[ha-Safran]: Omission in Convention Information in Newsletter

2004-03-18 Thread Liza Stabler
Dear colleagues,

It has come to my attention that the General Information
page of the registration form has somehow been omitted from
the Convention packet in the recently mailed newsletter.

I hope it will be included in the next newsletter but that
will be a little late.  Meanwhile, the information is
available on the Convention page of the AJL web site.

We will discuss what should be done to make certain those
who are not on Hasafran have that information.

Best wishes,

Liza Stabler

Kineret's Secrets Mini Series for Children

2004-03-18 Thread noa roll
Hello,

My name is Noa Roll and I work in Tapuz  Shiba Communications in Israel.

I would like to interest you in our TV series for children entitled 
Kineret's Secrets.



The series is about a nine year old girl named Kineret, who hasn't said a 
word since she witnessed her father's death in a horrible car accident 
several years ago. Kineret decides to unravel the mystery of her father's 
accident and to discover more about his past.

The series creates tension and suspense, and was filmed in Israel's most 
exotic locations. (Please see the synopsis attached to this message).



The series has received The Golden Gate Jury Award in San Francisco in 
2000, and also received very favorable critics in the Input Festival in 
Barcelona 2000.



I believe that the series greatly appeals to a young audience, and would be 
an asset in any library.



I would be happy to send preview cassettes of the mini series and give more 
details regarding the series itself.



Please contact Ms. Noa Roll at Shiba  Tapuz Communications at the address 
listed below.



Sincerely,











Noa Roll

Re: [ha-Safran]: Request for book

2004-03-18 Thread Laurie Margolies
Two novels come to mind:

Two Suns in the Sky, by Miriam Bat-Ami (Front Street, 1999)
and
Good Night, Maman by Norma Fox Mazer (Harcourt Brace, 1999)

Hope this helps!

Re: re [ha-Safran]: Sephardim

Check:
http://www.geocities.com/sefarad1492

Also the Sephardic House in NYC has an excellent resource of information in 
the internet.

Another place to contact is Yeshiva University. Their program on Sephardic 
studies is one of the best.

[ha-Safran]: cataloguing small seforim collection

2004-03-18 Thread Shulamis Landesman
My husband and I will be taking on the project of cataloging a private 
seforim collection, probably no more than 2000 books. Is there a simple 
classification system we can use? We also might need software to input the 
book records and possibly set up some kind of lending system (the former 
being the priority). Please email ideas to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you.

Greetings!

 The Norfolk Public Library will soon be moving into temporary
quarters
while our new building is being constructed! We have a 100 drawer card
catalog to give away. It measures 40 h x 71 w  is 38 deep. It was
purchased in 1985, so it's relatively new  it's in excellent condition,

see attached picture. It has been used for the past decade to hold up
our
OPACs and the time has come to part company.

It is free to the first person to respond. You must make arrangements to
remove it from the library between April 20 and May 3rd. I can be
reached at
508-528-3380 x. 3 or via e-mail to answer any questions you might have.

Norfolk Public Library

[ha-Safran]: Video on Rescued Czech Torahs

2004-03-18 Thread Enid Sperber
I received the following request through my Cantor.  I would be interested 
in obtaining a copy of this video myself, if one is to be had anywhere. Our 
congregation happens to own one of those Czech Torahs.
Anybody have any ideas?

Chevre:

/ In the 1970s a documentary was made by Jewish Theological Seminary of 
America (NYC), and sold as videotapes.  It was titled The Odyssey of the 
Torah Scrolls.  It was about all the Czech Torahs arriving at Westminister 
Synagogue, the history before they were sent to ?xml:namespace prefix = 
st1 ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags /London, then what 
occurred while they were at Westminister Synagogue.
Copies of the documentary were sold in the 1970s as videocassettes.My 
congregants called JTS who told them that they have one remaining copy of 
this videotape and that it is in too poor of a condition to lend out.We 
were wondering if any of your congregational libraries might have a copy of 
this hard to find videotape.  I would appreciate it if you could look into 
this for us.  You can e-mail me privately at:
