[ha-Safran] Don Quixote

[Jacqueline benefraim]

Not only are there copies of Don Quixote in Hebrew (but I read it in
English), but there is a song by Danny Sanderson about Don Quixote.

[ha-Safran] Notice to Advertisers on HaSafran

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

We really appreciate all of the support AJL has received from publishers and 
booksellers in the past. However, due to the needs of our organization and in 
conformance with current practice in most Listserves, we ask that advertisers 
pay for posting ads on Hasfran, which will only be posted on Tuesdays. 

Effective August 15, 2013, rates are:
$360 per year for weekly ads; $36 for monthly ads (once a week) and $10 for one 
time.

Please be advised that an effective method of advertising your product would be 
placing a color ad in AJL Reviews. This type of advertisement enables you to 
have a hot link directly to your product and website. For further information 
and rates, please contact Jackie Benefraim at ajladmana...@gmail.com.

We will still be accepting book release announcements from our members that 
consist of one title with one or two sentences about the book or movie. We will 
send out billing to those who post items with more content.

Thank you again for your continued support of the Association of Jewish 
Libraries.

All the best,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Irish Jewish Film

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom Movie Lovers,

We had a patron ask for titles of movies about the Jews in Ireland. for
their Purim/St. Patrick's Day Mash Up. Besides *Shalom Ireland* and *Grandpa
Speak to Me In Russian*, there is a movie I saw once, that I believe was in
 Irish Gaelic, but could have been in another foreign language, that
depicted life for Jews in Ireland 100 years ago and
the discrimination they suffered. I believe it was a fictional drama.

If anyone has any suggestions, it will be like finding a four-leafed clover.

Shabbat Shalom,

Jackei

If you're not celebrating Shushan Purim, you can screen  Irish Jewish films
to show your green.

Thank you to all of you who shared the following films:

*Shalom Ireland*
*Ulysses*
*Grandpa Speak to Me In Russian*
*So You Think You've Got Troubles (a BBC series from 1991)*

Thank you to all who sent your suggestions, I was really looking for *Solomon
and Gaenor, * but that is set in Wales.

Go ahead, bake 4-sided hamantashen in rainbow colors and enjoy the day!

[ha-Safran] Library Database Program Question

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

*I am forwarding this question from a potential new member. Please respond
to her directly, as she is not yet a member of the listserve.*

I am the volunteer librarian for our synagogue's library, and I have a
question for members of the list regarding a library database program.

For the past 10 years or so, our library has used a program called
ReaderWare to catalog our books and keep track of book circulation. The
program resides on the hard drive of the computer, so if the hard drive
fails, the data is very difficult to recover, unless there is an external
back-up. Unfortunately, the hard drive of the library computer failed at
the beginning of this month, and we are in the process of trying to find
out whether we can recover the data. If we can recover the data, then
we'll be in fairly good shape, but if we can't, then we will have to
input all of the information again (we do have hard copies of the
accession records plus the old card catalog), since there is no external
back-up.

I would now like to use LibraryThing (www.librarything.com) for our
library database program. LibraryThing keeps the data on all of the
libraries/book collections from its users on its own servers, in the
"cloud" (not on the library's own hard drive). Using this program will
enable all members of the congregation to see what's in the library via
the Internet--something that can't be done with ReaderWare.

I would very much appreciate knowing from those who use LibraryThing for
their congregational libraries either as the librarian or as a congregant
how it works for you and what suggestions you might have for its use in a
synagogue library. I have already looked on the Association of Jewish
Libraries' website for reviews of LibraryThing, so right now I'm looking
for additional user reports that can help me.

Thank you!

[ha-Safran] Top Four Holocaust Titles

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom le-Kulam,

I hope that before you pack for conference you can take a minute to send me
your 4 top choices of nonfiction Holocaust titles, multi-volume sets count
as 1 title, for a Texas public library system. A non-Jewish  friend from
library schools days thought that AJL would be be the most appropriate
group to ask!

I'll send him the top 4 titles at the end of the week.

See you in Vegas!

Jackie

Shalom AJLers,

Now that conference is concluded, I'm back checking emails and found this
upcoming exhibit in Dublin starting in July.

http://www.tcd.ie/Library/about/exhibitions.php#Hebrew

Anyone who might be in Ireland should visit this exhibit and let the
librarians know that you learned about it from the Association of Jewish
Libraries. Then report back on HaSafran or our Facebook page to let the
rest of us know what you saw.

