[Randall Tenor]

Would someone reply to me if you know of a well done DVD done 
recently on Ethiopian Jews in Israel?  I would need the source as 
well. Thank you, Randall Tenor

[ha-Safran]: Hebrew childrens' books de-accessioned and can use a home [list; long message]

[J . Shulman]

 Hi.
 The Brooklyn Public Library has weeded 76 Hebrew children's 
titles (75 with nekudot (vocalized).
 I am hoping that some good home(s) may be found for all or 
some of these books. A detailed list follows.
DESCRIPTION:
 All but one are hardcover, in good condition, and not more 
than 10-18 years old. Each has a transcribed author/title sticker on 
the t.p. for processing by those who do not read Hebrew. Many have 
OCLC numbers as well.
 There are EZ books, first readers, bridge books, and some 
for the slightly advanced. A few deal with social anxiety; there are 
jokes, humor, adventure; 2-3 with religious content.

 I have chosen your names "out of a hat" but if you know to 
whom to forward this message, I would appreciate it. If you can't use 
them, let me know and I will look elsewhere.
Please forgive me as far as the order of names or organizations.

Re: [ha-Safran] statistics on Jewish book publishing in US

[Dina Tanners]

Here is an interesting point regarding sales of books with Jewish 
content.  I know that Hadassah has a list of top books sold by Jewish 
content, and we found the list is different from the books that we 
sell at a Judaica store where I work in Seattle.  We did contact 
someone, and we were told that lists such as these were compiled by 
sales at major chains or major book stores.  I wonder how much that 
skews the results that you are looking for.  I would think that the 
publishers would be a better source, but they actually only know how 
many books that they have shipped to book sellers.

(Also, since Night by Weisel was an Oprah choice, sales jumped dramatically.)

At one point, it was possible to see what the top ranked sellers were 
on Amazon.  I just found the Jewish bestsellers there, but I could 
not find the rankings.  I'm sure that web ordering has significantly 
changed the books that are sold too.

[ha-Safran]: Quick & Kosher: Recipes from the Bride Who Knew Nothing

[Stuart Schnee]

Quick & Kosher

Recipes from the Bride Who Knew Nothing





QUICK & KOSHER: Recipes From The Bride Who Knew Nothing (Feldheim 
Publishers; November 2007) is the hilarious story of Jamie Geller, a 
spunky young exec who came into marriage and kosher cooking without 
knowing a spatula from a saucepan.  Determined to master cooking yet 
short on time, she was dismayed to find that most cookbooks consider 
an hour of preparation time "quick," and presumed more culinary skill 
than many of us in fact have.  So Jamie set out to compile her own 
special collection of quick and easy recipes­recipes with 
step-by-step instructions requiring no more than 15 minutes to 
prepare­that would deliver scrumptious, eye-catching, satisfying 
meals to impress her family and friends.



QUICK & KOSHER is the result of her quest, a one-of-a-kind cookbook 
with more than 160 recipes and 120 full-color photos that will prove 
invaluable not only to culinary novices but also experienced cooks 
who love Kosher food. Among the many mouthwatering recipes include:
Charif. Charif is the Hebrew word for sharp­and, boy, does this dip 
have a kick. But that's the beauty of preparing a dish like this from 
scratch. You can make it mild or burning hot and serve it along with 
warm pita bread.

Griz Galuska. Farina dumplings are the Hungarian version of matzoh 
balls. A wonderful addition to chicken, beef, or tomato soup, they 
are so tasty that you may make them part of your regular culinary repertoire.

Chilean Sea Bass in Honeyed Pecan Sauce. The candied pecans combined 
with honey and soy sauce provide a pleasant contrast to this tender fish.

Speedy Coq Au Vin. To save her newly married son from starvation, 
Jamie's mother-in-law showed up one day to lend a hand. This was the 
first dish they made together. It was a huge hit. Thanks to Jamie, 
you can make it in half the time it originally took her mother-in-law 
and her­and it's every bit as good as the original recipe.

Creamy Ziti. This is the Geller dish that made her and her husband 
famous in the neighborhood. It's a quick prep, but it lasts long in 
people's memories.

Chocolate Chip Cheese Cake. Delicious and versatile. If you want, you 
can transform it into a into a chocolate swirl cheesecake with just a 
squirt of chocolate syrup and the swirl of a spatula. Not big on 
chocolate? Just omit the chips and it's a classic cheesecake.



