatskikh surveys the entire "Vitebsk 
phenomenon," drawing on an array of archives in Russia and Amsterdam, 
many of which have never been open to Western scholars. She discusses 
Chagall's Academy of Art and its major teachers and students; the 
founding of the artists' group, UNOVIS; Malevich's architectural 
experiments; Bakhtin's circle; and important developments in theater 
and music in Vitebsk. With more than two hundred outstanding 
illustrations, the book brings Vitebsk to life at a fascinating and 
transformative moment in art history" from the flaps of the dust 
jacket. There is an excellent review "In the Beginning, There Was 
Vitebsk," in the Forward by Joshua 
Cohen.  http://www.forward.com/articles/12913/  (56845)  $28.00 
postpaid within the US.

Magnes Museum." Berkeley, CA, The Judah L. Magnes Museum, 1984. First 
Edition. Quarto, paper covers, 99 pp., b/w and color illustrations, 
list of ornamented bags, glossary, select bibliography. Softbound. 
Very Good. These ornamented bags for Tallit and Tefillin give us

glossary, select bibliography. Softbound. Very Good. One of the few 
works on this subject. Torah binders or wimpels are textiles made 
from the cloth which covers the new-born male during the circumcision 
ceremony. This is largely a phenomenon of the Jews of the German 
speaking lands. These cloths were cut into (usually) narrow ribbons 
and embroidered with a notice of the details of the birth and with 
decorative illustrations and designs. They were then used as a cinch 
to tie the two sides of the Torah scroll together when the Torah was 
placed back into the ark. (29397)  $18.00

The following offered for  $18.00 within the US. Additional 
elsewhere. Call 415-831-3228 or email to reserve. We ship and bill to 
libraries. Individuals prepay.

Tahan, Ilana. "Hebrew Manuscripts: The Power of Script and Image." 
London, The British Library, 2007. First Edition. ISBN: 
978-07123-4921-5. Royal octavo in dust jacket, 160 pp., color 
illustrations throughout, glossary, further reading, index of 
manuscripts, general index. Hardbound. Very Good. The manuscripts are 
presented in by subject: Biblical Works, Liturgical Works - Prayer 
Books, Liturgical Works - Hagadot, Legal Codes, The French 
Miscellany, Philosophical Manuscripts, Micrography and Hebrew 
Illumanated Manuscripts (16th-19th Centuries). (56680)

Most libraries will have copies of Gutman's "Illuminated Hebrew 
Manuscripts" which is physically larger than this, but limited to 
illuminated manuscripts which is far from the whole story. This is a 
very nicely printed book and the photography is straight and not 
manipulated to suppress bleed-through of the manuscript images from 
the versos. That certainly adds to the sense that one is seeing the 
manuscripts as they really are. Ms. Tahan, who I believe is a member 
of this list, provides a solid but not overly scholarly introduction 
to the subject and very helpful comments on each of the manuscript 
pages reproduced. In preparing this work she has had the boon of the 
wonderful collection of Hebrew manuscripts held by the British Library.

Ms Tahan is also the author of the following work:
Tahan, Ilana, compiled by. "Memorial Volumes to Jewish Communities 
Destroyed in the Holocaust: A bibliography of British library 
holdings." London, The British Library, 2004. First Edition. ISBN: 
0-7123-4820-4. Royal octavo, black cloth with gold lettering, color

Regiosn and in the Encyclopedia Volumes, index of Towns and Villages, 
index of Variant Spellings, List of Abbreviations, Selective 
Bibliography. Hardbound. Very Good. Introduction by Martin Gilbert. 
306 volumes are cataloged. (54275)  $15.00

[ha-Safran]: FS: Jewish Community Histories from Arcadia Press

2010-09-19 Thread Henry Hollander
Many of you are familiar with the sepia toned covers of Arcadia 
Publishings books on local communities. There are now quite a few on 
Jewish communities. Fred Isaac recently published a volume in the 
series, "Jews of Oakland and Berkeley," and feels that these are good 
solid books for Jewish libraries. At his urging I attempted to 
exhibit them at the AJL conference in Seattle. However, a number of 
Snafus with the publisher at the time sunk that plan. In my 
experience, people get very excited about these books. They not only 
identify with the place where they live, but also places where they 
and members of their families have lived, making it worthwhile to 
include communities outside of your local area in your 
collection.  Below is a list of the volumes in the series that I 
currently stock. These are offered at a 20% discount off of the 
retail prices listed below. US Shipping is $2.00 for one book. US 
Shipping is free for orders of two or more titles. Foreign shipping 
is at cost. We ship and bill to libraries and institutions.

Re: [ha-Safran]: "Shop That Speaks Yiddish Needs a Rich Man's Help"

2010-08-30 Thread Henry Hollander
Dear Mr. Hoberman, Rachel and fellow Safranists,

 In the note 
that Mr. Hoberman write and Rachel posted to our list Mr. Hoberman 
posits that he may be venting and I certainly hope that his overall 
thoughts are more moderate. I would like to parse the statements of 
Joseph Berger, the author of the NYT's article, a little differently. 
The question is: how can these two statements be reconciled:

1) The survival of Yiddish in America is an on-the-one-hand, 
on-the-other-hand story. Yiddish, once the language of the Jews of 
Eastern Europe, is undoubtedly moribund, with its last full-throated 
speakers, Holocaust survivors, now well into their 80s and 90s.

and 2) On the other hand, the language is booming among Hasidim, for 
whom it is a lingua franca, mushrooming so prolifically that by some 
estimates the ultra-Orthodox will form a majority of American Jews by 
century's end.

Yiddish, the language of the Jews of Eastern Europe is 
moribund. There are few if any living authors who could write or 
speak in Yiddish that is specific to the geographic particularities 
as specified in a linguistic atlas of European Yiddish. The only 
exceptions to this are those Soviet or Soviet immigrant speakers of 
Yiddish still in the former Soviet Union or in the post-Soviet 
dispersion who are speaking Yiddish (at my synagogue I experience the 
dissonance of accent between former Muscovites and former Odessans). 
These are the author's "full-throated speakers." The production of 
literature from this population is minimal and undistinguished.  Its 
communicative capabilities are contracting. This is a moribund 
language. Kal ve-homer to American Yiddish productivity that derived 
from that tradition.