Travel safe,

Jackie

Jewry, but about how to make an interesting presentation.

May you go from strength to strength,

[ha-Safran] Survivor's Talmud

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

I wanted to know if any of you have information about the artist who
created the Survivor's Talmud's title page. I believe the artist's name is
G. Rosenkrantz  ג. ראזענקראנץ

You can see a copy of the title page, which is the same for each volume
with the exception of the tractate name, at the link below

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/loc/Remnant.html

Thank you in advance for your help.

[ha-Safran] Iraqi Jewish Archive in California

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

The Nixon Library is a bit far from the main Jewish centers of Los Angeles,
but if you're out on the West Coast, you should make plans to see this
beautifully curated exhibit of items from the Iraqi Jewish Archives. . You
can even see a life-size picture of our own Dina Herbert working on the
collection.

http://www.nixonlibrary.gov/themuseum/exhibits/2015/DiscoveryRecovery.php

Please share this listing with anyone you know in Southern California. We
want the National Archives to see that we appreciate their part in
conserving our heritage. I was able to preview the exhibit while attending
a preservation workshop and it was well worth the drive.

Wishing you all a sweet and healthy New Year,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Is Marrano Offensive

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

When I saw this discussion hit HaSafran, I forwarded the discussion to my
cousin, Andrew Gottlieb, Ph.D.,Curator, Hollander Collection
www.hollanderjudaica.com
Below is his response:

*"I believe that language should be used to communicate effectively, and I
can tell you, at least anecdotally, that "Marrano" is understand
immediately and used regularly among the Jews of South Florida and within
Jewish communities of the Latin American countries where I have completed
reasearch. *

*"Crypto-Jew" is NOT the same as "Marrano" and I will sit shiva for any Jew
who makes up a ridiculous term to replace it, such as "EID, Exiled
Inquisition Jew." I know that the term means "pig," but "Yankee" was no
moniker of which to be proud either, until the colonists embraced it.*

*Meantime, my personal short answer to your question is that most Hispnic
Jews remain unoffended; the term is immediately understood, and I don't
believe that the term warrants a linguistic war, a la the "n" word."*

I hope this brings some clarification to this issue.

[ha-Safran] Termites

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

I saw this post about termites, so I emailed the woman who taught a webinar
on pest management in museum spaces. Below is her response:

Dear Jackie,

My first response in reading the query to the list is that the synagogue
should investigate replacing their pest control company! I will state
directly that I am not a pest control professional but having worked with
museums and library collections on IPM issues I can confirm that throwing
out an entire collection is not a reasonable response.  There are two
issues here: the treatment of an infested building and the treatment of the
library collections.  While the issues are clearly related, the responses
are not the same.  I will not offer solutions to how to deal with the
infested building as that is a difficult problem best left to an
experienced pest control company with a specialty in termite infestations.
The books can be saved although it will take some effort and funding to do
so properly.  It is important to also recognize that the books can be
treated but until the systemic building-wide infestation is dealt with,
returning the books to the library will leave them vulnerable to
reinfestation.

There is no detail provided in the query as to whether there is a
documented infestation in the books themselves or whether it was just
assumed.  The information on the www.museumpests.net site, while primarily
aimed at museums is also relevant to library and archive collections and so
some of the information there will be relevant in this case.  Some relevant
links are:

   - The site's solutions page with an introduction to the various types of
   treatments that are safe for library collections -
   http://museumpests.net/solutions/
   - Our monitoring page http://museumpests.net/monitoring-introduction/ has
   a link to a tips sheet on selecting a pest management professional. This
   might help you find a company which is more experienced in dealing with
   this issue.
   - They are welcome to join the free PestList listserv and post a query
   there as well  http://museumpests.net/join-the-pestlist/

The library collection can be boxed and then wrapped in polyethylene
plastic wrap with all seams tightly taped down.  This will protect the
books if they are not infested and prevent spread if some of them are.
Ideally they should be flipped through while boxing to determine if there
are signs of grazing, frass (excrement) or other activity.  With the books
boxed it buys some time to consider treatment options.  Freezing would be
safe for book and paper collections as well as parchment (if that happens
to also be in the library collection).  Information on that process is
available on the website and given the number of hurricanes and issues in
Florida I would assume that there is a document recovery company somewhere
that should be able to handle freezing of the boxes.  Renting a freezer
truck to run a treatment would also be an option if done before warmer
weather sets in.  Heat treatment of this material is also an option and it
is a shorter treatment.  Pest Control companies that deal with bed bug
infestations are often equipped to provide this type of option.  A low
oxygen method using CO2 or Nitrogen would also be safe but takes longer and
it may be harder to find a pest control company that provides this service.


