[Ha-Safran] Slavic Judaica
--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Zachary Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ha-Safran] Slavic Judaica Below is a list of Slavic and East European booksellers from whom Stanford buys much of its Judaica. It appears as the appendix to my paper, Slavic Judaica Revisited, included in the Toronto convention proceedings and available online on the AJL website. Like other libraries, Stanford also maintains exchanges with libraries in Eastern Europe (especially in the former Soviet republics), and acquires much of its Slavica -- including Judaica -- through those channels. Finally, I would like to draw the attention of Ha-Safran subscribers to a recent issue of the journal Slavic East European Information Resources (SEEIR), published by Haworth. Vol. 4, no. 2-3 (2003), which I guest-edited. The double issue bears the added title Judaica in the Slavic Realm, Slavica in the Judaic Realm: Repositories, Collections, Projects, Publications. It will also be issued as a book. Among the bibliographies and bibliographical essays in that issue of SEEIR I would like to mention the following: Hebrew Incunabula in the Asiatic Museum of St. Petersburg, by S. M. Iakerson; Jewish Book Publishing Today in the Countries of the Former USSR, by Alexander Frenkel; Slavic Judaica in the YIVO Library: Acquisitions from 1991-2001, by Nikolai Borodulin; From Odessa to Odessa: Russian-Jewish Periodicals of Ukraine, by Vladimir Karasik; Bibliographical Projects in Polish-Jewish Studies since 1989, by Stephen D. Corrsin. The other contributions to SEEIR are: The Jewish Archival Survey: Tracing Jewish Records in the Former Soviet Archives, by Marek Web; The Creation of a Documentary Collection on the History of Russian Jewry at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People, by Benyamin Lukin; Microfilming Hebrew Manuscripts in Eastern Europe, by Benjamin Richler; Resources on the Genealogy of Eastern European Jews, by Zachary M.

Re: [Ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor bio info
Folks, To follow up Libby's announcement, I wanted to let you all know that I am working on a book-length biography of Sydney Taylor. While I do not know exactly when it will be published, I can lead you to my first article about her, which was released about two weeks ago in the most recent edition of the children's literature journal _The Lion and the Unicorn_. Many of you might be interested in the entire issue of this volume, as its topic is The Jewish Presence in Children's Literature. The guest editors are Naomi Sokoloff and Suzanne Rahn. Included in the issue are articles about Jewish characters in literature read by children, Sendak, K'onton and Hillel's Happy Holidays, picture books about the Golem, Holocaust films for children, and a piece by Eric Kimmel himself. My article on Taylor is called Becoming an All-of-A-Kind American: Sydney Taylor and Strategies of Assimilation. If you have access to Project Muse through your library, you can read _Lion and the Union_ articles that way, or you can go to this website http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/lion_and_the_unicorn/index.html to order the entire volume of the journal. Some libraries also carry hard copies of the journal. I'm sorry to toot my horn, but I do believe there would be interest in at least some of what I just announced!

[Ha-Safran] Jewish Encyclopedia (1901-1906) online
From the Scout Report, Oct. 17 edition: 11. Jewish Encyclopedia.com http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com Standing as a testament to the wide ranging contributions of the Jewish people to world culture and history, this Web site contains the complete contents of the massive 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, originally published between 1901-1906 by the Funk Wagnall's Company. Conceived and funded by the Kopelman Foundation, this compilation is the only free encyclopedia of Judaica available on the Internet. While the encyclopedia obviously does not include such topics as the creation of the state of Israel or the Holocaust, it is a rather fascinating collection that recalls an interesting period in scholarship, and is a helpful historical document. Visitors can browse by the encyclopedia by letter, along with viewing a transcription of each entry and any accompanying images included with each entry. Those who might be interested in helping compile an updated version of the encyclopedia are also invited to join the mailing list.
