[ha-Safran]: Jewish Books in Braille and TTY Machines
Chag Sameach Safranim, I was wondering if any of you knew any resources for buying Jewish books in braille for elementary school students (infancy through sixth grade). I also want to know which one of your libraries has a TTY machine for elementary school students to use and how you went about purchasing one. If you could respond to these questions off of the discussion board for me, that would be helpful. I would like to know these answers soon because I am starting to create a Judaica library for a private Jewish day school.

The Bride Who Argued With God is a lavish anthology of mostly unknown tales recorded from immigrants to Israel by Israel Folktale Archives of the University of Haifa. Compiled, retold and newly translated by Hava Ben-Zvi, these timeless stories highlight the theme of human relationships, focusing on the role and position of women in the family and community. Most of these stories have not been translated into English before. An excellent source for elementary, middle and high schools, public and university libraries, study groups and clubs.

In the words of the critics: The wide range of settings: Morocco, Poland, Persia, Tunisia, Israel, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Iraq and more-admirably reflects the remarkable diversity of the Jewish diaspora An important piece of public history. -Kirkus Discoveries A remarkably rich collection of folktales, legends, Hasidic, andTalmudic lore from all corners of the Jewish world we learn so much about the many- hued traditions of Judaism, its customs, its mode of perception a book for scholars as well - Dr. Miriyam Glazer, University of Judaism, Los Angeles a delightfully engaging anthology, and the theme of love and relationships is very pertinent to my middle school students.

This enjoyable volume on Jewish practice and law serves, in the author's words, as an envelope to be opened from time to time in order to learn something new. Packed with nuggets of information, this pithy tome is a lighthearted introduction to the serious business of being Jewish. Follow this direct link to this title's details page on Gefen's web site: http://www.israelbooks.com/bookDetails.asp?book=606 ABOUT THE AUTHOR JOE BOBKER was born in 1947 in Ulm, a displaced persons' camp in Germany, to Polish Holocaust survivors Chaskel, ztl, and Ida Bobker. On May 21, 1949, the family arrived in Sydney, Australia, as Holocaust refugees. Joe Bobker received his early Jewisheducation in an after-school cheder witha handful of other boys from Holocaust homes. His teachers, Rav Hertz and Rav Barzel, werefl own in especially from B'nei Brak to teach Torah tothe handful of children of survivors. Joe's main mentor was HaRav Osher Abramson, zt l, also a Holocaust survivor. After graduating from the University of New South Wales, Joe Bobker pursued his Judaic studies at the famed Mercaz HaRav Kook Yeshivain Kiryat Moshe, Jerusalem. Over the years he has spoken frequently and written hundreds of articles about Jews and Judaism for a variety of newspapers - including the 100-year-old Los Angeles Jewish Times, of which he is Publisher and Editor-in-Chief. His work covers a wide variety of Jewish subjects from a very personal, philosophical - and often whimsical - perspective. Since 1980, he has lived in Los Angeles and New York with his wife Miriam, a barrister from Melbourne and herself a child of Holocaust survivors, Baruch, ztl, and Rivka Cohn. When asked whatacts as his inspiration, Joe replied, Eli, Avi, Benny, Dovi, Hadassa, Baylie, Layella, Devorah, Dalia, Toby, Chesky, Yoni, Baruch, Ze'evi, Mattie, Mordechai, Henny, Dovid, Shira and Osher - my sons, daughters-in-law, granddaughters and grandsons [as of Chanukah, 2006].

[ha-Safran]: Stumper
Can anyone help me identify this book? A patron is looking for a specific book about being Jewish which someone once lent her, and she cannot remember either the title or the author's name. She says it emphasizes the social (community, family, etc., perhaps ethical or political?) aspects of Jewish life rather than the religious aspects. The title is something humorous or light hearted, and she thinks it was a book which might be in the library collection of a Reform congregation, but probably not an Orthodox one. She says it was written for adults but that it was relatively easy to read. She has tried two major booksellers and has looked on line. From her description, it sounded as if it could be one of thousands of books, except for two limiting descriptors: 1. It was published some time prior to 2003, because the patron read it four or five years ago, perhaps in paperback. 2. The author or the publisher was from Minnesota. I would appreciate any information which could lead to the identification of this book, including advice on how to refine my searching skills.