An entrenched infestation is difficult problem but harder at the building
level.  The books can be saved and I hope that the community will be able
to find the hands to help with the boxing and moving and the funds to
provide for a proper treatment but that certainly seems more manageable
that rebuilding an entire collection.

[ha-Safran] Conservation and Preservation Learning Opportunities

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I wanted to share with you all the weath of information about collection
care available from the American Institute for Conservation which has
graciously invited AJL membership to share in their wealth of knowledge in
the fields of preservation and conservation.

First of all, check out the free webinars at
http://www.conservation-us.org/education/education/connecting-to-collections-care-webinars#.VtX-WvkrJMw
Although many of the webinars do not pertain to books, I found their
webinar on pest management invaluable. I have reduced the number of insects
in the rare book room by 90%!

There is the AIC Wiki (http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Main_Page)
which highlights among many topics information on Preventive Care,
Exhibition Standards & Guidelines, Environmental Guidelines, and
Mountmaking.

STASH - Storage Techniques for Art, Science, and History Collections (
http://stashc.com/) has come about from expanding the publication *Storage
of Natural History Collections: Ideas and Practical Solutions. *It was
recognized throughout the community that bringing this information on line
and expanding upon the content could serve a greater collection care
community. The third Stash Flash session will be held during this year's
Montreal meeting.

There is also a framework and template available for Collection Care
Information Exchange Discussions (
http://www.conservation-us.org/publications-resources/collection-care).
Practitioners in the field often know that the solution is probably out
there and reaching out to colleagues can help solve a myriad of problems.
The framework provides a checklist to bring about fruitful exchanges and
communicate the results across institutions.

On the horizon there are projects we are developing now that surely the AJL
can help to shape and participate in. One example is the collection care
title and competencies project. We are polling the collection care
community to find out what titles and job descriptions are in use. Many
titles are in use, using relatively the same words in them, but they don't
share the same role.

Another project is the Lexicon, a collaborative wiki (
http://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Lexicon) that is geared to the
general public. The aim is to "produce an illustrated glossary of terms
related to condition and conservation processes."

AIC also has an annual meeting in Montreal. The program underscores the
importance and value of collaboration with their allied professionals like
those of us in AJL.he full line up can be found at (
http://www.conservation-us.org/annual-meeting/allied-professionals-track).

Don't let your collections deteriorate on your shelves, learn what you can
do to protect your library.

Kol tuv,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 19 is out!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Racheli,

Now that I finally have a break between preparing for Conference, and the
conference itself, I took the time to open up Judaica Librarianship and
enjoy these great articles.

Did you ever send a copy of the article

The Younes And Soraya Nazarian Library, University of Haifa: Israel's
Northern Star

to Mr. and Mrs. Nazarian? I worked with Soraya last year on an exhibit in
my rare book room. I think she would be happy to see a copy of the article
(and maybe some money might be raised if she finds out about AJL). How
would I go about forwarding her a copy of the article?

Hag Same'ah,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Giving Tuesday

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJLers,

As many of you know, November 29th has been dubbed "Giving Tuesday" where
everyone is asked to donate to their favorite charity. I am not asking for
your personal donation (although we'd be glad to accept it), but rather
that you spread the following message to friends and family through your
favorite method of contact. I will also be posting this on AJL's Facebook
page, so you can simply share that post or feel free to write anything
you'd like, followed by the donate link.

I hope you all will join me in asking for donations.

All the best,

Jackie

In a world where fake news passes for truth on Facebook, we need an
organization whose mission is to provide reliable resources are made
available in all formats and at all levels to anyone who seeks to study and
understand the Jewish experience. The Association of Jewish Libraries is an
international professional organization that fosters access to information
and research in all forms of media relating to all things Jewish. The
Association promotes Jewish literacy and scholarship and provides a
community for peer support and professional development.

