[ha-Safran]: The Jews of Windsor 1790-1990
I have been asked by Rabbi Jonathan Plaut to bring this new book to your attention: THE JEWS OF WINDSOR 1790-1990 A HISTORICAL CHRONICLE BY JONATHAN V. PLAUT Beginning with the first Jewish settler, Moses David, the important role that Windsor Jews played in the development of Ontario's south is mirrored in this 200-year chronicle. The founding pioneer families transformed their Eastern European shetl into a North American settlement; many individuals were involved in establishing synagogues, schools, and an organized communal structure in spite of divergent religious, political, and economical interests. Modernity and the growing influences of Zionism and Conservative/Reform Judaism challenged the traditional and leftist leanings of the community's founders. From the outset, Jews were represented in city council, actively involved in communal organization, and appointed to judicial posts. While its Jewish population was small, Windsor boasted Canada's first Jewish Cabinet members, provincially and federally, in David Croll and Herb Gray. As the new millennium approached, Jews faced shrinking numbers, forcing major consolidations in order to ensure their survival. Rabbi Jonathan V. Plaut received his ordination in 1970 from Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he earned a Doctor of Hebrew Letters in 1977. He served Congregation Beth El in Windsor, Ontario from 1970 to 1984, and was the Senior Rabbi at Temple Emanu-El in San Jose, California from 1985 to 1993. Returning to the Detroit area in 1993, he became engaged in many non-profit fundraising projects as well as serving congregations needing part-time rabbinic services. He led Congregation Beth El in Traverse City, Michigan from 1999 to 2004, where he is now Rabbi Emeritus, and, since 2000, has also been the spiritual leader of Temple Beth Israel in Jackson, Michigan. A driving force in many civic and religious organizations during his career, Rabbi Plaut and his wife, Carol, have two married children and two grandsons.

On what mountain did Moses receive the Ten Commandments ? How many letters are there in the Torah ? In the days of the Temple what did people do on Shavuot ? Who married Ruth ? Who was Ruth the great-grandmother of ? What is the connection between the number 7 and Shavuot ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz.

Hi, We are an automated elementary school library. We were thinking of eliminating book cards this year. However, our Kindergarten and Pre-K classes still use the book cards to sign out their books within the classroom. Does anyone have any ideas to an alternative that we can offer so we can do this across the board? The kindergarten teacher would like to still find a way to use the individualized pockets that were created for each student.

[ha-Safran]: Israeli children's author available in November
This is posted on behalf of Sharona Tel Oren: Shalom,My name is Sharona Tel-Oren and I am the daughter of the late Hebrew poet/author Abraham Regelson (a recipient of notable literary awards), whose well-loved 1935 classic Masa HaBubot l'Eretz-Israel (based on the adventures and hardships of my family's aliyah in 1933) delighted a whole generation of readers, young and old. Today a great-grandma living in Israel's Negev, I'm the heroine of the book -- the original dolls' Imma. Not long ago, I translated the book into English (The Dolls' Journey to Eretz-Israel), as well as republished it in the original Hebrew. My lecture/presentation, A Historic Tale of a Unique Aliyah, has been given all over Israel in either Hebrew or English to adults' groups and/or to children over 6, before schools, synagogues, retirement centers, AACI/Hadassah/WIZO and ESRA groups, libraries, bookshops, community centers, and recently at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem -- everywhere received enthusiastically by audiences that find it both entertaining and informative. I plan on visiting the US this November, and will be happy to accept invitations to speak before your audience. Cities I plan on visiting (subject to change): NY (early in November), Boston, Toronto, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco and LA (late November to early December). Here is a short synopis of the book: When her parents decided to move from Cleveland to pre-State Eretz-Israel in 1933, three-year-old Sharona had to leave her dolls behind with her friend Phyllis. But the dolls, yearning for their Imma -- her songs, stories, and Sabbath table -- were determined to join her, and set out on the journey by land, sea and air to reunite with their beloved Imma. Through the medium of a doll-fantasy, the author describes what aliyah was like in those days, how people lived then in the young Jewish city of Tel-Aviv, how they spoke, and what they felt about their ancestral homeland. Self-published in Israel with Biblio International, and available in softcover through Amazon or Baker/Taylor [a hardcover library edition is available on order only directly through me], this lively historical book effectively inspires the reader with Jewish identity and love for Israel. It was included in the Israel Ministry of Education's Parade of Books 2006/7 project to foster quality reading for the young. For background, excerpts, reviews, readers' comments, audience reactions, and a 2-minute film with lecture preview, please visit www.abrahamregelson.org/dollsjourney.php For additional details you may contact me directly. Thank you for your attention. Your speedy response will enable me to plan my trip accordingly.
