Re: [ha-Safran]: GOOGLE story in the Jerusalem Post
Dr. Weinshank, I agree with you, and thank you for your efforts in making a very strong case in this matter. Have you sent a copy of your statement to Sen. Shumer (sp?) of New York, who has been so agitated about this? I would ask that you please do so. We (that is, those agitating to change the Google listings) are on the wrong path here, as you explain so fully, and only bad things can come of it. It's hard for me to understand how librarians, of all people, don't see what they are doing here. Madeleine Cohen Oakley Melvin J.

[ha-Safran]: Sheldon Oberman, zl
Friends: I don't know if I missed this announcement through HaSafran, but I was just sent an article from the Winnipeg Free Press that notes the passing of Sheldon Oberman, author of Jewish children's books, and winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award in 1994 for The Always Prayer Shawl. The article reads: Tributes began flowing in yesterday followng the death of one of the city's most popular and creative spirits. Sheldon Oberman, best known as an award-winning author of children's books, lost his battle with . . .cancer late Friday night [March 26]. . .He was 54. He published a dozen books, wrote film, TV and radio scripts, directed short films, performed as an actor and even created the questions for a board game. But it was in the traditional art of oral storytelling where Oberman got his start and where his heart always lay. There are people who tell stories and then there are storytellers, said his friend and colleage, Jamie Oliverio. They create stories as they walk through life and breathe. THose people are my teachers and my heroes. Obie was, is, and always will be one of those. Among Oberman's successful children's books are The Always Prayer Shawl, The Wisdom Bird, and the Shaman's Nephew . . May his memory be for a blessing.

[ha-Safran]: Out of Print Titles
Dear Anna, In response to your HaSafran posting: there are so many children s books of Jewish content that are out of print, that I think your request for titles needs an organizing principle. I would suggest using the Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work awards as the first priority and individual STBA winners as the second. For example, Isaac Bashevis Singer won the Body-of-Work award in 1971. His OP titles include: A Day of Pleasure and Other Stories for Children Why Noah Chose the Dove When Shlemiel Went to Warsaw and Other Stories The Golem The Fearsome Inn The Wicked City Mazel and Shlimazel: Or the Milk of the Lioness The Topsy Turvy Emperor of China Alone in the Wild Forest The Fools of Chelm and Their History Joseph and Koza: Or the Sacrifice to the Vistula Naftali, the Storyteller and His Horse, Sus The next Sydney Taylor Body of Work winner was Marilyn Hirsh. Her OP titles include: Where Is Yonkele? The Rabbi and the Twenty Nine Witches Captain Jiri and Rabbi Jacob Deborah the Dybbuk The Tower of Babel I Love Hanukkah Hannibal and His Thirty Seven Elephants I Love Passover Could Anything Be Worse? Potatoes Pancakes All Around The Hanukkah Story K tonton In the Circus Ben Goes Into Business The House On the Roof Joseph Who Loved the Sabbath One Little Goat These long lists of O.P. titles by two of the finest authors of Jewish children s books exemplify the extent of the problem and the difficulties in preparing a randomly generated list of such titles. If you only followed the organizing principle that I suggest (above), the list would still run to hundreds of titles. Linda R. Silver, Librarian Jewish Education Center of Cleveland 2030 S.

[ha-Safran]: Need some help
I am a part-time librarian at a Reform congregation. I meet with the K,1,2, 3rd graders once a month and read them a story and they have the opportunity to take out a book. This past year we changed the program and had a theme for the year. This past year (2003-2004) our theme has been Israel. We are having a mesibah (library party) for these grades as a culminating event. There will be games candy. We are giving each child a pinwheel with Jewish stars on them. We would like to attach a sign that has a catchy phrase such as: Read Jewish books, Jewish books are fun to read. Can anyone suggest a catchy phrase we might use? Next question: Next years theme is Isaac Bashevis Singer. I will be reading his stories to the students and discussing his life. I would like to have the 2nd 3rd grade students work cooperatively to make a bulletin board/mural around his stories. It would be a work in progress. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I might go about doing this? Thank you for your help. Last year when I needed Israeli book ideas, I received a lot of help. Thank you.

[ha-Safran]: JCLLA annual nationwide summer reading club
Friends and Colleagues: Read, be read to, or read to.. Once again the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles lovingly invites all communities in North America and B E Y O N D to have their congregations, classes, families, camps, etc. participate in the annual nationwide summer reading club. The club is specifically designed for the Early Childhood set (beginning 3-4 years old) through 11-12 yr. olds! Read 6 appropriate level Jewish themed books over the summer, send in the list and receive a certificate and prize. If a teacher or librarian reads to a class of 20 kids..it counts for every kid. If a sibling reads to a sibling, it counts for both of the kids. It's a piece of cake to do. All hints, information and the form to complete will be located on the JCLLA web site: WWW.JCLLA.ORG All the best.
