[ha-Safran]: Anti-Soviet newspapers: Anti-Semitic Materials
--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Willemijn Lindhout [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ha-Safran]: Anti-Soviet newspapers: Anti-Semitic Materials Anti-Soviet newspapers: Anti-Semitic Materials Anti-Bolshevik newspapers that can shed new light on Russia's civil war period (1918-1922) are now available for research. In many of these editions, the Russian national idea increasingly assumed the character of anti-Semitism. In 1917 the Russian Empire contained the largest Jewish population in the world. The Russian government perceived them as the Jewish Problem, which needed to be solved by enforced assimilation or by expulsion. Many anti-Semitic materials can be found in newspapers published in the south of Russia and in Ukraine. This is the region where the famous Pale of Settlement with numerous Jewish shtetsl (mestechko) was located, and where 90% of all Russian Jews were forced to live. In this collection there is much information about the numerous pogroms - massacres committed against the Jewish population inspired by Tsarist's regimes and later by anti-Bolsheviks governments during the Civil War (e.g. Kievskaia zhizn). Anti-Bolsheviks editions emphasize the Jewish roots of many Bolsheviks leaders. Before the revolution, many representatives of the Jewish nationality, oppressed by the imperial government, had taken part in revolutionary parties and circles. Attacking the Bolshevism, newspapers reported that trotsky bronstein had captivated Russia (e.g. Vechernie ogni).

[ha-Safran]: Deborah Pessin
Several persons recalled the Aleph Bet Story Book by Deborah Pessin. I wonder if anyone remembers Deborah Pessin. She was my teacher at the CJI (Central Jewish Institute), an after school and Sunday morning independent Talmud Torah in Manhattan. The building at that time in the early 1940s was rented out to the Ramaz School (the 85th St. building), next to Congregation Kehilat Jeshurun. The principal was Mr. Karni (not sure of spelling).

[ha-Safran]: Israel Book Suggestions Follow-Up
I received several requests to share my responses to my request for ideas for Israel books to buy with a small donation. I was quite impressed to hear from Linda Silver herself, since I got some great ideas from and enjoy the Jewish Valuesfinder. Here are the responses: IMHO, the best fiction about Israel for upper elem. kids is Samir and Yonatan by Carmi. They also like Running On Eggs by Levine. A new book set in Haifa in the 1970's called Dog of Knots by Kaplan is also very good, an AJL notable for 2004. A 2004 JPS publication called Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls gives readers a glimpse at a modern Israeli family plus information about the Dead Sea Scrolls. Some older books like Lydia, Queen of Palestine and Becoming Gershona were written by Israelis but they may not be in print any longer. Adele Geras' Grandmother's Stories, newly illustrated by Anita Lobel, frames Jewish folktales within a Jerusalem setting. For grades 3 and 4, Sylvia Rouss' book, Tali's Jerusalem Scrapbook, is good along with De Costa's Snow in Jerusalem. Two new novels involving service in the Israeli army are for high school age and adults; I don't know of any for the grade level you're looking for. Besides editing the Valuesfinder, I'm a practicing librarian and my perspective always includes readability - books that really reach children. Linda R. Silver, Librarian Jewish Education Center of Cleveland 2030 S. Taylor Rd. Cleveland Hts., OH 44118 216-371-8288, ext. 128 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linda added the following in a second e-mail: There are no vendors on whom you can rely. Vendors sell books; they aren't concerned with quality, accuracy, or lack of bias. The only way to select books, on any topic but especially on Israel, is by using reliable reviews. In the case of Israel, reliable Judaic reviews. I also heard from two publishers: Kar-Ben publishes several good Israel-oriented titles for young readers. Here is the link to our Israel collection: http://www.karben.com/kar-ben/israel.html Please let me know if we can help in any way.

[ha-Safran]: A Reader for a Non-Jew
Double check with your Rabbi if this is advisable in the first place. From what I have heard, it is not always advisable in every situation to teach Non-Jews about Judaism, unless they have the intention of converting. This may not be the case with you and it may be okay to give them what you are asking for, however, it would not hurt and might even be helpful to mention this idea to your Rabbi. It is also possible that your Rabbi may have the exact resource that you are looking for.
