Re: [ha-Safran]: List of NYC Jewish non-profits

[Jmandjs]

The UJA-Federation of New York publishes a Resource Guide but I believe it 
may only include constituent and public use agencies and organizations. The 
American Jewish Year Book has a directory of all Jewish organizations in 
the country by state. Their list does not include synagogues. The 
denominational groups have such lists but non-member synagogues may be 
overlooked. Does the Jewish Yellow Pages still publish? If so that list 
would help. Any other questions on Jewish organizations or synagogues in 
the New York area, ask me.

Dear Colleagues,
 Here is a request from one of our Hebrew teachers.  Please let me 
know if
anyone has it and if we may borrow it if not purchase it.   Thanks,
Marion Stein   Heschel HS  NYC.
Dear Marion,

I teach the story "The Split Cherry Tree" (in Hebrew)  in 9th grade.  A
movie was made based on this story.  I searched for the video but was
unable to find one.  Can you please see if you can locate the movie
(perhaps in a library somewhere...?)

Toda,

[ha-Safran]: Program by Israeli filmmaker Anat Halachmi

[Gail R Shirazi]

HEBREW LANGUAGE TABLE
OFFICE OF WORKFORCE DIVERSITY
2005 National Women's History Month Planning Committee
EMBASSY OF ISRAEL
PRESENT

WHO: Anat Halachmi, Award Winning Israeli Filmmaker

WHAT:  Anat Halachmi will discuss her work and show excerpts from her most 
recent film "Channels of Rage" which won the BEST DOCUMENTARY AWARD at the 
Jerusalem International Film Festival, 2003.

WHEN:  Monday-March 28, 2005 at Noon

WHERE:   Library of Congress, Mary Pickford Theater, Madison Building, 101 
Independence Ave, Washington, DC

Details on the film and Ms. Halachmi are below:

Anat Halachmi is a freelance writer on cultural subjects. She produced and 
researched for the book/television series The Melting Pot Cuisine about 12 
Israeli families from different ethnic origins, documenting their cuisine. 
Last year she wrote, directed and produced the documentary Channels of 
Rage, about the rappers Subliminal and Tamer Nafer, which took the BEST
DOCUMENTARY AWARD at the Jerusalem International Film Festival, 2003.

www.channels.anatfilms.com/info

SYNOPSIS: Channels of rage

Subliminal is described in the local rap scene as the re-inventor of Hebrew 
language. He presents himself as the first proud Zionist rapper. Similarly, 
Tamer (TN) an Arab rapper from Lod who became a cultural icon for Israeli 
Arab youth, is no less proud of his Palestinian identity. Just like Siamese 
twins, Subliminal and Tamer are the two inseparable parts of the same
unsolved conflict, which defines our lives.

A patriotic Zionist rapper and a nationalist Arab rapper use the power of 
words and music to state as loud as they can what politicians in Israel 
cant seem to put into words.

Will the increasing national gap prevent the two from being able to 
communicate with each other through their international language of music?

Channels of Rage was shot over 3 years, following both Subliminal and 
Tamer, alone, and together. This is a journey documenting the 
parallel-meeting-evading, back and forth story of two poets of wrath in a 
violent and hopeless time.

Israel 2003,  71 min  , Producer , Director, Script: Anat Halachmi, Editor: 
Lavi Ben Gal,  Photographer: Daniel Miran+ Anat Halachmi. Hebrew & Arabic 
with Eng. subtitels,

Israeli critics (several samples) :

"one of the movies that will shake you emotionally, a film that strengthen 
Israel's position as a documentary empire" ( Yossi Shoval, Maariv)

Excellent movie, with deep layers, and also an excellent sound-track, with 
lots of music and laughs of the rare type (Gal Ohovsky, Maariv)

Anat Halahmi draws a tragic portrait of two rappers. An apocalyptic 
frightening, and threatening vision that is coming upon all of us
.(Yehuda Stav, 
Yediot Ahronot)

The Excellent movie by Anat Halachmi& shows an original angle of the 
Jewish-arab 
relations.(Maariv)

Shalom,
We have the pleasure to offer you, free of charge, the new PDF format of our
  catalogue "Recent Books From Israel"
No. 411, March 2005(Adar B' 5765).
You may forward it to those likely to be interested and inspired by it.

You will find 495 titles in two files, one of the Hebrew titles (33 pages), 
and one of the non-Hebrew titles (English, French, German, Russian, Arabic, 
Yiddish, Spanish etc., 6 pages). You will be able to see the Hebrew text, 
in Hebrew fonts, on any computer, and you may also print the entire 
catalogue or parts of it, according to your domains of interest. We suggest

As you probably see in the last few days, there is a lot of discussion and 
opinions around the Enc. Judaica CD-ROM on HaSafran network.

The bottom line is that the Enc. Judaica works fine, even now after 8 years 
since it was released, on all computers and all operating systems.

There is ONE exactly ONE serious problem with our product for which the 
solution that we have is not so great. Here is the soluition and our fix:

Runtime ERROR 2004 – out of memory:
Explanation: occurs when RAM exceeds 512MB under WIN-XP
Solution:
·   The following simple solution will set-up the computer to eliminate 
the ERROR, thereafter WindowsXP will edit the system.ini for you.