 The ultra-Orthodox community is the locus of increased 
Yiddish demographic representation. The printed production in the 
ultra community is comprised of translations of Hebrew seforim into 
Yiddish, internal sectarian documents, "kosher" fiction, textbooks 
and weekly and monthly periodicals. While it is a source of new 
Yiddish speakers (I was taken aback the first time I saw a five year 
old speaking fluent Yiddish) the Haredi Yiddish is a different 
Yiddish. It may grow  up to be something important in time. It is 
part of circumscribed tri-lingualism of Yiddish, English and 
(Yeshivish) Hebrew. As a spoken language it is not moribund and as a 
written language it is not entirely moribund. But ultimately it point 
the direction away from Yiddish towards something more like 
Judeo-English (not at all to be confused with Yinglish), a distinct 
separatist linguistic phenomenon resident in the English speaking and 
anglophone Jewish world.

 Berger of the Times, makes a prediction about the haredi 
community that places them as the future majority among American Jews 
and includes Hasidim in the short list of groups that patronize CYCO. 
I am sceptical about Berger's demographics. A lot can happen in 
ninety years. However, my frustration with the Haredi community and 
Yiddish is that they ignore, abhor, or are ignorant of what is in 
already available in Yiddish. The Yiddish literature Hasid is 
generally unaware of the important and diverting (and "Kosher") works 
on Hasidism in Yiddish by Menashe Ungar, Samuel Hirsh Setzer and B. 
Justman. As time passes the haredi version of Yiddish, as it evolves 
new grammar and vocabulary, will make the works of the "older" 
Yiddish authors seem less and less accessible. Berger is not wrong in 
fearing that this community will not support the type of books CYCO 
has. The disappearance of a community oriented around these books 
will be a sad thing. It may be impossible to resist in the long run, 
but the effort is worthwhile. I don't perceive any negative bias in 
Berger's article toward Hasidim and find it unfair to chastise him 
for such. If the challenges that CYCO faces were only the challenges 
that face Yiddish CYCO would have much better prospects. That is a 
subject I could discuss with anyone who is interested and would be 
glad at some other time and in some other place.

I for one am grateful to Mr. Berger for the time and 
effort that he has put in to bringing the current situation at CYCO 
to a larger audience. There is such a thing as bad publicity for 
Yiddish, but Mr. Berger's article is anything but.



All the best,

Henry Hollander

shipping at cost outside the US. We ship and bill to libraries and

THE BOOKS

Idel, Moshe. "Ben: Sonship and Jewish Mysticism." London, Continuum, 
2007. ISBN: 9780826496652. Octavo, glossy paper covers, xii, 725 pp., 
Appendix: "Enoch the Righteous, and Was there a Cult of 
Enoch/Metatron in the Middle Ages?," notes, bibliography, index. 
Softbound. Very Good. "Moshe Idel increasingly is seen as having 
achieved the eminence of Gershom Scholem in the study of Jewish 
mysticism. Ben, his book on the concept of sonship in Kabbalah, is an 
extraordinary work of scholarship and imaginative surmise. If an 
intellectual Judaism is to survive, then Idel becomes essential 
reading, whatever your own spiritual allegiances."­Harold Bloom, 
Sterling Professor of Humanities, Yale University While many aspects 
of sonship have been analyzed in books on Judaism, this book, Moshe 
Idel's magnum opus, constitutes the first attempt to address the 
category of sonship in Jewish mystical literature as a whole. Idel's 
aim is to point out the many instances where Jewish thinkers resorted 
to concepts of sonship and their conceptual backgrounds, and thus to 
show the existence of a wide variety of understandings of hypostatic 
sons in Judaism. Through this survey, not only can the mystical forms 
of sonship in Judaism be better understood, but the concept of 
sonship in religion in general can also be enriched." publishers web 
copy. (52444)  $18.00 Postpaid in the US. More elsewhere.

[ha-Safran]: FS: RUBIES and REBELS - Correction

2010-04-13 Thread Henry Hollander
In my previous post I inverted the title. It begins Rubies and Rebels 
and not as I had it. A tip of the hat for picking this up to Freda Kleinburg.

By any other name, it is still a good book and worth including in 
your library's collection.

[ha-Safran]: FS: Two Recent Jewish Art Titles

2010-03-21 Thread Henry Hollander
Two newer arrivals offered individually as priced below or as a pair 
for $30.00 postpaid with the US. We ship and bill to libraries. 
Otherwise, prepayment is required. Call 415-831-3228 or email to reserve.

Soltes, Ori Z. "Fixing the World: Jewish American Painters in the 
Twentieth Century." Hanover, New Hampshire, Brandies University 
Press, published by University Press of New England, 2003. First 
Edition. ISBN: 12-58465-049-4. Large square quarto in dust jacket, 
color frontispiece (detail from Kitaj's 'The Painter (Cross and 
Chimney)'), x, 163 pp., color plates throughout, a few b/w photos, 
notes, index. Hardbound. Very Good. "Their work reflects profound 
historical and cultural issues, such as what it means to be a Jewish 
artist in the western tradition of Christian art, and what it means, 
as Jews, to be painters of the specifically American experience. Ori 
Soltes focuses primarily on the work of 20th-century Jewish painters 
to explore themes ranging from the trials of immigration, depictions 
of urban life and politics, renderings of the Holocaust, and the 
reconstitution of Judaism in recent years by feminist painters and 
Soviet emigrée artists. The astonishing array of work represented in 
this book sometimes displays overtly Jewish themes and symbols; other 
paintings are included for their importance in the general 
development of 20th-century painting. Balancing individual 
biographies of painters, stylistic analysis, and thematic 
interpretations, Soltes offers a remarkable survey of 20th-century 
American Jewish painting.
Despite the diverse range of images, themes, a common thread among 
most of these paintings is the concept of tikkun olam­of repairing or 
fixing the world. Most of the artists represented here demonstrate an 
interest in the social, as well as the aesthetic, import of their 
work. We see this concern for social betterment in the urban 
paintings of the Soyer brothers, in the "political" paintings of Ben 
Shahn, in the Holocaust-inflected works of numerous artists, and in 
the more contemporary work of Joyce Ellen Weinstein decrying violence 
and racism." from UPNE web copy. The book is especially helpful in 
its treatment of recent Jewish art. (51443)$20.00 postpaid within the US.

