[ha-Safran]: Re: contact info. and current status of "Israel Bulletin"

2004-09-22 Thread Rivka Schiller
Dear Safranim and Safraniyot,

I am trying to find out the current status of a publication that comes out
of England called, "Israel Bulletin."  If anyone has an email contact, I
would greatly appreciate it if you would please pass along that information
to me, as I am trying to contact the publisher and currently only have a
snail mail address.

Also, would anyone happen to know what the current status of this
publication is?  Specifically, is this still being published--and if
so--what is the latest volume/issue number?

Thank you, as always!

Subject: [ha-Safran]: Dewey and Holocaust books
Would like to talk to day school librarians who use Dewey…940.53 is too 
broad for all Holocaust materials…what are some of you doing with this 
section?  Also, are you dropping the “,Jewish” in your subject headings and 
using “Holocaust, 1939-1945?  What about personal narratives…are you using 
940.5318 or Biography or what?

[ha-Safran]: Israel HighWay Launch: September 9th

To: High School Principals

Dear Chaverim,

 All of us are concerned that our students' knowledge of modern
Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict is not what it should be. As a
member of the Advisory Board of the Israel HighWay, a new electronic
publication on Israel for high school students, I am pleased to notify
you of its launch this Thursday (please see below). Please take a look
at this new "e-zine."  A lot of effort has gone into it, and we hope you
will like it. Please bring it to the attention of the students in your
schools and have them subscribe (free!) to it.

 Kol tuv,

 Jerry

Israel HighWay Launch Date:

Thursday, September 9th

The Conference of Presidents will be launching its new email
publication, the Israel HighWay, on Thursday, September 9, 2004. The
Israel HighWay is a weekly email publication that will reach out to
high-school-age youth with an engaging, informative and exciting format.

Following the success of the Daily Alert (www.dailyalert.org ) and
Israel Campus Beat (www.israelcampusbeat.org ), we recognized a need for
a publication for students at the high school level.  Students, even
those in Jewish day schools, were found not to know the history or
contemporary situation in Israel.  It is often too late to wait until
they get to campus to educate them.  As a result, consultations were
held with a wide variety of educators, various teen groups, individual
schools and students.  All agreed that this is a vital undertaking for a
much-neglected yet important sector of our community. In addition, the
discussion with the Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA) led to a
request that the publication be continued during the summer months so it
could be used by day and overnight camps.  The Israel HighWay is
sponsored by a grant from the Avi Chai Foundation.

Our goal is to educate students and to prepare them for the challenges
they will likely face on campus. Some of the features of the Israel
HighWay include an in-depth examination of an issue in each edition, a
project of the month, interactive components, articles by American and
Israeli students describing activities in their schools relevant to
Israel as well as their experiences on Israel programs, and sections on
Jewish or Israeli sports, music, arts and technology. We want to impress
upon Israel HighWay readers the importance of Israel on many levels, and
to instill in them a love for Israel and pride in its accomplishments
over the years. In addition to exploring the context of today's
important issues, we will highlight Israel's many and diverse
contributions to society.

Based on the feedback of our Advisory Board and Student Advisory
Committee we have gone through several drafts and designs, making
adjustments and improvements with each issue.  A current sample issue is
located at www.conferenceofpresidents.org/highway.html .

In conjunction with the Israel HighWay, we will establish a website
together with the Israel Advocacy High School Coalition which will serve
as a repository of all resources, including materials, publications and
programmatic information for high school students, information on Israel
programs, as well as sample curricula that teachers can adapt for their
use. An important feature will be a discussion guide related to the
Israel HighWay that can be used by teachers or parents to engage
students in meaningful discussion.

The Israel HighWay will be launched on Thursday, September 9, 2004. It
will be sent out via email on Thursday mornings so that schools and
organizations can forward it to their membership either by email or fax
over the course of the day. When a holiday begins on a Wednesday or
Thursday, we will send out the Israel HighWay on Tuesday mornings.

We are now preparing our initial email distribution list. To ensure that
your membership receives the Israel HighWay, please send all email
addresses to us immediately. Either send us the individual addresses of
your members, or send us one designated recipient who will then forward
the Israel HighWay to your internal lists. Once launched, the Israel
HighWay will have a subscription management page so that individuals can
subscribe directly or update their email information.

Please submit all email addresses to receive the Israel HighWay to Malky

questions, pleas

To the One of Fictive Music

Sister and mother and diviner love,
And of the sisterhood of the living dead
Most near, most clear, and of the clearest bloom,
And of the fragrant mothers the most dear
And queen, and of diviner love the day
And flame and summer and sweet fire, no thread
Of cloudy silver sprinkles in your gown
Its venom of renown, and on your head
No crown is simpler than the simple hair.

Now, of the music summoned by the birth
That separates us from the wind and sea,
Yet leaves us in them, until earth becomes,
By being so much of the things we are,
Gross effigy and simulacrum, none
Gives motion to perfection more serene
Than yours, out of our own imperfections wrought,
Most rare, or ever of more kindred air
In the laborious weaving that you wear.

For so retentive of themselves are men
That music is intensest which proclaims
The near, the clear, and vaunts the clearest bloom,
And of all the vigils musing the obscure,
That apprehends the most which sees and names,
As in your name, an image that is sure,
Among the arrant spices of the sun,
O bough and bush and scented vine, in whom
We give ourselves our likest issuance.

Yet not too like, yet not so like to be
Too near, too clear, saving a little to endow
Our feigning with the strange unlike, whence springs
The difference that heavenly pity brings.
For this, musician, in your girdle fixed
Bear other perfumes. On your pale head wear
A band entwining, set with fatal stones.
Unreal, give back to us what once you gave:
The imagination that we spurned and crave.


Hope this helps,

[ha-Safran]: New curriculum from Jewish Women's Archive

2004-09-22 Thread Judith Rosenbaum
The Jewish Women's Archive proudly presents Making Our Wilderness Bloom, a 
new curriculum developed in honor of the 350th anniversary of Jewish life 
in America.

Making Our Wilderness Bloom is a creative and flexible curriculum that 
engages middle- and high-school students in American Jewish history through 
the lens of Jewish women's contributions to the American Jewish community 
and to American society more broadly. The curriculum consists of a 
comprehensive Teacher's Guide and more than 200 pages of student resources, 
including rich primary sources such as photographs, newspaper articles, and 
letters, as well as topical Jewish value lessons, and biographies and 
historical background on the featured women. This is a resource every 
library should have.

In honor of the 350th anniversary, this year we are offering the Making Our 
Wilderness Bloom curriculum at the subsidized price of $55, including 
shipping and handling.
