[ha-Safran]: RAND - new book on terrorism
A new book from the RAND corporation on terrorism. 254 pgs. 2006 Free download: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2006/RAND_MG454.pdf Paperback ~$20http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG454/ Unconquerable Nation Knowing Our Enemy, Strengthening Ourselves By: Brian Michael Jenkins Brian Michael Jenkins presents a clear-sighted and sobering analysis of where we are today in the struggle against terrorism. Jenkins, an internationally renowned authority on terrorism, distills the jihadists' operational code and suggests how they might assess their situation very differently from how we might do so. He distills the jihadists' operational code and outlines a ferociously pragmatic but principled approach that goes beyond attacking terrorist networks and operational capabilities to defeating their entire missionary enterprise by deterring recruitment and encouraging defections.

[ha-Safran]: More Jewish and library podcasts
Hello everyone - I am posting the message below on behalf of a fellow podcaster. Hope you'll enjoy his shows as much as I do. -- Heidi Estrin -- Dear Colleagues, I am a reference librarian at a public library in the Midwest, member of a local congregation and even the brother of a rabbi. I'm also a former radio personality and host of a two new podcasts (Internet radio programs), which might be of interest to you:: JNewsLight: the lighter side of Jewish news (http://JNewsLight.com) and LibVibe: the library news podcast (http://LibVibe.com) Each program is about five minutes long, upbeat, smart, fun and professionally-produced. No ulterior motive. It's just my way of imparting some information, making people smile, doing a little tikkun olam. You don't need an iPod to listen to podcasts, just a computer with Internet and sound. It's a promising new medium, offering personal, on-demand content that goes far beyond the mass-appeal shows we're used to on traditional TV and radio. Please feel free to write if you have questions, let me know what you think...and tell friends about the programs! I admire the work you do. Sincerely, Marv K.

The seminar will be given in English by Dr. Diane Afoumado, of the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine in Paris and will be based on Dr. Afoumados recently published book, EXIL IMPOSSIBLE - Lerrance des Juifs du paquebot St-Louis (Paris, 2005, Introduction by Serge Klarsfeld). The seminar will be moderated by Dr. Henry Feingold, Professor Emeritus of American Jewish History at Baruch College, City University of New York. Dr. Afoumados book is the first serious academic study, based on new archival sources in the U.S. and Germany, to appear in France on the history of the SS St. Louis, the steamship carrying more than 900 refugees which was refused entry in 1939 by the United States and forced to return to Europe. Dr. Afoumado received her PhD in Modern History from the University of Paris X (Nanterre) in 1997. She is an historian at the CDJC in Paris and on the editorial board at the BDIC (Bibliothèque de Documentation Internationale et Contemporaine). She is the author of many articles on Jews in France during the Holocaust. For her book Dr. Afoumado used documents in the YIVO Archives as well as new sources in the United States and Germany. Dr. Feingolds publications include The Politics of Rescue: The Roosevelt Administration and the Holocaust, 1938-1945 (1971) and Bearing Witness, How America and Its Jews Responded to the Holocaust(1995). Dr. Feingold is also the General Editor of the five volume series published by Johns Hopkins University, The Jewish People in America (1992). From 6:00 to 6:30 pm, participants will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Afoumado and with faculty and graduate students. At 6:30 pm, the seminar will begin.

[ha-Safran]: ALA
Dear friends, The Israeli organization of librarians ASMI, printed this letter in its newsletter. It was sent to Dr. Avishag Gordon (I think from the Technion). In response to the recent Anti Israel activities in ALA, during the Lebanon war. She left ALA in protest. She wrote to their newsletter why she did so, and got many replies, including this one. I hope AJL will respond too. Yael Penkower Beit Morasha of Jerusalem - Original Message - From: Steve Mills [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 4 - Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 12:43 AM Subject: Librarians for Fairness Supports Israel Dear Dr. Gordon: I entirely agree with the sentiments expressed in your posting on the ALAWORLD list. I commend you for standing up for Israel against those who hate her within the American Library Association. It is precisely because of the anti-Israel activities by members of the ALA Council and various ALA subgroups (particularly the SRRT and the International Relations Task Force) that Librarians for Fairness was formed. A growing number of librarians and archivists have been joining our organization...especially in recent weeks and we hope you will join it too. There are no membership dues. We are simply looking for librarians and archivists who love Israel. Very recently, a number of websites, among them the Jewish Virtual Library, have linked to our website. Please visit it: ../../../Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/OLK42/www.librariansforfairness.htmwww.librariansforfairness.org (or simply Google search the words Librarians for Fairness). I am one of the founders of LfF and if you have any questions or want to help us in our much-needed campaign to support Israel within the profession, please e-mail me. We especially want more Israeli librarians and archivists to join. We are also interested in documenting any incidents of damage or destruction done to Israeli libraries, archives and information as a result of the Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist rocket/missile attacks against Israel. Sadly, I fully expect that there will be attempts to pass anti-resolutions Israel at the next ALA convention and that data will help us stand up for Israel.

[ha-Safran]: Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner
Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner, by Yael Levine (Jerusalem 2005, 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 in 1609. Rivkah Tiktiner is buried in the ancient Jewish cemetery in Prague, though she arrived in Prague 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. 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. References to the motifs appearing in the song are also included. 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 the Torah study. Simkhes Toyre Lid le-Rivkah Tiktiner is available at the following locations in Jerusalem: Lichtenstein bookstore on Straus St. near Kikar ha-Shabbat; Hevruta Book Store on 16 ha-Lamed Hey St. in Old Katamon; Ludwig Mayer Bookstore on Shlomzion ha-Malka St; Nissan Levi Store on Keren ha-Kayyemet St., Jerusalem. The price of the booklet is NIS 20. Mail orders within Israel are accepted directly from myself at NIS20 + NIS 5 for postage. Orders from abroad may be placed with Sifrei Yerushalayim.

(Librarians in Lebanon and France have launched a blog to disseminate information on damage and disruptions to cultural institutions, particularly libraries, since the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict that began July 12. Recent postings include a summary of damages to the Lebanese publishing industry, an expression of concern by the International Committee of the Blue Shield, and a statement on the effects of the conflict on public libraries in southern Lebanon by Minister of Culture Imad Hashem Bibliban) Perhaps we should join forces with our Israeli colleagues to tell the stories of public and school libraries, as well as cultural centers, that were damaged or destroyed by Hezzbollah rockets in the north and Kassam rockets in the south of Israel?