Today, Jamie is an accomplished cook who presents every dish with 
professional flair.   And she never compromises her 15-minute time 
limit in the process. In fact, most recipes require less than 10 
minutes before they are popped into the oven, set atop the stove or 
served directly to your hungry, eager guests!



Several special sections such as "Setting Up Your Kitchen," "Secrets 
of the 15-Minute Chef" and "Shopping Like an Expert" are the result 
of extensive insider interviews with food professionals who helped to 
facilitate her path to culinary mastery. These sections offer 
practical answers to the questions you've always wanted to ask: how 
to buy meat, fish, produce, groceries, and wine. Moreover, every 
recipe page is a study in simplicity, with tips and techniques, 
clearly stated prep times, and reliable cooking times.



For the seasoned cook, this book offers a trove of great ideas and 
fabulous shortcuts.  Reflecting the sophisticated global tastes of 
today's cooks, recipes range from traditional to exotic, and are well 
indexed and cross-referenced.  Suggested variations and presentations 
raise basic recipes to higher levels and encourage creative 
experimentation. In addition to foolproof recipes, you will find 
information on Jewish customs and holidays, complete with menus for 
all of the religious holidays, and advice on pairing wines with 
various dishes.  Yet unlike any other cookbook, Jamie prefaces every 
section with her own uproarious tale – told with such contemporary 
wit and warmth that you'll want to read it aloud to others!



Is this a cookbook?  An autobiography?  A kitchen handbook for brides?  Yes.

It is all of these and more, for Quick & Kosher will amuse, inspire – 
and teach even skilled cooks a thing or two.

[ha-Safran]: Discovery of *Hitler Albums*Documenting Looted Art

[Joy Rich]

November 1, 2007

National Archives Announces Discovery of "Hitler Albums" Documenting Looted Art

Washington, DC . . . Today at a National Archives press conference, 
Allen Weinstein,
Archivist of the United States, Michael Kurtz, Assistant Archivist 
for Records Services
and Robert M. Edsel, author of Rescuing Da Vinci and President of the 
Monuments Men
Foundation for the Preservation of Art, announced the discovery of 
two original leather
bound photograph albums documenting art that was looted by the Nazis 
during World War II,
both of which Mr. Edsel will donate to the National Archives under 
separate terms.

These albums were created by the staff of the Third Reich's 
Einsatzstab Reichsleiter
Rosenberg (ERR).  This special unit was organized in the summer of 
1940 under Reich Leader
Alfred Rosenberg, initially to collect political material in occupied 
countries for
exploitation in the "struggle against Jewry and Freemasonry." The ERR 
established its base
of operations in Paris in July 1940 and on November 5, Hermann 
Goering assigned the ERR
the responsibility for the confiscation of "ownerless" Jewish art 
collections.  On
November 18 of that year, Adolf Hitler ordered that all confiscated 
works of art be
brought to Germany and placed at his personal disposal. During the 
next several years, the
ERR would be engaged in an extensive and elaborate art looting 
operation in France that
was part of Hitler's much larger premeditated scheme to steal art 
treasures from conquered
nations.

The Archivist hailed this discovery as "one of the most significant 
finds related to
Hitler's premeditated theft of art and other cultural treasures to be 
found since the
Nuremberg trials.  It is exciting to know that original documents 
shedding light on this
important aspect of World War II are still being located, especially 
so because of the
hundreds of thousands of cultural items stolen from victims of Hitler 
and the Nazis that
are still missing.  Documents such as these may play a role in 
helping to solve some of
those mysteries and, more importantly, helping victims recover their 
treasures. The
National Archives is grateful to Mr. Edsel and the Monuments Men 
Foundation for today's
donation of Album 8, which will allow scholars and historians 
immediate use of these
materials."  (Mr. Edsel intends to donate the original Album 6 at a 
future time, and until
then, to make this volume or images of it available to researchers 
upon request.)

These two photographic albums were in the possession of heirs to an 
American soldier
stationed in the Berchtesgaden area of Germany in the closing days of 
World War II. Mr.
Edsel, understanding the importance of these albums, worked closely 
with these heirs to
acquire them, thereby assuring their preservation and, by way of 
these gifts to the
Nation, availability to the public.

