Dear Librarian:

The Public Programs Office and Nextbook are 
pleased to announce that the application for the 
newest round of Let's Talk About It: Jewish 
Literature reading and discussion grants is now 
posted online at 
www.ala.org/publicprograms 
. Public and academic libraries are eligible and 
encouraged to apply. The deadline for the first 
round of new grants is December 1, 2006.


Based on the "Let's Talk About It" reading and 
discussion model pioneered nationally by ALA in 
1984, Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature 
features scholar-led, theme-based discussions 
that explore the best in contemporary and classic 
Jewish literature. Over the past three years, 
Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature grants 
have been awarded to 159 libraries nationwide. 
Participating libraries will each host a 
five-part discussion series featuring one of six 
themes. The two new themes and book selections are:


Neighbors: The World Next Door
A Journey to the End of the Millennium, A.B. Yehoshua
Red Cavalry, Isaac Babel
Neighbors, Jan T. Gross
The Assistant, Bernard Malamud
Mona in the Promised Land, Gish Jen

Modern Marvels: Jewish Adventures in the Graphic Novel
A Contract with God, Will Eisner
Maus I/II, Art Spiegelman
Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer: Stories, Ben Katchor
The Quitter, Harvey Pekar
The Rabbi's Cat, Joann Sfar

Previous themes, which also are included, are 
Your Heart's Desire: Sex and Love in Jewish 
Literature; Demons, Golems, and Dybbuks: Monsters 
of the Jewish Imagination; Between Two Worlds: 
Stories of Estrangement and Homecoming; and A 
Mind of Her Own: Fathers and Daughters in a Changing World.


Each library selected for the grant project will receive:

-A $2,500 grant (increased from $1,500 in the 
past) to support program costs and scholar honoraria.


-Training for the library project director at a 
national training workshop where they will hear 
from project scholars, experts, and organizers, 
and receive a program planning guide, materials and ideas.


-Program materials, including introductory 
literature and essays on each of the books, 
promotional materials and selections for additional reading.


Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature grants 
will be awarded in two rounds during 2006 and 
2007. Libraries that have already received a 
grant and completed a Let's Talk About It: Jewish 
Literature series are eligible to apply for a 
single-series $2,500 grant or a two-series $5,000 
grant under each deadline. Complete guidelines 
and an application are available online at 
www.ala.org/publicprograms 
or 
www.nextbook.org/ala 
. The application deadline for the first round of grants is December 1, 2006.


Let's Talk About It: Jewish Literature - Identity 
and Imagination is funded by a multi-year grant 
from Nextbook. For more information, please visit

[ha-Safran]: OT: 276 pictures of the record aliyah day

[Jacob Richman]

Hi Everyone!

On Wednesday, August 16, history was made when 520 olim
arrived in Israel on three Nefesh B'Nefesh flights. The flights
from Canada, the United States and England marked a new record
in Aliyah from the West.

Hundreds of guests, including myself, were on hand to greet the
new olim. The excitement was everywhere and you knew that
history was unfolding before your very eyes.

I took 276 pictures of the special event and posted
them on my website at:

http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/usa-aliyah.htm

(hold the control key and press F5 if you do not see August 16
on the top of the page)

Please forward this message to relatives and friends so they
can also enjoy viewing the pictures of this super event.

Have a great day,
Jacob

[ha-Safran]: Index to Jewish Periodicals on Ebsco - now

All,

One comment that we heard from Index to Jewish Periodicals 
subscribers is that they wanted the index to be updated more 
frequently.  Now that we are accessible as a database on EBSCO, we 
have been able to increase our update schedule for the online version 
to twice each year.

This means that as of now - August - articles are accessible for 
periodicals published as recently as June 2006.  This is a major 
improvement over the previous distribution schedule, which was once a year.

For more information, contact me or visit http://www.jewishperiodicals.com

Ted
