[ha-Safran]: Shabtai Teveth's book "Burning Ground"

[gail goldberg]

I would appreciate some help out there.  Does anybody know if and under 
what circumstance (speech, etc.) Ben Gurion used the phrase "burning 
ground" or "the ground is burning"?  A patron would like to know the basis 
for Shabtai Teveth's to name his book on Ben Gurion "The Burning Ground."

Thanks.

[ha-Safran]: Reading a legal citation

[gail goldberg]

Does anybody know how to read an Israeli legal citation?

We were wondering if from this citation we could find out when the 
judgement was rendered.

It is as follows:

Apeal/5727/96. The National Religious Party in Rehovot vs. the Federation 
of Agudat Israel in Rehovot and the Federation of Poalei Agudat Israel in 
Rehovot, P.D.R. 6, p. 173, p.176. at the bottom of the page.

Thanks.

information about my novel, THE PIGSKIN RABBI, on your hasafran website.

THE PIGKSIN RABBI is a comic novel about a young drop-out rabbi who becomes 
quarterback of the New York Giants.

Library Journal praised the book as "funny, touching and raunchy, 
recommended for public libraries." The San Francisco Chronicle called it "a 
vastly entertaining fable."

The novel was published by Breakaway Books, but orders should be directed 
to the author at 248 Lasky Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212. Discounted 
library price: $20 hdbnd; $12 ppbk (incl. postage & handling)

With thanks,

Willard Manus

[ha-Safran]: Printing the Talmud

[Aliza Klieman]

The exhibition Printing the Talmud: From Bomberg to Schottenstein is on 
display at the Yeshiva University Museum, through August 28, 2005. This 
exhibition offers a fascinating exploration into the world of Talmud study, 
illustrating how technological advances -- the invention of the printing 
press over 500 years ago and the impact of the computer in recent decades 
-- have transformed the ancient discipline of Talmud study into an 
accessible pursuit available to all.

The exhibition provides the visitor with a once in a lifetime opportunity 
to view outstanding examples of early Talmud manuscripts, such as an 
exceptionally rare Spanish 13th century copy of Avodah Zarah (a tractate 
that was frequently destroyed by Church censors), and rare examples of 
early printed volumes, including one of the very few extant complete sets 
of the famed 16th century Bomberg Talmud, the publication that established 
the layout of the Talmud page for future generations. Also on display is a 
rare copy of the Holocaust Survivors' Talmud, published in 1948 in 
Heidelberg Germany with the help of the U.S. Army.

Exhibited alongside these rare manuscripts is a floor mosaic from the 
ancient synagogue at Rehov in Israel's Bet Shean Valley. Dating back to the 
6th century this unique mosaic is the oldest preserved copy of a Rabbinic 
text, and the only example to survive from the time the Talmud was compiled 
and redacted.  Property of the Israeli Antiquities Authority and 
permanently on exhibit at the Israel Museum Jerusalem this is the first 
appearance of the mosaic outside of Israel.

A detailed academic catalogue, edited by Gabriel M. Goldstein and Sharon 
Liberman Mintz, has been published in conjunction with this exhibition. 
Featuring essays by leading scholars from universities and yeshivot in 
America and Israel, it provides a complete cultural history of the Talmud, 
from its ancient origins through the World Wide Web.  Catalogue prices are: 
softcover: $49.95/ hardcover: $74.95. US shipping and handling: softcover 
$6 ($2 per add'l copy) / hardcover: $8 ($3 per add'l copy). International 
shipments will be billed at cost.  To order please call 212-294-8330 or 
fill and mail-in  the attached form.

The Yeshiva University Museum is located at the Center for Jewish History, 
15 West 16th Street, New York. Museum hours are: Sunday, Tuesday, 
Wednesday, Thursday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Monday from 11:00am to 
7:00pm. Friday from 11am to 3:00pm.  The Museum is closed Saturday. Free 
admission (through September 15, 2005).

I appreciate your help on this matter.
