[ha-Safran]: Jerusalem Books Thanksgiving 2006 Newsletter

[Jerusalem Books]

Dear Friends,



In the field of research on Hassidut, the name Prof. Gedalia Nigal 
must always be mentioned.  And if you don't yet have – Sipurim 
Hasidi'im me-Lamberg-Lvov (cat.no.60111 $54.00) you really should 
order it now.   However, R’ Yitzhak Alfasi, the known researcher and 
author has recently released two new books, ‘Hassidut b’Kol Dor 
va-Dor,’ and ‘Hikre Eretz Yisrael’.  Both books are published by 
Shem, Jerusalem 2006.



‘Hassidut b’Kol Dor va-Dor, stretches from the Baal Shem Tov and the 
Vilna Gaon to Rav Mendel of Vitebsk, who led others and emigrated to 
Israel (made aliya), in the late 18th  century. This work builds upon 
other works by the author such as his 4 volume set, The Encyclopedia 
of Hassidut (set #744,  each volume about $20.00) but stands tall in 
its important contribution to research in this field. The book 
chronicles the relations between European and pre-Israeli Hassidut. 
The final chapters of the book include research on women in Hassidut 
and the bibliographic origins of certain Hassidic works. Cat. #61423 
$20.00 (341 pages)



The second above mentioned book, ‘Hikre Eretz Yisrael,’ includes much 
history on Jews in Ottoman Palestine from the 17th century onward 
including an alphabetical listing of sages and biographies. The book 
includes chapters on the communities of Hebron and Tiberias as well 
as Tel Aviv and Religious Zionism. Cat #61424  $20.50 (373 pages).



Ahavat Shalom has published two books by R’ Eliyahu Rabinovich 
Teomim, aka the Aderet.  They are part of the multi-volume work, 
‘Otzar Kitve ha-Aderet.  The 2 books are:   Shlosha Sefarim Niftahim 
(cat.no. 61657) (Har Ha-Moria, Ozne Yerushalayim and Yalkut David) 
and the second book, (Otzar…) Sefer Megillat Simanim (and) Teshuva 
Me-Yira (cat.no. 61656).



The first, ‘Otzar Kitve ha-Aderet – Shlosha Sefarim Niftahim   is on 
Halakha and the second book includes a glossary of Talmud 
abbreviations. The last book within a book, so to speak, is a play on 
words on its subject ‘Yira Li,’ by Rambam/Maimonides and was 
originally published in 1907. Both books are serious, scholarly 
works, with square print and extensive footnotes and contain much 
material first published now from manuscripts.



Regarding Holocaust research, history and memoirs, I would like to 
mention and recommend the recent work by former Knesset Speaker, Dov 
Shilansky,  Hashekhah le-'Or ha-Yom (Darkness Shrouded the 
Day)  published by Yad Vashem.  Cat. #60507 $21.00



Another holocaust memoir, this one self-published is Me-Hasho’ah el- 
Shahar Hadash,’ ‘From the Holocaust to a New Dawn,’ is by David 
Shahar, and is a first person chronicle of death and survival of 
Polish Jewry and the author’s new dawn in Israel including going from 
a refugee to fighter in the War of Independence. Cat. #61348 $40.00



In Hebrew Literature, along with a new novel and a new edition… such 
as Kameha, ‘Longing,’by  Judith Rotem  (Cat.no. 61509 $24.00) and 
‘Shlosha Me-Hem,’ by Aharon Megged with language changes by the 
author (Cat.no. 60904 $22.00) I would like to mention two important 
new books which involve literary critique and analysis of two major 
authors of Hebrew / Israeli Literature. The first is entitled: 
‘Yetzirah be-Yitzirah 'Asuyah,’ Creating from Creations,’ 
Inter-textuality in the Novels of Amos Oz, by Esther Azulay, 
published by Dani Sefaim, 2006 (Cat.no. 61174 $22.00).   The second 
is Shmuel Thomas Huppert's ‘Kod-kod Esh,’ ‘Fire Crown – in the 
company of the Poet Uri Zvi Greenberg, isbn 965-407-690, published by 
Carmel 2006.  Cat. #61420 $19.00



Lastly, I would like to highlight a recent book published by Yad Ben 
Zvi, entitled, Holy Land Scenes, 1906. This book of photographs and 
text commemorates and revitalizes a photo book of pictures of 
Palestine made by the Imberger brothers, a Templar family who lived 
in the German Colony in Jerusalem a hundred years ago.



The book by Yoel Amir has text by Jacob Wahrman and an introduction 
by Prof. Haim Goren an expert on the History of Palestine and Israel.