  van Voolen, Edward. "My Grandparents, My Parents and I: Jewish Art 
and Culture." Munich Berlin London New York, Prestel, 2006. First 
Edition. ISBN: 978-3-7913-3362-5. Quarto in dust jacket, 192 pp., 
color illustrations throughout, some b/w photos, bibliography. 
Hardbound. Very Good. Another survey of "Jewish Art," that tries to 
compile the work of artists who strongly identitfied with the Jewish 
people with the work of artists who were ambivalent about or even 
stealthy in their concealment of their Jewish identity. The author 
teases out the effects of Jewish experience, If not specifically 
Jewish "content" in their art. Artitsts dealt with include (among 
many others) Ryback, El Lissitzky, Chagal, Man Ray, Soutine, Lesser 
Ury, Frida Kahlo, Jankel Adler, Otto Freundlich Jim Dine, Moshe 
Gershuni, Kitaj, Jonathan Borofsky, Grisha Bruskin, Zelig Segal, 
Christian Boltanski, Anish Kapoor, Lawrnce Weiner, Richard Serra, 
Michal Na'aman, Nancy Spero, Nan Goldin, Ilya Kabakov, Michal Rovner, 
and William Kentridge. (51664)  $25.00 postpaid within the US.

Shandler, Jeffrey. "Adventures in Yiddishland: Postvernacular 
Language & Culture." Berkeley, University of California Press, 2006. 
ISBN: 0-520-24416-8. Octavo in dust jacket, xvi, 263 pp., b/w 
illustrations, notes, index. Hardbound. Very Good. Adventures in 
Yiddishland examines the transformation of Yiddish in the six decades 
since the Holocaust, tracing its shift from the language of daily 
life for millions of Jews to what the author terms a postvernacular 
language of diverse and expanding symbolic value. With a thorough 
command of modern Yiddish culture as well as its centuries-old 
history, Jeffrey Shandler investigates the remarkable diversity of 
contemporary encounters with the language. His study traverses the 
broad spectrum of people who engage with Yiddish­from Hasidim to 
avant-garde performers, Jews as well as non-Jews, fluent speakers as 
well as those who know little or no Yiddish­in communities across the 
Americas, in Europe, Israel, and other outposts of 
"Yiddishland."  from UC web copy. (51387) $9.00 Postpaid within the US

Edition. ISBN: 9780521826303. Octavo in dust jacket, x, 300 pp., a 
few b/w illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. Hardbound. Very 
Good. "Yiddish and the Creation of Soviet Jewish Culture changes our 
perception of Jewish cultural history by giving voice to those 
pioneering activists who created a vibrant Yiddish culture in the 
Soviet Union in the 1920s. Empowered by the Soviet state and the 
Communist Party to create a secular culture for the "new" Soviet Jew, 
these activists sparked a cultural flowering in the official national 
language of Soviet Jews: Yiddish. The writers, artists, and 
intellectuals chronicled here founded Yiddish-language schools, wrote 
for Yiddish newspapers, published scholarly works, and dedicated 
themselves to an unprecedented burst of secular Jewish artistic and 
cultural expression.
   David Shneer explores the role these Jewish activists played 
within both Soviet and Jewish history. These activists deeply engaged 
widespread Jewish cultural trends of the era while simultaneously 
building the Soviet state and spreading its ideology. They were not 
passive objects of Soviet policies toward Jews, but rather they 
actively participated in the creation of these policies. Shneer shows 
how these activists were an integral part of twentieth-century Jewish 
history, and at the same time he addresses some of the painful truths 
about their involvement in the propagation of the Soviet system." CUP

THE BOOKS

Fleischman, Sid. "The Entertainer and the Dybbuk." New York, 
Greenwillow Books, 2008. First Edition. ISBN: 978-0-06-13445-9. 
Duodecimo in dust jacket, 180 pp. Hardbound. Very Good. Sydney Taylor 
Book Award for Older Readers 2008. "One night The Great Freddie, a 
young ventriloquist, is possessed by a dybbuk. A what? A Jewish 
spirit. A scrappy demon who glows as if spray-painted by moonlight. 
The dybbuk is revealed to be the ghost of a twelve-year-old boy named 
Avrom Amos, a victim of the Nazis during World War II. In a plucky 
scheme to seek revenge, he commandeers The Great Freddie's stage act 
and entraps the entertainer in the postwar ashes of Germany. Behind 
the footlights, the dybbuk lights up the terrible fate of a million 
and a half Jewish children, including Avrom himself. What tricks does 
the dybbuk have up his ghostly sleeve? Prepare to be astonished. . . 
. " flap copy. (50993)  $8.50
This was the 2008 Sydney Taylor Book Award winner for older readers. 
When the book came in and I saw that it was not illustrated I was 
very dissappointed, but now that I have read the story I see that it 
is better off as it is.

[ha-Safran]: FS: Jacob Rader Marcus Set at Bargain price.

2009-11-03 Thread Henry Hollander
We are glad to offer the complete four volume set of Jacob Rader 
Marcus' last encyclopedic treatment of American Jewish History. It 
was published by Wayne State University Press rather than The Jewish 
Publication Society as one might have expected. That combined with a 
rather high price ($230.00) may have kept your library from acquiring 
it. I am glad to be able to offer complete sets for $60.00 postpaid 
within the US. $80.00 postpaid to Canada, or $97.00 postpaid 
elsewhere around the globe. Included with this set at no additional 
cost will be a copy of a posthumously published collection of Marcus' 
essays, "The Dynamics of American Jewish History: Jacob Rader 
Marcus's Essays on American Jewry," a Brandeis U. Press. Publication. 
Bibliographic details are below. Call 415-831-3228 or email to 
reserve a set. We ship and bill to libraries. Individuals should prepay.

FS: Shalom Shar'abi and the Kabbalists of Beit El at a good price.

2009-10-29 Thread Henry Hollander
We are glad to be able to offer copies of this recent title at a 
bargain price. In addition to other positive comment, it received a 
positive review in the most recent issue of the AJL quarterly. As an 
Am-Ha-Aretz I find it accessible which is another plus (for some).

