[ha-Safran]: FYI

[Eli Wise]

Dear Colleagues:


It isn’t very often that our profession gets a chance to express its 
opinions. I had the privilege of being interviewed by the Jewish 
Exponent for a feature of theirs. I want to share the article with 
you all because it is important for us to express our professional 
opinions as well as our angst’s to the public. In the computer age 
people lose sight of the importance of libraries and the service we 
provide to researchers. The article came as a result of a visit by 
the managing editor of the paper to the college. I would humbly 
suggest that we all try to get the word out about what we offer in 
assistance to people from the casual researcher to the academic. Our 
roles have not changed just the methodology of the way we assist.

Library Director

Re: "One night with the king" - what to think

[Andrea Rapp]

It took a lot of liberties with the story as it is in the Bible, just 
as the "Ten Commandments" epic did. (For example, the queen 
candidates who spend a night with the king entertain him by telling 
him stories, a la Scheherezade).
   When I saw it, the audience seemed virtually all non-Jewish; at 
the victorious final scene - victorious for the Jews - the audience 
burst into applause.  That was great. And two other people I know who 
saw it, at different showings, said the same thing happened!

The only "Christian" touch that I saw - that most would perhaps not 
detect - was a line where Esther says she loves the story of David 
and Goliath because it was his "faith" not his deed that saved the 
day.  Something like that.

Re: "One night with the king" - what to think

[Yael Resnick]

It's big-budget mass entertainment. From what I have read from 
advance press releases, it is not true to the Purim story, although 
it is obviously "inspired" by it. They have Esther trying to "win 
Achashveirosh's heart" as a main theme.

I would suggest watching the trailer at their website, 
http://www.onenightwiththeking.com, to see if it seems like something 
you feel comfortable with.

[OT]Re: "One night with the king" - what to think

[Aaron Kuperman]

My sons (in a yeshiva high school, but who regularly watch movies)
commented that the PG rating (which means: approved for all ages, some
scenes might be problematic or scary for very little children) suggests a
Christian bias, since if they based the movie on traditional Jewish
sources it would be rated at least R.--Aaron Kuperman

Re: [ha-Safran]: Rembrandt and the Jewish people

[Joel Bresler]

Hi, from Prof. Michael Zell at BU in response to Ms. Gisolfi's 
forwarded message:

>As far as I know, there is no DVD or video focusing on Rembrandt and 
>the Jews. (The only film that touches on this part of the Rembrandt 
>myth is the outdated 1936 movie with Charles Laughton as the artist, 
>so I wouldn't recommend it). Landsberger's book is also very old and 
>very much a postwar product. A recent book by Steven Nadler, 
>entitled Rembrandt's Jews, is an accessibly-written overview. My 
>book Reframing Rembrandt: Jews and the Christian Image in 
>17th-Century Amsterdam isn't really intended for the general reader 
>and is pretty heavy "Art History." It's also a revisionist take that 
>may not appeal as much Nadler's text.

Hope this helps,

Joel

"One night with the king" - what to think

[Amy Wissoker Graham]

This is a tad off-topic, since it's just been released in theaters, 
but I was wondering what people have heard about this movie.  It's 
supposed to be a retelling of the Purim story. The only thing I've 
been able to find out is that the company behind it is Gener8Xion (a 
company that produces Christian productions) and it's gotten a plug 
from the American Bible Society. My first inclination is to skip it, 
but since it is unusual to see such stories brought to the big 
screen, I can't help wondering.

Thanks,
Amy