Shalom,

Here's another job listing that might work well for one of our members. You

food on Christmas? CSUN's holdings has a large collection of items about the 
Jewish community in China, especially those who fled there during WWII.

Hope we are reaching out to those MLIS members who work in archives,

Subject: 2017 Inquiry Fellowship
To: jbenefr...@aju.edu



Dear Friends and Colleagues,

As we now enter another year of fellowship cycles, *we wish to thank each
and every **one of you for your continuous support, and for taking an
active part in our growing community.*

We recently launched a call for applications for the 2017 Inquiry
Fellowship, which can be found (and submitted) *in our website
.*

In this program, fellows are invited to join monthly sessions, to be held
over six months, during which they will be able to share ideas, interact
with colleagues, and meet Jewish thinkers and scholars. Inquiry is designed
to encourage exploration and learning of Jewish ideas, while developing the
meeting points between creative practice and the broader cultural context
in which artists work.

*Please spread the word* and share the link with your communities. We look
forward to expand this conversation and invite more creative minds to take
part. The deadline is January 11, 2017.


In Gratitude,

[ha-Safran] Threats to Jewish Institutions

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

I gave a presentation on emergency preparedness at the 2013 AJL Conference.
Although most of my presentation had to do with care of books after a fire
or natural disaster, here are the notes for the page about active shooters:

And, in case of a shooting OR terrorist incident...

If you hear, “Lockdown” over the intercom or an administrator announces the
Lockdown in person, please immediately adhere to the following procedures:

1.Campus administrators will announce lockdown procedures by campus
intercom system.

2.Direct all students, staff, and visitors into a classroom or office
space.

3.Lock doors, cover windows, or lower blinds.

4.Block all doors with desk/shelf or anything that can create some
barricade between the door and intruder.

5.Move individuals away from windows, doors; Turn off lights and
computer monitors. Keep everyone quiet as possible.

6.Turn *OFF *all cell phones in the room, a light on your screen could
give you away.

7.Remain in sheltered area until “All Clear” signal is given by law
enforcement or administrators.

8.Note and report anyone missing to the Site Commander.
9.   During a local or regional emergency that extends beyond your
institution, cell phone lines might be limited to emergency personnel only,
but you should be able to text people.

10. Read through the entire instructions from Homeland Security

https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/active_shooter_pocket_card_508.pdf

Be sure to have a plan in place. I've cleared out a place to hide for our
patrons, have you?

Please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VcSwejU2D0

Hope that all of these threats turn out to be false,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Need Helpers in the Conference Exhibit Hall

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJL Conference Attendees,

I need some people to help out in the exhibit hall during the conference.
You don't have to live in the Greater NYC area, just email me and let me
know if you can help with the setup on Monday morning between 9 am and 11
am or on Wednesday to pack up the unsold books (which hopefully will be
few) between 11:15 and 12 am. Who knows? You may walk away with some
goodies as a reward for your good deed.

I would also appreciate volunteers to occasionally check in with the
exhibitors to see if they need someone to cover their table while they
attend a session. Some of our exhibitors are also presenters.

Happy Yom Yerushalayim,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Free Database of the late Rabbi Schulweis' Writings

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

 Shalom to my Fellow Safranim,

I wanted to share with you the new FREE database of the writing and
recordings of the late Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis. He was a leading rabbi
here in Southern California for many years and his influence spread far
beyond our sunny shores.

I received the following information:

On April 14, 2017, in commemoration of what would have been the 92nd
birthday of Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis (z"l), who inspired so many lives
during his forty-two years as Senior Rabbi at Valley Beth Shalom, the *Harold
M. Schulweis Institute* proudly launched a *newly redesigned website at
www.hmsi.info
*.
The site provides new graphics and easy-to-navigate pages featuring:

   - The world's largest collection of Rabbi Schulweis' works
   - New content including sermons, poems, audio and video files, published
   articles, and text transcriptions of audio recordings
   - An advanced search engine using subject words within published
   material

In order to fulfill its mission to share Rabbi Schulweis' humanitarian and
moral vision for Jewish life and learning, the Institute will continue to
bring new content to the archive, including the recent discoveries of over
100 audio recordings and previously unreleased and unpublished works
authored by the Rabbi.