Giller, Pinchas. "Shalom Shar'abi and the Kabbalists of Beit El." New 
York, Oxford University Press, 2008. First Edition. Octavo in dust 
jacket, xii, 199 pp., notes, works cited, index. Hardbound. Very 
Good. "The Jerusalem kabbalists of the Beit El Yeshivah are the most 
influential school of kabbalah in modernity. The school is associated 
with the writings and personality of a charismatic eighteenth-century 
Yemenite Rabbi, Shalom Shar'abi, considered by his acolytes to be 
divinely inspired by the prophet Elijah. Shar'abi initiated what is 
still the most active school of mysticism in contemporary Middle 
Eastern Jewry. Today, this meditative tradition is rising in 
popularity not only in Jerusalem, but throughout the Jewish World.

Pinchas Giller examines the characteristic mystical practices of the 
Beit El School. The dominant practice is that of ritual prayer with 
mystical "intentions," or kavvanot . The kavvanot themselves are the 
product of thousands of years of development and incorporate many 
traditions and bodies of lore. Giller examines the archaeology of the 
kavvanot literature, the principle aspect of which is the meditation 
on God's sacred names while reciting prayers, the development of 
particular rituals, and the innovative mystical and devotional 
practices of the Beit El kabbalists." publisher's description (50489)

[ha-Safran]: Librarian Survey - Second Request

2009-08-03 Thread Henry Hollander
Dear Friends,
 At this year's AJL I presented a paper on state 
of the relationship between Jewish Librarians and Jewish Booksellers. 
I prepared a short survey and sent it out to a number of librarians 
back in June. I am rewriting the paper towards a final draft. If any 
of you who did not speak to me earlier would be so kind as to step 
forward now, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Every 
piece of data is helpful.

 I can email the fifteen question survey to you. 
In general I don't think it would take more than 10-15 minutes to 
look through. Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Henry Hollander

Re: [ha-Safran]: Advance uncorrected proof

2009-08-03 Thread Henry Hollander
Dear Steven,
   This is an interesting case, but I have to disagree 
with your idea of what the appropriate disposition of such a book should be.
   Reading through the thin veil as to which book you 
were referring to we can begin with the fact that this book was 
embargoed before publication. As so, it should not have been 
distributed or read without permission prior to the date of 
publication. This is a legal issue. After publication, the book 
becomes a very interesting and valuable book for librarians, 
literary/popular culture scholars and book collectors. Whether or not 
the author would approve of this version of the book being read and 
known is no barrier to interest. To stand on one side or the other of 
the issue is a value judgement I will not make. As there is nothing 
libelous or slanderous in the book as far as I know, any "harm" that 
the author might perceive is having the book seen is something 
authors need to live with. I think it would be a poor idea to destroy 
the book or hide it from public view.

Best Regards,
Henry Hollander

Dear Friends,
 For a paper I have been working on I have 
prepared a short survey (Fifteen questions and a request for general 
feedback). The purpose of my inquiry is to gather information about 
the state of relations between Jewish Libraries and their local new 
Jewish bookselling counterparts. I can email a copy of the 
questionnaire or conduct the survey on the phone. Please reply by 
email with a request for a copy of the form or with your phone number 
and a time that would be convenient for me to reach you. This survey 
should take about 5-15 minutes unless you have additional comments 
that you would want to add. I am interested in hearing from you even 
if you have no local new Jewish bookstore or if there is but you do 
not have any relationship with them (though the survey would be much 
abbreviated). Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Best Regards,
Henry Hollander

[ha-Safran]: For Sale: Adiel by Shlomo DuNour

2009-03-04 Thread Henry Hollander
We offer copies of this title for $6.00 postpaid in the US, $16.00 
postpaid outside the US. Winner of the 1999 JERUSALEM PRIZE FOR LITERATURE

"Adiel" is a re-telling of the Old Testament story of the Bible, from 
the Creation of Adam and Eve through the ten generations that 
culminates with Noah and the Flood. It is told through the 
observations of Adiel, an angel, appointed by God and the Archangel 
Michael, whose responsibility it is to record the events of Man--a 
sort of protective angel of history. Utilizing the ancient forms of 
Midrash, the Jewish term for literary and creative Biblical 
exposition, it is a reflection on the place of man in the universe, 
and on good and evil.The angel Adiel is chosen to witness the 
tragedies of the ten generations of man.

[ha-Safran]: FS: The Jews of Sing Sing by Ron Arons

2008-08-12 Thread Henry Hollander
Ron was by the house last week and asked me to help him with this 
title. I read it over the weekend and can recommend it highly. Ron is 
an active member of Jewish Gen and a hard working geneologist and 
general researcher. This book, described below, is not one of those 
"Jews in Sports," type books. Though readable and straight-forward it 
is a mountain of hard facts, hard because they are solid and hard 
because they are sometimes unpleasant to admit to about our 
community. It is helpful in showing just how much can come of 
geneological research. It is an important original work in the field 
of Jewish studies and in the field of Criminality.

Arons, Ron. "The Jews of Sing Sing: Gotham Ganster and Gonuvim." Fort 
Lee, New Jersey, Barricade Books, 2008. First Edition. ISBN: 
978-1-56980-333-2. Octavo in dust jacket, xx, 350 pp., b/w photos, 
sources by chapter, index. Hardbound. As New. "If you learned that 
one of your ancestors served time at one of America's most infanous 
prisons, would you tel anyone or try to keep the information a 
secret? Ron Arons faced this dilemma a decade ago when he learned 
that his great-grandfather had done a "stretch" in Sing-Sing. Rather 
than suppress this story, he embarked on a journey to learn more 
about why his ancestor had committed crimes that landed him in jail. 
Soon after, Arons decided to expand upon the topic by exploring all 
Jews who served time in the famous prison "up the river" from 
Manhattan. Maybe it should come as no surprise, given the prison's 
proximity to Manhattan, that between 1880 and 1950, there were 
thousands of Jews behind bars at Sing Sing.
The Jews of Sing Sing traces the histories of both famous gangsters 
and lesser-known gonuvim, exploring their childhoods and the lives of 
the people around them, as well [as] the impact they had on their 
descendants. These inmates were complex individuals who, on many 
levels, tried to live normal lives. Many exhibited a sense of humor 
and cunning, using aliases and teking imaginative steps to avoid law 
enforcement officials. The Jews of Sing Sing also reveals forgotten 
details surrounding many of the more well known gangsters, debunking 
many popular myths and showing their interconnectedness over the 
decades." from flap copy.

