Re: [Hasafran]: Thank you Rachel Kamin

[Barbara Karp]

I'd also like to extend a yasher koach to Rachel Kamin for her important 
article.  It, sadly, reminds me of a World Book Encyclopedia entry for 
"Jerusalem" which omitted some key facts (but which did, to its credit, 
describe the deterioration in the Old City under Arab control prior to 1967 
and the improvements made by Israel).

[Andrea Rapp]

As I reported a while back to the group, I wrote a
column for our temple newsletter about the very
problem Rachel addresses in her letter to SLJ. It has
been expanded into a longer article which will
apparently be published in the next Reform Judaism
magazine.

[ha-Safran]: 38 websites about Lag Ba'Omer

[Jacob Richman]

Hi Everyone!

The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is on Friday, May 27, 2005.
If you are flying over Israel Thursday night (26th) and you
look down out of your plane, you will see thousands of bonfires
dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see. There
are various customs and explanations for these celebrations.

I posted on my website 38 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer".
All 38 links have been reviewed / checked this week.

The web address is:

http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdayla.htm

Enjoy the bonfires!
Jacob

[ha-Safran]: Thank you Rachel Kamin

[Reister, Maureen]

I want to thank Rachel Kamin for the thoughtful, well-researched article 
which she wrote for School Library Journal (SLJ May 2005, "Middle East 
Muddle?: A reader challenges some Rosen titles" pg. 13).  It is difficult 
to be on your toes about every title you consider for purchase, and it is 
easy to rely on reviews by SLJ, Booklist, Kirkus, etc.   Many librarians 
(and teachers) are unassuming about inconsistencies (or sloppy research) in 
books that are published by reputable houses.  I try to be careful, but I 
was looking for books specifically on the Yom Kippur War and didn't look 
further than the SLJ review and the reputation of Rosen Publishing when I 
purchased Aaron Rosenberg's Yom Kippur War for my own library.   Rachel's 
article is a valuable reminder for all and I am so happy that SLJ published 
it for all to see!

P.S. There were many times I found multiple favorable reviews for a title, 
then read a review by an AJL member in the AJL Newsletter that made me look 
twice.

With gratitude for and pride in AJL and member librarians,

Maureen