Looking forward to seeing you in New York,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] In Commemoration of D-Day: a new blog from the Hebraic Section

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Ann,

I took a moment to look at your post and I noticed that you included
the *Babylonian
Talmud * printed for the survivors of the Holocaust (often called the
*Survivor's
Talmud).*

I hold our complete set in the Lowy-Winkler Family Rare Book Center and
often work it into displays I create. I have been curious to find out
information about the artist who created the moving title page. Do you have
any information about "G. Rozenkrants?"

I look forward to any light you have to shed let on this unsung artist.

All the best,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] AJL Conference 2017: NYC Tips and Tricks

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Dear Safranim,

You want books? We have a host of vendors right at the conference ready to sell 
you titles in various formats to fill all of your library and personal needs. 
Last but not least we have a craft table so you can buy gifts for your friends 
and family in case books are too heavy to shlep home. 

Shabbat Shalom,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Purim Birkat

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

My next exhibit at the Lowy-Winkler Family Rare Book Center is about the
Birkat ha-Mazon. I wanted to display several different versions of the
Grace of Meals, such as Sephardic, Ashkenazic, egalitarian, for  a
weddings, etc. I heard that there are some funny versions that were created
for Purim. I'm sure they're not published in any formal kind of work, but
if anyone has a single sheet mimeograph or a more modern desktop publishing
version, please contact me off list.

I look forward to seeing you all in Boston next year,

Jackie

Dear Heidi,

Sharon read my mind! I just picked your podcast as one of my three favorite
on a survey. I hope that the Book of Life continues in your new life in
Massachusetts.

You know you'll need to buy some warmer garments, but at least you'll be
leaving the hurricanes behind.

Kol tuv,

[ha-Safran] Librarians Affected by Hurricanes

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

I truly hope my greeting finds you at peace, safe and sound from natural
disasters.

However, if your library was flooded, you might want to review my
presentation "Hurricanes, Earthquakes and Floods, Oh My!" given at the 2013
AJL Conference in Houston,

http://databases.jewishlibraries.org/node/49213

I also saw this today on the curator's listserv I monitor as a liason
between the American Institute for Conservation and AJL.

https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1686939294244406785

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Stay dry,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Help AJL Affiliate

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom AJL Members,

At AJL's last conference in New York, the board voted to approve an
official path to affiliation with other library associations, as well
as with other Jewish organizations . Not only do we want to promote
the sharing of information between organizations, but we want to
emphasis the importance of libraries to other Jewish organizations and
that AJL exists.

The main requirement would be to convey information of interest, such
as upcoming conferences and webinars, to the affiliate, as well as
forwarding similar information from the affiliate to our membership.
In addition, AJL usually pays the affiliation fee of the other
organization and you won't have to pay for a membership.

If you are already a member of any of the organizations below, or
would like to act as AJL's liaison to one of these organizations,
please contact me at:
ajladmana...@gmail.com and I will send you the affiliation form.

AJS Association for Jewish Studies

ARJE (the Association of Reform Jewish Educators – of the URJ).

[ha-Safran] Responding to Hurricane Harvey

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Good Morning,

I missed the announcement for this webinar while getting ready for Sukkot,
but if you scroll down the page linked below to Sept. 28th or October 5th,
you'll see the link to recordings of webinars on how to care for
collections damaged by the recent round of hurricanes. I haven't watched
them myself, as my library is safe and dry for now, but I thought I'd share
it with my colleagues who have been affected by this terrible storm season.
I hope this information is helpful.

Re: [ha-Safran] Judaica Librarianship 20 (2017)!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Kudos to Racheli and her editorial board for another jam packed
edition of *Judaica
Librarianship. *There are so many articles to read while curling up on
these cold winter nights (it does get cold in LA at night).

Kudos are also due to Zachary Baker, Pearl Berger and Dov Walfish for their
contributions to librarianship, bibliographic work and Judaic scholarship.

Re: [ha-Safran] historic Arthur Szyk haggadah -- AVAILABLE!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

We also had an exhibit about the hidden messages in the Szyk Haggadah in
the Lowy-Winkler Rare Book Center at AJU. Mr. Ungar gave a in depth look at
the works of Arthur Szyk as part of that exhibit. There is so much more to
this haggadah than pretty pictures. Those who are interested should get a
copy of *Justice Illuminated : the art of Arthur Szyk  *printed by the
Arthur Szyk Society in 1999 or watch the 2008 DVD  *In Every Generation :
remaking the Szyk Haggadah.*

 I already have a copy in my collection, and highly recommend this if
 you DON’T have one – the illustrations and calligraphy are stunning; it
 makes a beautiful display at Pesach.