Re: [ha-Safran]: AJL 2009 in Chicago - transportation

2008-07-08 Thread Henry Hollander
Dear Friends,
I have been going to a convention that is held at 
the Hilton Towers annually for almost twenty years. I have always 
taken the train in from the airport. In fact, the first time I flew 
to Midway airport was the opening day for the Midway line. I rode 
free and got a free Danish to boot. The trip from Midway requires a 
transfer right before the loop and a walk of two or three blocks. 
 From O'Hare I believe that the walk is the same distance. The 
neighborhood is pretty safe. Safer than when I first arrived in it 
all those years ago. Price is under $10.00. If you really like cabs 
you can take one from the train station.

Best,
Henry

[ha-Safran]: Klarfeld books all called for. And more so.

2008-06-17 Thread Henry Hollander
Dear Friends,
 Please, no more requests for free copies. I will 
honor all 8 or 9 requests that I have already received even though 3 
or 4 came in after I sent my first message saying that all the copies 
were called for. My customer was willing to pay for 4 copies only. I 
asked him if he would be be willing to pay for more than 4 copies if 
I had more than 4 requests and he politely declined to do so. I 
offered the book to my customer for $25.00. My regular price is 
$70.00. I would accept orders at the $25.00 price. Overseas shipping 
charges vary between $20-40.00 at cost.

Best Wishes,
Henry Hollander

Re: [ha-Safran] statistics on Jewish book publishing in US

2007-11-06 Thread Henry Hollander
[This post self-edited with fire-extinguisher, but there may be some 
hot spots. Beware]

Between 17-18 of these titles would be unsuitable, unacceptable or 
offensive in any Jewish library. This is not counting Kabbalah center 
productions and some other fairly venal narishkeit. The list is 
updated hourly which means that it in no way indicates which books 
have legs and which are just having a brief or very brief moment in the sun.

All of the data that Amazon presents is the product of data mining. 
Clearly from my comments above, and more that others could 
make,  Amazon's data-mining is not tweaked to serve the informational 
needs of the Jewish library community. It probably could be, but it is not.

I understand the curiosity about the issues of the demographics of 
Book publishing. However, JEWISH book publishing is something that 
Amazon is only marginally associated with. Much of the important work 
in Jewish publishing is being done well below the radar of Amazon, 
Barnes and Noble and the other large players in the book trade. The 
people who do that work operate in an environment where the issue is 
more likely to be how to keep the ball rolling (getting the next 
important book out) rather that how to make an enormous return on 
investment to satisfy the shareholders.

Henry Hollander

Link to images of rare Yiddish illustrated books

2006-10-30 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
More adventures in "things found in the search for other things." The 
Yale libraries have an archive of digital images located at 
http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/  A search under the 
keyword Yiddish brings of links of images, in most cases of the 
entire texts, of a number of beautiful and important Yiddish 
illustrated books. Treat yourself and take a look.
Similarly a search under the keyword Hebrew turns up many other 
interesting images. I have to admit to a bias towards Yiddish

Best Regards,
Henry

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Art Book Catalog

2006-09-29 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
In June, in time for this year's AJL we issued our first print 
catalog in eight years. It lists about two hundred publications from 
the Judah L Magnes Museum, The Spertus Museum, The Jewish Museum (New 
York), The Israel Museum, the Museum of Jewish Heritage and select 
items from a number of other institutions. There are a lot of great 
books listed that I'm sure would get plenty of use by the patrons of 
any Jewish library. If you were not at AJL or did not pick up a copy 
of the catalog there please email me your mailing address and I will 
be glad to send you a copy.

[ha-Safran]: YIVO Publications - Announcing a Healthy New Catalog -

2006-09-29 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
The YIVO Institute describes itself as, "the world's preeminent 
resource center for East European Jewish Studies; Yiddish language, 
literature and folklore; and the American Jewish immigrant 
experience. (see www.yivo.org)"

On the 75th anniversary of the the YIVO Institute we offered a list 
of 75 YIVO publications. Five years later we are proud to offer what 
is certainly one of  the largest selections of YIVO publications ever 
offered at one time and and in one place, Included are the many of 
the most important publications of YIVO in Vilna, New York and Buenos 
Aires as well as a few unusual imprints (from Melbourne, Australia 
and Stuttgart, Germany, etc.) and one possibly unique item.  Items 
are in Yiddish, English, or both. Please take this opportunity to 
fill in the gaps in your holdings. It is unlikely that we will ever 
be able to match this current offering again.

The catalog can be sent electronically as an attachment or in print 
form. Please reply to this email. If you would like a paper copy 
include your mailing address.

[ha-Safran]: Trying to arrange dinner for AJL members at ALA

2006-06-22 Thread Henry Hollander
I am exhibiting at ALA and would like to have dinner with other AJLers. I
talked with Brian Horowitz of the Tulane Jewish studies department and he
is willing to speak about the current situation here for Jewish New
Orleanians. It will be a kosher meal at a restaurant called Casablanca.
The restaurant is not downtown but transportation can be arranged. I can
be reached by phone in New Orleans at 414-407-1498 or you can drop by my
booth in the Small Press area, booth #3728. We have not worked out
anything definite, but Sunday night or Monday would be the possibilities.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Best Regards,
Henry Hollander

[ha-Safran]: FS: New Book on Jews of Galicia

2006-06-08 Thread Henry Hollander
We are pleased to be able to offer for sale for the author the 
following new publication:

Wynne, Suzan. "The Galitzianers: The Jews of Galicia, 1772-1918." 
Kensington, MD, Wheatmark Press for the Author, 2006.  Octavo, paper 
covers, xxiv, 499 pp., map, b/w photos, indexes to selected books and 
collections, guide to pronouncing and recognizing your Polish Town 
and Family names, sample letters to Polish Archives, examples of 
Vital Records, table of Names of Galician Jews in emergency Passport 
Applications 1915-1924, documents about Krakow Jews: 18th and 19th 
Centuries, Galician Towns where Jews lived in 1877, references and 
bibliography. Softbound.