It is a truly beautiful book which combines scholarship, history and 
restored photographic images which make the scenes come alive.  This 
book is in English and Hebrew. Cat. #61560 $31.00



Happy Thanksgiving,

[ha-Safran]: New Book: "Mission With No Traces"

[stu]

New Book, Mission With No Traces: Sixty Years of Israeli Underground 
National Security by Amnon Yona, Includes Formerly Classified 
Materials Now Available



Amnon Yona was a leading player in the clandestine military 
operations that led to the creation of The State of Israel. Until now 
Yona's account had been censored, hiding the truth about some of the 
most difficult military missions during the fight for Israels 
independence. At last the author is permitted to share his saga of 
exploits, the covert forces and the struggle to survive in Mission 
With No Traces: Sixty Years of Israeli Underground National Security 
which has just been translated to English from the original Hebrew 
which reached six printings.



Yona's journey became a path of one secret operation after another. 
Missions with No Traces follows Amnons dangerous ventures, along with 
his own picture montage and authentic documentation, to give a 
first-hand detailed account of each mission.



Believing that Israel could be the only true homeland for Jews, Yona 
began his fight in Israels pre-independence underground youth army 
and continued the battle in Europe where he participated in top 
secret missions to counter Israel's enemies.



Yona was also instrumental in saving the lives of Jews in Europe. He 
organized and trained self-defense units, and coordinated the 
activities of the Jewish Brigade and other British Army units. His 
specialty was directing sabotage and other undercover missions on 
foreign soil, including Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Italy His 
courageous acts and dedicated services altered the course of Israels 
military success and the ultimate victory of independence for a Jewish state.

Novelist Fred Snyder weaves the divinations of ancient prophet Ezekiel
into a suspenseful story of family conflicts, international unrest, and
deliverance in Ezekiel's Vision.

To download the first chapter of Ezekiel's Vision-
http://www.fred-snyder.com/book.html#chaptersample

Robert Zadok is a young American college graduate determined to make
aliyah despite pressures from his family to assimilate. The grandson of
a scholar of the prophet Ezekiel, Zadok identifies with his ancestors'
Zionist principles, and believes he will always be conflicted between
those ideals and his connections to his parents. His dream of
contributing to Israel's rebirth is so strong that he defies his
family's wishes, and sacrifices both his lover and his material comforts
to emigrate. Once there, he discovers a city where his grandfather's
teachings are still followed, and he begins to study a forgotten
manuscript that unlocks the mysteries of Ezekiel's often misunderstood
prophecy. Zadok learns the secrets passed down through generations of
mystics, but does not yet realize how powerful this knowledge would come
to be.

Ezekiel's Vision brings to life the controversy surrounding Jewish
continuity, the relevance of prophecies to contemporary crises, and the
tough choices we often face within our relationships - both personal and
international. In a story that weaves mysticism, prophecy, and
kabalistic secrets with the everyday challenges of marriage and family
life, Fred Snyder illuminates the many conflicts facing Jewish people
today.

[ha-Safran]: New Book, "Fragmented Families"

[stu]

The new book, Fragmented Families by Ellen B. Sucov, looks at the 
phenomenon of family rifts.



When family members turn against each other, refuse to speak, and cut 
off contact; is there any hope for a resolution?



In her new book, Fragmented Families (Southern Hills Press, 2006), 
psychologist Ellen B. Sucov, examines diverse aspects of family 
estrangement from personal, psychological, cultural, and religious 
perspectives. The book focuses on the meanings and process of 
alienation, its outcomes, and the paths toward its resolution.



Narratives of real families form the heart of this book.  Dr. Sucov 
focuses on Jewish families and the historical processes and religious 
traditions that impact on family life. Some of these families are 
still in the midst of the struggle; a few have found ways to rebuild 
connections and achieve closure.



The story of a painful, prolonged estrangement in the author's own 
family traces the sequence of actions that led to reconciliation.



Fragmented Families provides practical suggestions for strategies to 
clarify one's own role in the family and facilitate reconciliation 
with estranged family members. The book is intended for a general 
readership.  It will also be a relevant resource for psychologists, 
physicians, lawyers, social workers, and clergy.