·   Click START, then RUN and type: MSCONFIG - enter
·   Select BOOT.INI
·   Select ADVANCED, set MAXMEM to 512 or less.
·   After Re-boot the computer will only access up to 512 MB of the 
physical RAM. This setting will allow you to use the EJ CD. However, since 
the RAM limit will apply to all uses we suggest that you make this 
adjustment only when you want to use the EJ CD. After use you should repeat 
the procedure BUT erase the figure under MAXMEM – then Re-boot. Your full 
RAM will thus be restored.

However it seems from this discussion that one of our clients has found a 
registry fix even for this problem. I am trying to find out how it should 
be implemented and if I will succeed to get it from them there might be a 
perfect solution even for this problem and I will let you and others know 
about it.

Best regards,
Moshe

I was away on vacation and there were so many emails I missed this
important one.  I had many occasions while serving as music librarian at
JTSA to consult with Marsha about music matters.  When I visited Gratz,
she spent a great deal of time explaining their collection to me and
showing me some of the materials that I had asked to see prior to my
visit.  I will miss her no nonsense approach to librarianship and her
generosity of spirit.  May her family be comforted among the mourners of

Dear Jeff,
You should get in touch with Dr. Edmond Y. Lipsitz in Toronto (J.E.S.L.

quality directories:

   Ontario Jewish Resource Directory (2nd ed., 2001)
   Canadian Jewish Directory (1st ed., 2003)
   World Jewish Directory (4th ed., 2004)

The J.S.E.L. Web site is 

Also, there are a no. of commercial Jewish directories for Toronto that
have been published over the past 10-12 years, based on advertisements.
In addition to the ads  they do list many Jewish resources including
synagogues. Three relatively recent ones (I don't know if they're still
being published) are:

   Metro Toronto's Jewish Resource Guide (? ed., undated but 1997-98):

Re: [ha-Safran]: ********** for ALA Council

[Bernard Katz]

I must say that I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion on this
important topic. I agree with Ted Koppel's implication that the use of
this list for ALA electioneering is inappropriate, regardless of any
individual's qualifications. I'm not a member of ALA, but I'm sure that
each official candidate for their Council is given the opportunity to
have a bio-blurb about them presented to the voing members of ALA. That's
done in CLA and OLA, to which I belong *and* to AJL! So why would we want
to clutter up our listserv with these things?

Edith Lubetski said: "I think it is a service to us to be informed of
ALA candidates who would be, at the very least, sympathetic to our
interests as AJL members. In fact, when there is an ALA election, I
would appreciate hearing from our members which candidates would
support our issues. I do not know any of the candidates personally or
professionally so that any input is helpful."

Where should this stop? Should we include comments about various people
running for public office of all kinds that would impact libraries, or
only Jewish libraries? Should we allow actual full blown lobbying? What
about having comments about people who do *not* "support our issues"?
Besides all that, what in fact ARE "our issues" and on which ones have
we registered consensus so we know which way we as a group are prepared
to allow candidates who support them to have their names touted to us?

I think this should be stopped here and now before it gets out of hand!

[ha-Safran]: New Guide

[Yossi Galron]

--- Message requiring your approval 
--
From: "Judith Rosenbaum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: [ha-Safran]: New Guide
The Jewish Women’s Archive proudly presents In Our Own Voices: A Guide to 
Conducting Life History Interviews with American Jewish Women.

In Our Own Voices is a new step-by-step guide for general audiences 
interested in learning how to conduct interviews with the important Jewish 
women in their own lives.  With a detailed how-to manual for every step of 
the interview process, the guide is formulated around ten overarching 
frameworks for understanding women’s life experiences.  In each section, 
readers will find an introductory essay by a leading scholar, a series of 
key topics, exemplary stories from JWA’s oral history archives, and 
hundreds of sample questions intended to help them conduct sensitive and 
probing interviews about the experiences of American Jewish women.

In Our Own Voices is designed to help individuals or community groups 
capture and preserve the stories of their mothers and grandmothers, 
teachers and colleagues, community members and friends.

For more details, or to order, go 
to:http://www.jwa.org/discover/oralhistory/guide.html 
or call (617) 383-6754. (Bulk order discounts available.)

What people are saying:
"In Our Own Voices is a remarkable tool in the service of a history that 
has gone mostly unrecorded. There is no time to mourn for the triumphs and 
losses, jokes and wisdom that have been lost. So hurry. Open this book and 
get to work. Let us not waste another moment."
-- Anita Diamant, author of The Red Tent

"If ever there was a document that spoke to the truth that every human 
being, male and female, is created in the image of God, this is it.  The 
sample questionnaires, the jewel-like essays by learned scholars, the 
delicious vignettes, the evocative Joan Roth photos, the practical tips for 
interviewing – each piece of In Our Own Voices joyously celebrates the 
depth and variety of women’s lives. More than all our exhortations to fill 
in the white spaces, this guide will yield results. It will spawn a 
thousand new stories of women’s lives. I must go and interview my mother 
right away!"