A substantially revised version of "Finding Your Jewish Roots in 
Galicia:A Resource Guide," published by Avotaynu, Inc. in 1998. This 
version provides more information about the geopolitics of the 
region, highlights of key events and the overall context for the way 
Jewish Galitzianers lived their lives. The rest of the book offers 
state-of-the-art strategies and resources for conducting successful 
genealogical research about individual families. Suzan Wynne was one 
of the founders of Gesher Galicia, the IAJGJ Special Interest Group 
focusing on Galician Jewry. (34786)

I expect that this will be a basic book in it's area. Useful in a 
scholarly library although it is a more pragmatic than scholarly 
exercise. Likely to see regular use in a more general Jewish 
library. $35.00 plus $2.00 shipping within the US. Write for 
overseas shipping information.

We ship and bill to libraries and institutions. Individuals can 
prepay by check or charge card. Sorry, we no longer accept S&H 
Greenstamps. Sadly, times change.

All the best,
Henry Hollander

FS: Zap! Bam! Pow! The Superhero 1938-1950. The Golden Age of Comic Books

2006-05-21 Thread Henry Hollander
We are happy to offer this fine catalog (now that we have stopped 
reading it and taken the time to catalog it). It was published by the 
William Bremen Jewish Heritage Museum and really is Judaica though 
the title forgets to make that point.

Robinson, Jerry, Chabon, Michael and Feiffer, Jules, with 
contributions by. "Zap! Bam! Pow! The Superhero 1938-1950. The Golden 
Age of Comic Books." Atlanta, Georgia, The Bremen, The William Bremen 
Jewish Heritage Museum, 2004. ISBN: 0-9761534-0-8. Royal octavo, 
glossy paper covers, 61 pp., reproductions of color and b/w original 
art all reproduced in color. Softbound.

Foreword by Jane D. Leavey. Articles are "The Ultimate Fantasy," by 
Jerry Robinson,  "The Minsk Theory of Krypton," Jules Fieffer, "The 
Boys of Gotham," Jerry Robinson,  and "A Postscript," by Michael Chabon.

The Chabon contribution is in the form of a faux letter describing a 
fan's meeting with Clay and the widow of Cavalier at a comic book convention.

This catalog which accompanies the exhibit by the same name 
(traveling in the summer of 2006 to the California State Fair) 
illustrates many pages of original comic book art from the Golden Age 
of comics. The text does not wear it's Jewish interest on its sleeve. 
However, Jane Leavey in her preface says, "In Jewish tradition, the 
phrase 'tikkun olam' is usually translated as repairing the world and 
encapsulates the role of humanity in society. It was the Super Heroes 
who took on that role from 1938 to 1950... Their exploits reflected 
the political, economic and social issues of the times. In a world 
dealing with economic depression and facing World War II, it was the 
Super Hero, whose alter ego was an ordinary person, who came to the 
rescue, righting the ills of the world and securing 'truth, justice 
and the American Way'!" Many of the drawings included, drawn by young 
New York Jews, show their Super Hero creations taking the fight to 
Goebbels and to Hitler himself, and that brings the point home with a 
punch. (34773)

$25.00 Postpaid within the US. We ship and bill to libraries. 
Individuals can pay by check or charge card as they prefer.

[ha-Safran]: For Sale: Ladino-English Dictionary

2006-05-16 Thread Henry Hollander
We recently bought out the last copies of this helpful reference work:

Kohen, Elli & Kohen-Gordon, Dahlia. "Ladino-English English-Ladino 
Concise Encyclopedic Dictionary (Judeo-Spanish)." New York, 
Hippocrene Books, 2000. ISBN: 0-7818-0658-5. Octavo, glossy paper 
covers, viii, 602 pp., bibliography + ads. Softbound. Very 
Good.  (34470)  $15.00 postpaid within the US.

The Ladino has been transliterated into Roman letters. The inclusion 
of a thirty page appendix, "Ladino Proverbs and Popular Saying," is 
an amusing and helpful addition.

Re: [ha-Safran]: OP Jason Aronson Books, etc.

2005-03-16 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
To elaborate on Dina Tanners helpful remarks:

If you are searching for copies of books formerly published by Jason 
Aronson Rowman and Littlefield has taken over their catalog. You can search 
for Aronson titles by using the search window on their website which is at 
http://www.rowmanlittlefield.com  However, not all of the Aronson titles 
that are available through R & L come up through the search. If the title 
you want does not come up then it is best to call them on the telephone. 
Their contact information for customer service is as follows: Toll free: 
(800) 462-6420, FAX: (800) 338-4550, 
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] .

If the book really is out of print you can then proceed to search the 
metasearch engines for used and out of print books. These are 
http://www.addall.com/used  and http://www.bookfinder.com  Bookfinder will 
also bring up results for many new book sellers. At some point I will 
prepare my opinionated survey and advice on how to locate used and out of 
print books on the internet, but give these sites a try for now and you 
will start to learn it all for yourselves without my idiosyncratic 
observations.

Of course, at any point along the line you could seek out the aid of a new 
and or used Judaica bookseller on or off this list.

[ha-Safran]: FS: New Book on Russian Jewish Suprematist Architect

2005-03-03 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
After a rocky period the Magnes Museum in Berkeley has managed to get its 
house in order. A recent exhibition has yielded the first Art monograph in 
some time. Price is postpaid within the US. Call 415-831-3228 or 
415-407-1498 or email to reserve a copy for yourself or our institution. We 
ship and bill to libraries.

SURVIVING SUPREMATISM

Efimova, Alla. "Surviving Suprematism: Lazar Khidekel." Berkeley, 
California, Judah L. Magnes Museum, 2005. Square small quarto, glossy think 
paper covers with flaps, 92 pp., b/w photos and 34 color plates, 
chronology, key events in the Soviet Union, bibliography, checklist of the 
exhibition, acknowledgments. Softbound. Very Good. Includes and interview 
with Lazar Khidekel's son and daughter-in-law Mark and Regina Khidekel 
conducted by Alla Efimova.

