[Hasafran]: Invitation to a free Lecture
The Herbert and Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica & The Ivan M. Stettenheim Library at Temple Emanu-El Present 2005-2006 Lecture Series: The Arts and [Jewish] Identity [Genealogy, Society and Identity] April 25, 2006 at 6:30pm The Jews of Sing-Sing Ron Arons Nationally known scholar Ron Arons tells the true story of Jewish gangsters and other shady characters who served time "up the river" and the NY Jewish community's response. Arons's interest in Jewish inmates incarcerated at the infamous prison in Ossining, New York started after discovering, in the 1900 U.S. Federal Census, that his great-grandfather Isaac served four years at Sing Sing. Further genealogical research revealed two additional instances, in 1916 and 1925, where Isaac found himself the subject of a criminal investigation. In 1908, New York City Police Commissioner Bingham claimed that Jewish criminals committed one-half of all crimes in the city. The Jewish community responded to Bingham's charge by claiming that Jews held the moral high ground and, beyond a few gangsters, did not commit crimes. Despite their public response, the Jewish community was well aware of its own criminality and set up various organizations to address the problem. Due to its proximity to New York City, Sing Sing prison has housed thousands of Jewish criminals from 1880 - 1950 including numerous minor offenders, notorious gangsters, and the only civilians to be executed for treason (Julius and Ethel Rosenberg). Today, the inmate population of Sing Sing still includes Jewish felons, although their numbers are considerably less than in previous years. Ron Arons has earned degrees from Princeton University and the University of Chicago, and is a member of both the Los Angeles and San Francisco Jewish Genealogical Societies. As a seasoned genealogist, Arons has traced his roots to England, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania. As a recipient of the 2005 Hackman Research Residency Award, Arons' current research focuses on both famous and lesser-known Jewish criminals.

[Hasafran]: Jerusalem Books Pesah Newsletter
--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Jerusalem Books <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Hasafran]: Jerusalem Books Pesah Newsletter Dear Friends, Now that the elections festivities are over in Israel we can get down to our holiday plans for Passover. With a little luck, not only will we be blessed with guests at our Seder table at the Spitzer household in Jerusalem, but we will celebrate Mimouna, (a Moroccan Jewish festival) a day after the Pesah holiday in Eilat. One of the hottest books in Israel, perhaps to take on a long weekend, is Meir Shalevs latest, Yonah ve-Na'ar' - published by Am Oved and little has to be said about Meir Shalev's books. They are bestsellers and always a welcome addition to any library. Cat.no. 59111 $22.00 In addition although, Tomy Lapids Shinui party self destructed, his son Yair Lapid has come out with another novel, Ha-Isha ha-Shniah,Published by Keshet, softcover, 288 pages. Cat. #58612 $20.00 In the area of Holocaust, we would like to remind those who havent already heard that Yossi Sarid, (former MK and head of Meretz), wrote a book called, Pepichik, about a boy who survives Auschwitz concentration camp only remembering his nickname that his mother called him by when they were separated and she was sent to her death. This moving an important work of non-fiction is a worthwhile addition to any collection of holocaust books. Cat.no. 58622 $17.00 An important relatively new publisher worth noting, Mazo Publishing, has come out with a new holocaust history/memoire entitled, An Odyssey of Survival, by Dr. Michael Klein. It chronicles the personal tragedy of his family from Janosalma, Hungary through the ghetto, deportation, Auschwitz, Budapest and rebuilding. It contains important history (including Camp Golleschau and Oscar Schindlers Forced Labor Camp..), as well as insights into Jewish Identity, Culture and Philosophy. Isbn 965-7344-06-9. Cat.# 59319 $16.00 Lastly, in this category, Tuvia Friedman, has published a history, auto-biography, 60 Years Nazi Hunter, published by his Institute of Documentation in Haifa, Israel. This amazing fighter for justice contributed to the apprehension and prosecutions of Nazi War criminals but equally important has been his tireless role in the documentation and teaching of Holocaust studies throughout his life. Cat.no. 59313 $55.00 Regarding Haggadot I would just like to note that there is a scholarly side to this common and popular item. In the past weeks we have seen a Rav Kook Haggada, with intro by R Aviner, published in Bet El, Cat. # 59432 $13.00 and The Tekhelet Mordekhai Haggadah, by R Mordekhai Elon, isbn 965-09-0194-9, published by Reuven Mass, Cat # 59433 $14.00. This stream includes many Haggadot with significant commentaries and reflecting the customs of many Jewish communities. We wish all of you a Happy Holiday, from all of us at Jerusalem Books.

[Hasafran]: Collection Development policy models?
Hi, I recently began writing a collection development policy for the small (about 2000 volumes) library at Cornell Hillel where I work. I have focused on defining our collection as primarily devoted to the support of programming. I define programming in two ways, broadly and narrowly: Broadly defined our collection includes materials for the entertainment and Jewish education of the Cornell Jewish community. Narrowly defined, our collection includes materials that support Hillel programs directly and study between the rabbinic staff and interested students/community members (music for holidays, core Jewish texts, DVDs on Jewish topics.) Weeding is a major concern - dealing with staff that is generally friendly to libraries but concerned about disposing of books required explaining why it is important to weed and how it is done. In weeding! it is important to consider such things as: is the item valuable, replaceable, a duplicate, available elsewhere locally, a gift that you shouldn't get rid of, damaged, out of date, not appropriate for the library in question. You can also define what you accept as gifts. I currently just have a rough draft, but I would be happy to send it to you if you would like to see it. Contact me privately.

[Hasafran]: Abu Jihad
Shalom, A database search turned up something that might be what you are looking for - an article in Arabic entitled the Arabic publication Al-Dustour, Vol. 18, No. 530 (April 1988), pp. 13-15. An abstract of the article in the Dayan Center Bibliography (from Tel-Aviv University) reads: AN INTERVIEW IN APRIL, 1988 WITH PLO DEPUTY COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF KHALIL AL-WAZIR (ABU JIHAD),ON PALESTINIAN MILITARY ACTIVITIES.THE ACTIONS OF FATH FORCES ON ISRAEL'S BORDERS ARE INTENDED TO FRIGHTEN ISRAELI CIVILIANS AND END ZIONIST IMMIGRATION TO PALESTINE. ONLY THROUGH THE USE OF WEAPONS DO THE PALESTINIANS RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION. ARAB CUSTODIANSHIP OVER THE PALESTINIANS HAS HARMED AND ISOLATED THEM. FATH APPROVES OF PALESTINIAN MILITARY ACTIVITIES WITHIN PALESTINE BUT NOT OUTSIDE ITS BORDERS. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TERRORISM AND NATIONAL STRUGGLE,WHICH IS LEGITIMATE. I don't know how you might obtain a copy of the original article, or a translation. Good luck.