Mr. Edsel stated that the "Hitler Albums" are not only evidence of 
the premeditated effort
of Hitler and the Nazis to rob Europe and Russia of its greatest 
cultural treasures, they
also demonstrate just how obsessed and personally involved Adolf 
Hitler was with building
the world's greatest museum*the Führer Museum, in his hometown of 
Linz. "With the
increasing pace and visibility of restitution claims, and important 
discoveries such as
the 'Hitler Albums,' that story is finally becoming more widely 
known," said Mr. Edsel.

Soon after the German occupation of France in 1940, the German 
military, and subsequently
the ERR, focused their art confiscations on the world renowned 
Jewish- owned art
collections from families such as the Rothschilds, and the 
Veil-Picards, Alphonse Kann,
and Jewish dealers such as the Seligmanns and Georges 
Wildenstein.  According to the
German ERR documents from 1944, the art seizures in France totaled 
21,903 objects from 203
collections. There were 5,009 items confiscated from the Rothschild 
family collections,
2,687 items from the David-Weill collection, and 1,202 from Alphonse 
Kann's collection.
The first shipment of confiscated art objects sent to Germany from 
Paris required 30 rail
cars and consisted primarily of Rothschild paintings intended for 
Hitler's Linz Museum.
Among the first fifty-three paintings shipped to Hitler was Vermeer's 
Astronomer from the
Édouard de Rothschild collection, today in the Musée de Louvre in Paris.

As the ERR staff looted and catalogued the French collections, they 
created photograph
albums specifically intended for the Reichschancellery and Adolf 
Hitler in an effort to
keep them apprised of their work in France, and more importantly, to 
provide a catalogue
of items from which Hitler and his curators could choose art 
treasures for the Führer's
Art Museum in Linz, Austria. A group of these photograph albums were 
presented to Adolf
Hitler on the occasion of his birthday on April 20, 1943, by Alfred 
Rosenberg to "send a
ray of beauty and joy into [his] revered life." ERR staff stated that 
nearly 100 such

Dear Safranim,
I am forwarding a message that was addressed to our library.
Kindly reply directly to Mr. Rosenthal, whose e-address is listed below.
- 

Dear colleagues,

The International Resource Center of the Queens Library at
Flushing has a small Yiddish and Hebrew collection which
ought to be weeded. Unfortunately, we do not have staff
that can adequately undertake this task. Would anyone from
your library be availble to make a site-visit to check our
holdings? if not, can you recommend someone who can?

Thank You,
Stuart Rosenthal

[Ben Pastcan]

Shalom my fellow colleagues,

Thank you again to the librarians who took the time out of 
their busy day to reply to me with a few sources about Ashkenazi and 
Sephardic immigration to the United States.  This historical 
knowledge will really be a "feather in my cap" when I help facilitate 
a book discussion with adults this Friday on Emma Lazarus.  I am 
really glad that I entered such a kind and helping profession such as 
librarianship.  It only took less than 48 hours and I received a few 
replies by e-mail.  Thanks again and have a great Jewish book month 
at your library!

Re: [ha-Safran]: Library Journal reviews

[Andrea Rapp]

A ridiculous article.  I just took some time to read a bit on these 6 
authors, all of whom are apologists for the Palestinians.  One is a 
French journalist who fed into the fabricated charge of Israeli 
killing of Muhammed al-Durra. Another a journalist who participated 
in the falsehoods about the Israeli anti-terror operation in Jenin.
Another is an open supporter of Hamas and Hizbollah.
Another holds the Edward Said chair in Arabic Studies.

Publication of a one-sided and biased bibliography such as this makes 
me glad I no longer subscribe to LJ or SLJ.

[ha-Safran]: Sephardic and Ashkenazi Immigration to the United States

[Stephen]

Book suggestions that may help:

The Grandees, the American  Sephardic Elite, by Stephen Birmingham

American Judaism, by Jonathan Sarna, the first chapter on colonial 
history may be helpful.

www. american sephardifoundation.org  online site with good 
suggestions for research

and just doing a "Google search" should bring up useful sources.

[ha-Safran]: Literature and Jewish Food

[Stephen]

To add to the books already noted:

Any of Joan Nathan's cookbooks dealing with Jewish cooking should 
have lots of historical and cultural notes.

"Eat and be Satisfied", A Social History of Jewish Food", by John 
Cooper is a comprehensive history. ISBN 0-87668-316-2
