[ha-Safran]: Need periodical article
One of my teachers is looking for an article written by Yehuda Etzion in a periodical called Nekudah. The article might have been written in 1994 and dealt with the period after Oslo. If any of you have this periodical and can fax me the article, I would be grateful. We will reimburse for any expenses. Any leads are appreciated.

RE: [Hasafran] DVDs
Kimberly, Do you have any statistics on the amount of times that the DVD's are borrowed before they are damaged or is the rate of return that you mentioned (3 or 4 scratched or otherwise damaged DVDs per month) based on relatively new discs? I am currently serving on a committee of the Association of Moving Image Archivists investigating DVD longevity, as such real life examples as compared to scientific data, could be very helpful. Your suggestion of putting the DVD into a computer and scanning thru the chapters is a good idea, especially if a librarian can check the discs before Teachers borrow them for presentations.

[Hasafran] Lilith publication
I know I'm blowing my own horn, but I hope you'll all take a look at the Winter issue of Lilith (should be arriving any day now).

[Hasafran] Paperclips
I know we have had previous discussion about the availability (or lack of availability) of the film Paperclips on video or DVD for library purchase. I now find that the DVD can be rented at Blockbuster, yet amazon.com says it won't be available for purchase until March 7, 2006. What's going on? Does Bluckbuster get to buy it before the rest of us. Is it available to libraries from some other source? Thanks for any guidance any of you can offer.

Two New Books on Jewish Ethics
Two important new books on Jewish ethics have just been published by Yashar Books. Moral Issues of the Marketplace in Jewish Law is a groundbreaking study by Aaron Levine, chairman of the economics department at Yeshiva University. Examining ethical questions in a variety of common business situations, Levine studies the situations from the perspectives of American law, secular ethics and the Jewish legal tradition. This 650 page book will quickly become a standard reference on the subject of Jewish business ethics. More about the book: http://www.yasharbooks.com/Moral.html Medicine and Jewish Law volume 3, edited by Fred Rosner and Robert Schulman, offers a virtual symposium on hot contemporary medical issues and Judaism. The authors, leading rabbis and physicians, write in a very readable format about relevant topics including infertility, genetic screening, cloning, time of death, organ transplants from pigs and much more.

They certainly could have done so. The books of Daniel and Esther are from roughly the same period. Even though many modern critical scholars may consider Daniel and Esther to have been written close to the time of the Maccabees (2nd cent. B.C.E.), the rabbis considered those books to have been written closer to the periods they chronicle. I believe they give the cessation of prophecy to be in the time of Ezra (about the 5th cent. B.C.E.), and would not canonize anything after that period. The only way Maccabees could have made it in, would be for it to have been considered some sort of prophecy written four centuries before the events it describes, which the book itself does not claim. -Stanley Nachamie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org

[ha-Safran]: ABA Booklist on Gutfreund's OUR HOLOCAUST: Haunting
--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ha-Safran]: ABA Booklist on Gutfreund's OUR HOLOCAUST: Haunting ABA Booklist has praised Amir Gutfreund's debut novel as a haunting first novel, a prizewinner in ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags /Israel, [which] brings the history very close now. OUR HOLOCAUST (ISBN 1592641393, hc, $24.95) is an outstanding, riveting and deeply human and humorous vision of the mystery of a second generation hidden from the horrors of what happened over there. The Re OUR HOLOCAUST was published first in ?xml:namespace prefix = st2 ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags /Israel, and later in Germany and Switzerland. This stirring, often humorous narrative offers a view into the lives of a group of Holocaust survivors who all live on one imaginary street in a suburb in Haifa. A conspiracy of silence, imposed by the patriarch of this strange tribe, prevents the child protagonists, a boy and a girl, from discovering what really happened over there. Their efforts to solve the mystery of the past take unexpected turns. Like Booklist, the foreign critics raved: A keen eye for observation, elegance of language and a captivating sense of humor. ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = urn:schemas:contacts /Meir Shalev Amir Gutfreund has written a remarkable book ...His first novel is an impressive achievement as a literary creation and in its dealing, without clichés and condescension. I read this book in one sitting; it opened new windows to me, in which familiar landscapes were drawn by an artists hand. Ha'Aretz Gutfreund knows how to draw characters. His love for these strange figures, who drift eerily through the novel, creates this special quality. Frankfurter Rundschau Our Holocaust is the opposite of historical remembrance or state-ordered mourning. Gutfreund writes with humor and respect as well as sensitivity and fascination for the absurd, expressive detail evident in every sentence. Neue Zuricher Zeitung OUR HOLOCAUST is available from Ingram, Baker Taylor and of course, from the Toby Press Direct!

Our Holocaust. Tr. by ?xml:namespace prefix = st2 ns = urn:schemas:contacts /Jessica Cohen. Mar. 2006. 428p. Toby, $24.95 (1-59264-139-3). Eloquently translated from the Hebrew, and written by the child of Holocaust survivors, this haunting first novel, a prizewinner in Israel, brings the history very close now. Why the panic when someone knocks at the door? Why does crazy Uncle Hirsch ask obsessively, Only saints were gassed? Always there is the dark humor of the old folks grudges, miserliness, and daily lunacy. The kids are forbidden to ask about past secrets, but when they are Old Enough, they hear the horrific memories in graphic detail. The spare accounts of unspeakable brutality, suffering, and sacrifice stay with you, and so do the big questions. The savagery of Nazi criminals is documented; why have so many never been punished? And what about the officials who were only doing their jobs? As the narrator fetches his kid from kindergarten today, he wonders about the people on the street: Who could be collaborator, informer, loyal soldier, killer, rescuer? With the arbitrariness of the survival stories, there is the inescapable truth that ordinary people made it happen. Hazel Rochman?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office / YA/C: Despite its length, this is an excellent discussion title for the Holocaust curriculum. HR.