 I offer this item FREE; I would appreciate reimbursement for shipping

[ha-Safran] Children's Writing Contest

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

Moment Magazine is holding a writing contest for children and asked me to
post the following information to HaSafran.

This is a great opportunity for children to engage and for families to
connect Jewishly. We believe that the children and families that visit your
libraries will benefit from participating in this contest.

Below is the contest URL and I have attached a graphic if that is easier
for you. We have bookmarks if that is helpful for the libraries.

https://www.momentmag.com/moments-2018-publish-a-kid-contest/


Looking forward to seeing many of you in Boston!

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Free Emergency Training Webinar

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

*Shalom!*

*If you missed my emergency training presentation at AJL's conference in
Houston, you can attend a FREE webinar at Connecting to Collections, a part
of IMLS, on their website. I've pasted their invitation below.*

Please excuse cross postings.


Have you had an emergency that involved your collection? Were your
colleagues trained and ready to respond? After it was over, did you look at
your response? If so, how did you record what you learned? What changes did
you make to improve your emergency response in the future? This webinar
will help you to make sure your Emergency Plan is a living document by
focusing on learning opportunities both before and after emergencies:
training and after-action reviews. We will provide ideas for training all
staff who work with heritage collections and we’ll discuss how to debrief
after actual emergencies to learn from them in the most effective way.
Staying in “learning mode” most of the time enables your emergency team to
respond competently and creatively when an emergency occurs.



Check out our webinar on June 13th, 2:00-3:30 EDT

*Live and Learn: Collections Emergency Lessons and Training* https://www.
connectingtocollections.org/live-and-learn/



It's Free!

*Hope you never need to use this information,*

title or reputable website I can recommend?

Thank you and hope to see you in Los Angeles for AJL 2019!

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom!

The editors of the Jewish Review of Books have selected 10 previously-published 
articles that follow the arc of the fall holidays, from Rosh Hashanah and Yom 
Kippur to Sukkot and Simchat Torah, and created a High Holiday Companion ebook. 
We hope that you will enjoy the articles, print them out to take to the 
synagogue, and share them with your communities. Best wishes for a sweet new 
year! 

You can read these articles at the following link created for AJL at:

[ha-Safran] 2018 Conference Program Book

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Shalom,

Does anyone have an extra copy of the program book from Boston? I sent all
the copies I had to our advertisers and I don't have any left for my files.
Even though I have a digital copy, it helps to see exactly how things
turned out in the final printed version.

If you have an extra copy, please send it to my work address below and I'll
reimburse you for the cost of the postage.

Thank you so much,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] The Little-known Language Spoken by Jews in the Medieval Arab World

[Jacqueline Benefraim]

Hi Heidi,

I was not able to open the entire article while traveling in Israel. However I 
wanted to let you know that my Baghdadi in-laws spoke Judeo-Arabic at home and 
a friend who escaped Iraq at age 5 had his mouth stuffed with pita when 
crossing the border so as not to reveal that they were Jews. 

When I was at Columbia in the 1970s there a a Judeo-Arabic textbook or 
dictionary in the stacks. I wonder if it’s still there. 

Hag Same’ah,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Wanted: Zoom Wrangler

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Howdy AJLers,

Since the start of the pandemic, AJL has galloped ahead with online
programming. While I was able to corral all of the recordings when these
events were few and far between, I need to pass my hat as AJL Zoom Wrangler
off to someone else. I won't be riding off into the sunset so I'll be
around to lend you a hand.

You can read a complete description of the position and submit your name
for consideration via this brief form

.

Mighty grateful for your help,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] Announcing the Donna and Richard Harris Jewish Libraries, Archives, and Collections Around the World Portal

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

I would like to give a standing ovation to Jerry Krautman for his vision to 
create a portal for the member libraries of the  leading authority on Judaica 
librarianship. 

I’d like to also express my deepest gratitude to Donna and Richard Harris for 
their willingness to support this vision. 

As we remember our journey to freedom in Eretz Israel, this is a perfect time 
to virtually journey to a Judaica library. 

Happy Passover,

Jackie

Hi Devora,

I’ll send you a more complete answer later, but for now isolate the putty with 
wax paper between the affected pages and the rest of the book. Is it Silly 
Putty?

 Shalom Safranim,
 
  With enthusiasm (and also with a touch of trepidation), I have 
 decided to phase out our physical card catalog.  The information is all 
 computerized, with regular on-site and off-site backups, etc.  The lovely 
 wooden card catalog drawer units are now taking up space that might better 
 be used for more book shelves.  We are incorporating a couple of new 
 collections of books and the shelving units would be put to good use.
   We have three units of 5 x 5 drawers, two of them have pull-out 
 shelves between the second and third row of drawers. The drawer units sit 
 on wooden tables to lift them up off the floor.  I can send pictures, if 
 that would be helpful.
 
   I want to offer them for sale.  But I don’t know what would be a 
 good price for them? Someone suggested that a furniture salvage company 
 might take them. But as I said, I would prefer to be able to sell them, if 
 I can, rather than donate them.
 
   I am not suggesting that any of the Safranim would want to buy 
 them. But, am I correct in my hope that someone or someplace would be 
 interested in buying them? What have other folks done with their drawer 
 units?  What price do you think I might expect to get for them?
 
   I thank you in advance for your help.
 
  Shanah tovah u’metuka!

[ha-Safran] NYPL Dorot Jewish Division Mentioned in Atlas Obscura

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

In case you missed it two weeks ago as you were too busy cooking your own
holiday meals, AJL's own Amanda Seigel gets a shout out in this article
about Dorot's Jewish cookbook collection. This is the perfect time to
mention that cookbook author Michael Twitty will be in conversation with
her at AJL's Online Gala on October 23. His book is more memoir than

Re: [ha-Safran] Sad News

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Hello Elliott,

I am shocked and saddened. By Arielle’s passing. She was a pleasure to work 
with. She edited some of AJL’s YouTube recordings. She wanted to do more for 
AJL, but her health didn’t allow it. 

Barukh Dayan Emet, 

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] end of life

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Hi Rebecca,

I used *The Healing Hand*
by
Cantor Sue Deutsch when my father was dying. It has practical advice and is
small enough to carry around the hospital.

Hope you find it helpful,

Re: [ha-Safran] Book repair services

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Hi Rachel,

My shul includes repairing our Etz Hayim as part of our mitzvah day. I
think my team of 15-20 volunteers made minor repairs to about 100
chumashim.in about 2 hours.

Have you thought of making this a project for the b'nai mitzvah students?
They have to do some sort of charity work at my synagogue.

Shabbat Shalom,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] 1794 Copy of Josephus Donation

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Shalom,

A local patron wishes to donate a 1794 copy of The genuine works of Josephus

to
a Jewish library (not a Judaica collection within a non-Jewish
institution). The only cost would be the shipping expense.

If you're interested in this English version, please reach out to Ely
emal...@sbcglobal.net

Kol tuv,

Jackie

[ha-Safran] Read AJL Emails & Make Money

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]


Shalom,

Did you know that by opening your official AJL emails helps AJL make money?

Publishers and other potential AJL advertisers now ask for our "click
rates." This means that every click you make counts, whether it is  on our
website or you open an AJL email, or log in to read *AJL News and Reviews. *The
more clicks, the more cash to help our organization stay financially fit.
Advertisers spend money on websites that get a lot of traffic.

I'm not suggesting you need to read through everything AJL sends out as
many of our posts may not pertain to your library, but you'll learn about
different kinds of programs and materials available to our members you
didn't realize were available to you.

I'm grateful that you opened my post to HaSafran even though opening
HaSafran emails doesn't boost our click rates.

Thank you for supporting AJL, the leading authority on Judaica
Librarianship,

Jackie

Re: [ha-Safran] Shoham's Bangle on The Book of Life Podcast

[Jacqueline Benefraim via Hasafran]

Hi Heidi,

This was a great episode which brought back lots of memories of my Baghdadi
mother-in-law who always wore her bangles. She too had stories about the
Farhud and her bangles.

I'm excited to hear that Sarah is writing a YA version of the story.

Hag Purim Same'ah,

Dear Racheli,

Mazal tov on this marvelous achievement. Even though you had numerous
dedicated AJLers to help you with the task, it was your vision that made
this treasure trove accessible to all.

May you go from strength to strength,
