Dear safranim,

I know I can't send attachments on hasafran, so, if you think you can 
help me with my query,   please reply to me offline, and I'll send 
you the image that I refer to, below:

A member of our congregation donated to our synagogue a lovely 
needlepoint that her mother made,  showing images from  stained glass 
windows. Our museum committee wants to list the provenance of this 
piece before putting it on display, and they've asked for my help.

They have a photocopy of a photograph from a book, which I can send 
you,  showing the stained glass images.  The stained glass images 
have words in Hebrew only, and images relating to the three festivals 
(Pesach, Shavuot, Sukkot).  The donor's mother died 2 years ago, and 
the daughter does not know what book the photo was from.  All she 
knows is that her mother started working on the needlepoint in 1970, 
and finished it in 1995;   and that the windows were in a synaogue in 
either Jerusalem or Haifa.

If you think you can help me with this, I'll be very appreciative.

[ha-Safran]: Books about how to make a chuppah

[Ann Abrams]

Dear Safranim,

A patron is thinking about writing a book about how to make a 
chuppah, and was wondering if such a book yet exists.  I've searched 
and have not found one.  Does anyone know of any, just on this topic?

Thanks,

[ha-Safran]: Photos of stained glass windows - addendum

[Ann Abrams]

Dear safranim, again,

My assistant found the link, below, that has photos I've been looking 
for.  Can anyone verify that these stained glass windows are indeed 
in the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem, Hechal Shlomo, as this person 
says on her flickr site?

[ha-Safran]: New Book: In the Footsteps of the Lost Ten Tribes

[Stuart Schnee]

WHAT ARE THE JEWISH ROOTS OF JAPAN AND CHINA?


WHY DO TRIBES IN AFGHANISTAN BAKE CHALLAH & LIGHT SABBATH CANDLES?


Israeli Scholar Brings 30 years of Research to Light


The most fascinating legend of Jewish heritage is the legend of the Ten Lost
Tribes - the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Israel who were exiled by the
Assyrians in 722 BCE.


These tribes were driven eastward, across the fabled Sambatyon River, and
beyond the Mountains of Darkness, where they hoped to live in freedom. Their
brethren, the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, did not accept their
disappearance from the annals of history. Throughout the generations they
sought them ceaselessly, but the many emissaries who were sent to find them
vanished in their turn.


Dr. Avigdor Shachan spent thirty years studying, investigating and following
in their footsteps. He gathered facts and collected documents, testimonies
and folk traditions over several continents attesting to localities where
the Ten Tribes stayed. They are presented here in a manner that leaves no
doubt as to their accuracy, credibility and veracity.


In the new book, In the Footsteps of the Lost Ten Tribes (Devora Publishing,
October 2007), the author has brought together the threads of their
wanderings, their sojourns and their temporary stays. He looks at the
cultural, religious and social impact the tribes had on neighboring peoples.
Fascinating research shows the Jewish roots of numerous Japanese and Chinese
words and customs as well as Jewish practices observed in Afghanistan.


About the Author:

Dr. Avigdor Shachan, educator, author, and historian, traveled widely to
distant countries of central Asia and examined hidden scrolls extracted from
dust-laden shelves in libraries. He studied the concealed references of
crumbling maps, perused original and translated manuscripts of the
chroniclers of the history of the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, the Jews,
Britons, Chinese and Japanese. He analyzed the testimonies of tourists,
adventurers, warriors and missionaries to follow their tracks. In 2003, Dr.
Shachan published his findings in the acclaimed Hebrew text, Towards the
Sambatyon River: A Journey in the Footsteps of the Ten Tribes.