 Khidekel, though practically unknown, was a central figure in the 
Russian art movement, Suprematism. He was at Vitebsk under Marc Chagall, 
but aligned himself with Kasimir Malevich when he came to teach at Vitebsk. 
Khidekel was a member of Unovis and later Inkhuk. As Suprematism split 
Khidekel followed Malevich Chashnik and Suetin. Malevich remained a 
painter. Chashnik and Sutin went toward decorative arts. Only Khidekel 
became an architect. He was able to build a few projects before the Soviet 
system turned away from the avant garde. He managed to continue on as a 
successful architect throughout the Soviet period, but he had to keep to 
his Suprematist ideas in a covert way only. He became an important thinker 
for the entire field of Soviet Architecture and inspired what was best 
within that period and into the post-Soviet era. This catalog accompanies 
an exhibit held at the Magnes Museum in Berkeley between November 15th, 
2004 and March 20, 2005. This exhibition is only the second exhibit ever 
devoted to Khidekel's architectural drawings and fine art. (27992)

I have spent a good amount of time knocking my head against the wall on 
this one.

A customer is referred by the National Yiddish Book Center looking for a 
book possibly entitled in Yiddish "Blut in di Tisza," by Yosef [Josef or 
Jozef] Feldman or Friedman published before the author's death in 1939 
probably in Hungary. Author was a communist which apparently has some 
bearing on the subject matter. Any help figuring out this book description 
and connecting it to a recorded book would be much appreciated.

[ha-Safran]: From Here to Obscurity

2004-10-19 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
Henry Hollander, Bookseller has taken over the retail and wholesale 
distribution for North America of
"From Here to Obscurity: A Novel," by Yoel Sherman. Orders should be sent 
to us directly for the time being.

 From the cover copy: 'From Here to Obscurity' tells the story of the now 
lost Jewish East End of London through the eyes of Shulem, an immigrant 
from Poland, his wife Rivka, and Yulus, their EWnglish born youngest son. 
It takes us through the turbulent years in London from 1933 to 1945, 
through poverty, fascist incursions, evacuation and targeted war-time 
bombings by Hitler's luftwaffe that destroyed the infrastructure of this 
one time thriving East London Yiddish-speaking community, forcing its 
ultimate dispersion. Shulem's relatives are lost in the Holocaust and many 
of Yulu's friends are killed by the last German V-2 rocket to fall on 
London. Despite all this trauma, 'From Here to Obscurity' is an uplifting 
tale of human warmth, humour and solidarity in the midst of overwhelming 
global forces.

Last week's English language Forward focused on Canadian Jewish literature 
in their Arts and Culture section. Allan Nadler's review of "The Journals 
of Yaacov Zipper, 1950-1982: The Struggle for Yiddishkayt" (Translated from 
the Yiddish and edited by Mervin Butovsky and Ode Garfinkle). is quite 
interesting and positive. 
(http://www.forward.com/main/article.php?ref=nadler20040825908). It led me 
to the check my shelves and see what I had by Zipper in stock. I thought to 
post a short list of Zipper's title's, but instead made up a list of 
Canadian and "Canadian" yiddish books. If you would like to receive this 
list please let me know. In addition to Zipper there are books by Melekh 
Ravitch, Chava Rosenfarb and many others. I can send either a print or 
email version of the list of over seventy titles.

[ha-Safran]: FS: Announcing a New Book: Memoirs of a Russian Emigre

2004-05-07 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
I am proud to announce my latest, though modest, publication.

"Istoriya Prozhitich Mnoyu 90 Lyet: Memuari Klari Berman/ The History of My 
Ninety Years: Memoirs of Klara Berman."

This is a short memoir written in Russian by a very elderly member of my 
congregation, Klara Berman. Klara is a Russian Emigre who arrived in San 
Francisco in the late 1980s from Kiev. Klara came from a religious 
household in Kiev. Her father was a rabbi. She continued to practice 
Judaism is the Soviet era. She had a Jewish wedding with Rabbi and Chupah 
in the 1930s when Stalin's show trials were in full gear. During the Second 
World War, in which her husband died in combat, she and her son were 
evacuated to Tbilisi, Georgia. She worked in the Finance Ministry there. 
After the war she returned to Kiev and married her second husband. Her 
subsequent career was frustrated by Anti-Semitic actions directed from 
Moscow. She and her second husband emigrated from the Soviet Union to San 
Francisco in the late 1980s. Her second husband passed away several years 
later. Now, in her nineties, she wrote out this memoir to let her children 
and grand-children know the many things about her life that they didn't know.

Klara is a pretty fierce person. Her Russian is direct and simple. Although 
this is a small terse book it tells a story infrequently seen in print. It 
should be of interest to those curious about the Russian emigre community 
in San Francisco and the US, about the lives of Jewish Women in Soviet 
Russia and about the practice and continuity of Jewish religious practice 
in Soviet Russia.

A limited number of copies of this volume are for sale. The book is a 
quarto with side-stapled thick paper covers, 24 pp., b/w photos. Total 
postpaid price is $12.00 within the US. We ship and bill to libraries. 
Email or call 415-831-3228 to place an order.

[ha-Safran]: Why find it on Amazon? Why not you you LJBS

2004-02-13 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
A number of recent posts have told Safranim to "buy it on Amazon." I ask 
you, please, support your Local Jewish Book Sellers.

Amazon is not a member of your community and gives nothing back to your 
community. Amazon has no institutional memory. Amazon can't get you all the 
books from the Jewish Publishing Houses that don't bother to use ISBNs.

Your Local Jewish Book Seller should be viewed as a partner in your work 
with your synagogue, community or university community. Sometimes it might 
cost a little more to deal with them, but they are likely to be open to 
making arrangements for payment and may be willing to provide discounts if 
they are able (remember that Amazon's discounts are loss leaders meant to 
kill off the competition). Your Local Jewish Book Seller is a combination 
of muscle and brain. Unsupported they atrophy and die.

If you don't have a Local Jewish Book Seller, support one in a nearby 
community. Find one and stick to them. If these are not enough for you try 
some of the on-line Jewish  book sellers. I won't mention one above the 
other. They usually have a brick and mortar set up in the background that 
has a more complete stock than the offerings that appear on-line.

Do I have a bias in this? Yes. I am a used and out of print book dealer. Do 
I have a horse in this race? No. I don't sell new books and I don't compete 
with Amazon in any meaningful way.

