[ha-Safran]: Children's books on the Holocaust

[Herold, Irene]

Keene State College houses the Cohen Center for Holocaust Studies 
http://www.keene.edu/cchs/ , and it is 
located in the library building, although a separate entity.  They 
recently asked me if I knew of other collections of children's books 
focused on the Holocaust.  In a total collection of approximately 
4,500 volumes, there are about 100 volumes that focus on materials 
appropriate for children through grade 6.

Recognizing that this is not a systematic way to gather this 
information, I still would like to hear from you if you have such a 
collection and how many volumes specifically for children you hold.

Thank you,

Irene M.H. Herold

Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner - New Publication

[Yael Levine]

I am pleased to announce the publication (Hebrew) of "Simkhes Toyre 
Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner",  by Yael Levine (32 pp.) [=Simchas Torah 
Song by Rivkah Tiktiner].

Rivkah bat Meir Tiktiner (d. 1605) was the first Jewish woman to 
compose a book, the Yiddish musar work for women "Meineket Rivkah" 
(Rebeka's Nursemaid). This book was published in two editions, the 
first was issued in Prague 1609. Rivkah Tiktiner is buried in the 
ancient Jewish cemetery in Prague, though she arrived there at an 
unknown date from Poland.

Rivkah Tiktiner also composed a Yiddish song, "Simkhes Toyre Lid." 
This song, consisting of eighty lines, is a hymn of praise to The 
Creator. The motif of the future redemption, including the banquet of 
the righteous, figures prominently in the second part of the song. 
The dates of the composition of both "Simkhes Toyre Lid" and 
"Meineket Rivkah" are unknown. Two undated editions of "Simkhes Toyre 
Lid" have reached us, which were most probably published in Prague in 
the seventeenth century.

The Yiddish version of "Simkhes Toyre Lid" was published in a 
critical edition by Chone Shmeruk, first in an article on Rivkah 
Tiktiner which appeared in 1978, and subsequently in an updated 
version in his book "Sifrut Yiddish be-Polin," published by Magnes 
Press in 1981. In "Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner," the Yiddish 
critical edition by Shmeruk is reproduced. This is followed by a 
Hebrew translation, carried out in conjunction with Dr. Boris 
Kotlerman; This is the first Hebrew translation of "Simkhes Toyre 
Lid". References to the motifs appearing in the song are also included.

"Simkhes Toyre Lid" was chanted by women when they decorated the 
Torah scrolls prior to Simhat Torah. (See A. Ya'ari, Toldot Hag 
Simhat Torah, Jerusalem 1964, p. 464). Despite the fact that in 
actuality this song was recited by women, its content is of a general 
nature, and it is therefore suggested that its recitation be renewed, 
and the song be reclaimed in our time by both men and women alike.

The Yiddish text of "Simkhes Toyre Lid" and its Hebrew translation 
appearing in "Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner," are prefaced 
with a scholarly introduction concerning Rivkah Tiktiner and her 
works. The introduction commences with the biographical information 
known about Tiktiner. A Yizkor prayer in her memory is published for 
the first time from the manuscript "Kuntress Beit Knesset Altneushul 
bi-Prague" (Jewish Museum of Prague, ms. 113). This prayer is the 
only known source which makes mention of her husband. His personal 
name appears in the prayer. However, the manuscript is defective in 
this place, and it is not possible to discern it.

The introductory chapter also compiles for the first time the 
evidence concerning learned women in Prague. Most interestingly, on 
several inscriptions in the ancient Jewish cemetery there is 
reference to women who devoted their time to Torah study. One of 
these learned women was Rivkah (d. 1579), aunt of R. Isaiah Horowitz, 
the Shelah. Additional learned women were Feigele Katz, daughter of 
the Maharal, and mother to Hava Bacharach. The latter was uniquely 
learned, and her grandson, R. Ya'ir Hayyim Bacharach, wrote in the 
introduction to his book of responsa "Havot Ya'ir" that he chose this 
title in her honor. (This work contains, inter alia, the first 
responsum concerning women and the recitation of kaddish). R. Ya'ir 
Hayyim Bacharach also related in the preface to this work, in the 
name of his father, that after her husband passed away, the Shelah 
wished to marry her. She, however, chose not to remarry "in honor of 
her husband."

"Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner" is available at the following 
locations in Jerusalem: Lichtenstein bookstore on Straus St. near 
Kikar ha-Shabbat; Judaica Book Centre on 5 Even Israel St., off King 
George St.; Hevruta Book Store on 16 ha-Lamed Hey St. in Old Katamon; 
Nissan Levi Store on 9 Keren ha-Kayyemet St., Jerusalem. The price of 
the booklet is NIS 20.

Mail orders in Israel are accepted directly from myself at NIS20 + 
NIS 5 for postage.  Orders from abroad may be placed in one of 
several ways. Orders may be placed directly from myself. The copies 
will be sent airmail for NIS 20 + NIS 15 postage and handling 
(payable in shekalim). Bulk orders (5 copies and above) are payable 
in dollars (checks only). Orders abroad may be placed with Sifrei 
Yerushalayim payable in foreign currency. Please contact Sifrei 
Yerushalayim for further details: Email:
