[ha-Safran]: Raquel, the Jewess of Toledo
Monica > but I remember it was red...".The novel in question has some Jewish content > (possibly Biblical) and tells a story of a girl and a prince. Yes. I think it's "Raquel, the Jewess of Toledo" by Lion Feuchtwanger. Originally published as "Die Judin von Toledo", 1954. There are various editions with from 339-589 pages which I suppose depends on how teeny you can make the print without it's disappearing altogether. Yet another rendition of the megila of Esther but set in Spain. I tried to read it in the spanish edition as "La judia de Toledo" and I hated it. I used to use it to put me to sleep. I was so bored that I gave it away to someone I absolutely could not stand. They really really wanted it. How perfect, thought I. A thoroughly boring book for a thoroughly boring person; I'll be happy that it's out of the house and they'll be happy that it's in theirs. What more could a body ask for? And we both ended up very happy with the end result of the transaction. If any of you can come up with something wonderful to say about this book I am all ears and wiggling whiskers. Happy New Year 2005 Happy Chinese New Year (lord know what number) Happy Tu b'Shvat (founder's day for La Javura; I love Tu b'Shvat) It's nice to have many new years; always another chance to get everything back on track.

English Title : A student's obligation : advice from the rebbe of the Warsaw ghetto / Kalonymus Kalman Shapira ; translated by Micha Odenheimer. Published : Northvale, N.J. : J. Aronson, c1991. I hope this helps. I wish I could be in Toronto to learn this material with you and your teacher!

[ha-Safran]: Nehama Leibowitz request
My name is Ellie and I am a brand new librarian this semester (I'm only a week old in librarian years)in Atlanta, GA. I am trying to order a book that a faculty member needs and I'm having trouble finding it. Please offer advice about how to obtain an ISBN or location for it. Here are the details... - it is part of the series Nehama Leibowitz's New Studies in _- - we own the series but have lost Part I of New Studies in Shemot - Eichler's told me that this book doesn't have an ISBN number - can I order it individually without ordering a whole new set? Thanks and I look forward to working with all of you!
