[ha-Safran]: Book Query

2006-03-18 Thread Linda Silver
No One Must Know, suggested by Margo Gutstein in answer to a Hasafran 
query, is a children's book by Eva Wiseman, published in 2004 by 
Tundra Books.  The main character is a teenage Canadian girl who has 
never been told by her parents that they are Jews and Holocaust 
survivors.  It is in the ValuesFinder, 
http://www.ajljewishvalues.orgwww.ajljewishvalues.org.  I don't 
think it is the book being sought.

[ha-Safran]: AJL Convention 2006 and Wed night @ the Hyatt

2006-03-18 Thread Ann Abrams
Dear safranim,

We have received emails from some of you hoping to stay at the Hyatt 
Wed night so you can take advantage of our wonderful Thursday tour to 
the National Yiddish Book Center.  The Hyatt has offered us 10 more 
rooms, at $235 for that night for up to 3 people; $310 for 4, which 
is  more than the Sunday - Tuesday rate of $195, but still less than 
their rate that time of year of $265.

We hope this will help more of you stay that extra day for our wonderful tour!

Ann

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Fundamentalism

2006-03-18 Thread Aviva Astrinsky
In my opinion, nobody should call an ethnic, religious, social, or political
group by any name other than that which the group calls itself.

Any other practice is actually name calling which may be offensive to that
particular group, and reflects the bias of the name caller.
Thus, it is correct to call a member of the National Socialist party -- Nazi;
a member of the Italian Fascistic Party -- a fascist; a member of any 
communist party --
communist. Applying these adjectives to any other group, is an 
intentional offense.

However, if a book discusses the opinions or philosophies, which deviate from
the prevailing consensus, or are considered controversial-- then LCSH already
has the term CONTROVERSIAL LITERATURE.