If Amazon becomes the crutch that the Jewish community relies on to provide 
for its book needs we will be walking with a limp for a very long time. The 
Orthodox say, "ask your LOR." This traditional book seller advises, "ask 
your LJBS."

Shabbat Shalom,
Henry

PS. As to those Jewish institutions with websites that link to Amazon and 
use Amazon's affiliate programs to make a few pennies on the dollar, for 
shame! Not to mention any names...

[ha-Safran]: Inquiry regarding an Ibn Ezra quote

2003-11-09 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
A customer wants to use this quote from Ibn Ezra "A book is the most 
delightful companion," as an inscription in a library. She is looking for 
the original Hebrew. She found a reference that indicated that the quote 
could be found in Ibn Ezra "Shirat Yisrael (12C), 1924, p. 93. This is an 
edition that was put together by Ben-Zion Halper. If anyone has a copy of 
this volume and can find that quote, it would be very much appreciated. 
Alternately, if there is anyone familiar with the quote and can supply the 
original hebrew from any other source that would do just as well.

If you locate it in a book, you could fax a copy of the page to my 
customer, Susan L. Wood, at 952-992-5180 or to me at 415-831-3226.

Thanks for any help.

We are pleased to offer the latest publication in the Legenda/ Studies in 
Yiddish series (as well as the first three volumes).

Sherman, Joseph. "The Jewish Pope: Myth, Diaspora and Yiddish Literature." 
Oxford, Legenda, European Humanities Research centre, University of Oxford, 
2003. First Edition. ISBN: 1-900755-77-7. Octavo, frontispiece photo, paper 
covers, 201 pp., Appendix: R. Shimen Barbun the Rabbi of Mainz, select 
bibliography, index. Softbound. Very Good. Legenda/ Studies in Yiddish 4. 
(21737)   $55.00

Joseph Sherman, winner of the 2002 MLA prize for Yiddish translation, 
offers a close examination of the recurring treatment of the myth of the 
Jewish Pope in four Yiddish texts produced between 1602 and 1958 (The 
Mayse-Bukh, "R. Shimen Barbun the Rabbi of Mainz," by Ayzik-Meirr-Dik, "Der 
yidisher poypst: historishe dertseylung," by Y.Y. Trunk and "Zeydlus der 
erster," by I.B. Singer.) The myth that one day a Jewish apostate might 
come to rule the world as Pope derives from the ambiguities in the Biblical 
story of Joseph in Egypt.

By was of his examiniation of the literary texts, Sherman investigates the 
way that Christian Europe's hostile attitude towards Jews has shaped modern 
Jewish identity and culture. Additionally, it addresses the influence of 
Yiddish culture on mainstream European culture and on self-perceptions of 
Yiddish-speaking European Jews.

We also carry the first three volumes in this series from Oxford:
1) Estraikh, Gennady and Krutikov, Mikhail, edited by. "Yiddish in the 
Contemporary World: Paper of the first Mendel Friedman International 
Conference on Yiddish." $55.00

3) Estraikh, Gennady and Krutikov, Mikhail, edited by. "Yiddish and the 
Left: Paper of the Third Mendel Friedman International Conference on 
Yiddish."  $55.00

We now have in stock the Yiddish first edition of "Di Kats der Payats," or 
"The Cat and the Hat." This will be the first
Dr. Seuss title ever to appear in Yiddish. The copies that we will have are 
inscribed by the translator, Sholem Berger. When ordering, please indicate 
whether you would prefer the signature in Yiddish (Hebrew) or English, as I 
have both. Price will be
$15.00 plus $1.50 media mail postage. Please call 415-831-3228 or email and 
I will reserve a copy for you.

The Yiddish edition has paper covered boards like the English original and 
will be similar in size. It runs 72 pages, with illustrated
endpapers. The Yiddish text rhymes like the original and has the Yiddish in 
Hebrew characters and transliteration into Roman characters on each page. 
There is a transliteration and alphabet chart in the back. It opens and 
reads right to left. It looks very much like the currently available 
English language edition, but is printed on a better clay paper.

We also have copies of "Vini-der-Pu," by A.A. Milne (also known as Winnie 
the Pooh). It has the original illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. The 
translation (which I like) is by Leonard Woolf. It is a fine/fine 
hardcover. States First Edition, but may actually be the second printing 
(Dutton. States First Edition and has a number line that starts at 2.) 
$9.00 postpaid.

We ship and bill to libraries and institutions.

[ha-Safran]: For Sale: Books by Victor Perera

2003-07-07 Thread Henry Hollander, Bookseller
Victor Perera passed away recently. He was best known for his work "The 
Cross and the Pear Tree: A Sephardic Journey," in which he chronicles his 
family's history since the expulsion from Spain and explores the parameters 
of his Jewish identity. He was an instructor in writing at University of 
California Berkeley and an important figure in the northern California 
Sephardi community. Though "The Cross and the Pear Tree," is probably 
already in nearly every library's collection I thought this might be an 
opportune time to remember Perera and set a few more copies of his books 
out there before the reading public. We ship and bill to libraries, of course.

The BOOKS

1. Perera, Victor. "The Cross and the Pear Tree: A Sephardic Journey." 
London, Andre Deutsch, 1995. First UK edition. Octavo in dust jacket,  xii, 
282 pp., b/w photos, bibliography, index. Hardbound. Very Good. $15.00
2. As above. The American edition. $15.00

3. Perera, Victor. "Of Whales and Men: Patagonian Encounters." Berkeley, 
CA, The Author, ca. 1998. Quarto, plastic spiral binding, paper covers, 125 
single-sided sheets. Softbound. Very Good. This appears to be a version of 
the published text that Perera may have used in his writing classes at UC 
Berkeley.  A recent publication, but very scarce.  $25.00

4. Perera, Victor. Unfinished Conflict: The Guatamalan Tragedy. Berkeley, 
University of California Press, 1993. First Edition.  Octavo in dust 
jacket, xvi, 382 pp., map., b/w photos, epilogue, bibliography, index. 
Hardbound. Very Good. Photographs by Daniel Chauche. Perera's Jewish 
Guatamalan childhood is described in his memoir "Rites: A Guatamalan 
Boyhood." This book, though it seems far from Judaica I think is 
interesting. Here is a Sephardic Jew, born in the America's, telling the 
story of a genocide that happened in his native land. $12.50