[ha-Safran]: Another reading program

[Anne Dublin]

Dear colleagues,
I was so impressed with Andrea Rapp’s reading programs that I’d like 
to share what we’re doing, too. This year, I began a “readers’ 
choice” program which we call the “Olive Branch Book Award.” For 
students in grades 3 to 6, I chose 5 fiction and 5 non-fiction books, 
including some books by Canadian authors. The students commit to 
reading at least 3 books over 5 months. At the end of that period, 
they’ll vote for their favourite. We’ll give a fancy certificate to 
the winning author, put a sticker on the winning book, AND give 
bookmarks and gift certificates to all the participants. Quite a few 
kids (and their parents) have already signed up for the OBBA. There’s 
a real buzz in our supplementary religious school about the program 
and I’m thrilled about the positive comments so far. FYI, here are 
the titles of the books:
FICTION
* Ice Cream Town by Rona Arato
* Emil and Karl by Yankev Glatshteyn
* Broken Song by Kathryn Lasky
* Confessions of a Closet Catholic by Sarah Littman
* Turned Away by Carol Matas

NON-FICTION
* The Mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls by Hagit Allon & Lena Zehavi
* The Underground Reporters by Kathy Kacer
* Anne Frank by Josephine Poole
* The Travels of Benjamin of Tudela by Uri Shulevitz
* Albert Einstein by Frieda Wishinsky

[ha-Safran]: Re: Sephardic Eric Kimmel

[Andrea Rapp]

To those interested in my original post:
Artscroll has a book (which I haven't seen) called A Treasury of 
Sephardic Bedtime Stories, and the collections by Howard Schwartz and 
Barbara Rush have many tales of Sephardic or Mizrachi origin.  But it 
seems there is no "Sephardic Eric Kimmel."

[ha-Safran]: New Book Release: "Lighting the Way to Freedom"

[stu]

Just in Time for Hanukkah-New Book, Lighting the Way to Freedom: 
Treasured Hanukkah Menorahs of Early Israel by Aaron Ha'tell and 
Yaniv Ben Or, Illustrates the Lights of Freedom



Jews from all over the world look forward to the festive holiday of 
Hanukkah, waiting in anticipation for the time to light the candles 
of the menorah. What is it about the menorah that kindles the spirit 
of adults and children alike?



In their book, Lighting the Way to Freedom: Treasured Hanukkah 
Menorahs of Early Israel (Devora Publishing; November 30, 2006), 
authors Aaron Ha'tell and Yaniv Ben Or explore the menorahs role as a 
central object of art and worship in Jewish life, and its importance 
as a symbol of the triumph of freedom over tyranny. They trace the 
role of the Hanukkah menorah as a symbol of friendship between Israel 
and the United States, from Presidents Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush



This volume is a fully illustrated history of the Golden Age of 
Hanukkah Menorahs created by the pioneer Israeli artists and artisans 
from the 1930s through the 1970s; four decades from the closing of 
the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts to the Yom Kippur War. Lighting 
the Way to Freedom: Treasured Hanukkah Menorahs of Early Israel 
honors the talented pioneer artists who crafted the menorahs of this 
Golden Age and memorializes the courageous generations who lit them. 
Gathered for the first time ever in such numbers, these treasures 
reveal the texture and character of a remarkable period in the 
history of freedom



Title: Lighting the Way to Freedom: Treasured Hanukkah Menorahs of 
Early Israel

Authors: Aaron Ha'tell  and Yaniv Ben Or

Publisher: Devora Publishing   Pages: 268

[ha-Safran]: Reference Materials to purchase

[Carol Schaengold]

Our Synagogue Library is about to receive a donation which has been 
earmarked for reference material.  Other than the new version of 
Encyclopaedia Judaica (which the donation will only cover in part), 
are there other suggestions for reference materials we should 
consider purchasing? Is there anything new that is expected in the 
next 6 months?

For those who are purchasing EJ for their synagogue libraries, do you 
find that the material is useful to a range of congregants?

Thanks so much for your advice!

Hello all,

Has anyone been able to get this up and running in either a CD-ROM or 
a Web version?  At Emory,  we have not had any success with either 
version, and our computer people spent many hours on it.

Best,

Dear Chevre,



Attached is an invitation to a reception for a book “We Can Make It 
Happen,”  written by the South Area Solomon Schechter Head of School, 
Jane Taubenfeld Cohen, and illustrated by her mother, Bea 
Taubenfeld.  Jane wrote this children’s book for her young niece and 
nephew after the death last year of their father and her brother, 
David Taubenfeld.

If you live in the Greater Boston area, we’d love to have you join 
us.  If you are not able to attend, you can preview and order the 
book at www.kidzpoetz.com or at either the 
Amazon or Barnes and Noble websites.  While this book was written as 
healing story for those who have suffered a loss, it can also be 
viewed as a story about how we can all make the world a better place 
by following David’s example.



Any questions, please feel free to contact me.



B’shalom.

Carol

Dear colleagues,

  A teacher is looking for books in Hebrew for students in grades 
6-8. However, these students are Israelis, newly arrived in the U.S. 
so their reading skills are high. He's looking for books that will 
"not insult their intelligence" but don't have too much sex, drugs, 
violence etc. Do you have a list? Or a few suggestions for us? We're 
really at sea on this one.

Thanks for any guidance you can offer,
