[ha-Safran]: Judaism and China
My book The Covenant and the Mandate of Heaven: An in-depth comparative cultural study of Judaism and China- is available on Amazon.com. Barnes&Noble or can be ordered through your local bookstore. Description: If China is yin there must be an opposing culture that matches her in endurance, sustainability and depth. Is Judaism the yang of China's yin? What cultural bonds tied Judaism and China? Israel and China, past, present and future. These are just some of the topics explored in this book in a historical setting: not Chinese nor Jewish, but Chinese AND Jewish. The book compares ancient and contemporary Chinese sources with corresponding Western literature to show that these two cultures balanced each other in a cultural relationship of YIN and YANG: one as a religion that deeply influenced Western cultures and the other in an opposing environment secluded, isolated and little understood by outsiders. The book also presents China and Judaism through the eyes of the people who have faithfully followed their tenets since antiquity. Readers will see these two cultures in a new light: not as "fossils" but as two vibrant cultures tied by invisible bonds to survive and flourish to present day.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Hasafran@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Subject: [ha-Safran]: New Aquisition from CYCO BOOKS Date: Jan 21, 2008 5:24 PM Window of the Soul The Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534-1572) Selections from Chayyim Vital Translated by Nathan Snyder Edited and with an introduction By James David Dunn copyright 2006 isbn # 0-8197-0803-8 Brown Vinyl Hard Cover, gold lettering 6" X 8.5" 204 pages This book offers the first selection of kabbalah from the teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria (1534-1572) translated from the original pages of the Hebrew. This book fulfills the need to bring a selection of Rabbi Isaac Luria's teachings to Judaic and cross cultural channels in modern society for the first time. Lauria's kabbalah is as radical as it is revolutionary, because in ways that other kabbalists never thought possible, he answers not only the Jewish people's deepest questions of exile and homelessness, but with a vision given only to the most gifted kabbalistic mystics, he was to explain the very structure of the inner worlds of the spirit and of their evolution that led to the ultimate birth of souls and of our cosmos. price: $15.00 plus postage.

[ha-Safran]: "archiving" photographs
My synagogue is starting a project of labeling and archiving old photographs. I'd appreciate advice anyone can give about such a project. Here are some of the concerns of the person in charge of this project: What is the best way to store old photos - in what kind of material? I need the photos labeled and then we need to find what method works best for archiving them (albums, boxes. etc). Keep space saving issues in mind.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Accessing the Haaretz archive
Daer Paul, We have an account with Haaretz that is literally a "pain in the neck". Many of the Israeli Universities dropped it because of the difficulty in using it or in charging the user to pay per article. Israeli Universities wanted it to work as a " regular database" which the institution or University subscribes to. What we have is something called "asimonim" -- tokens. We purchased 1000 asimonim a few years ago and each time someone downloads an article we use up a virtual token. While the database is ONLINE, it is only accessable from the Central Library, not from other libraries and not from Home. We have asked and now I will ask again that it be set up like a "real database". We do have the Haaretz in microfiche from its inception until the present (a delay of six months) as we have all Hebrew Israeli newspapers in microfiche. I am not sure that it works the same way abroad. Gita __ Gita J.

Re: [ha-Safran]: A neutral text comparing the Jewish denominations?
Shalom Alba, Sylvia Firschein writing. You must have back issues of Hadassah Magazine to know that information. Too bad that most of us have not kept issues from so far back. Perhaps we should ask Hadassah to publish this article in a booklet for librarians or they or someone else can put it online for us to copy and keep for information in our libraries.

NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jan. 19, 2008 Contact: Don Canaan 352) 750-9420 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Israeli News Archive DVD Showcases 1993-2007 The Villages, FL -- Israel News Faxx (www.israelnewsfaxx.com) has presented daily breaking news and features from Israel and the Middle East since 1993. Now researchers at educational institutions and libraries can access the archive's searchable full-text DVD. The DVD contains more than one gigabyte (1000 megabytes) of information, 3,400-plus individual issues of Israel News Faxx and nearly six million words. Over the years, many research libraries have inquired about the availability of such a collection. Subscribers to the daily edition include the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Klau Library in Cincinnati. The original print-outs have been archived by The Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives. Journalist Don Canaan said, "Creating this archive provides a medium by which Israel can tell its story, The DVD includes searchable full-text ASCII, as well as Acrobat PDF issues from 1993 through 2007. The DVD and web site, www.israelnewsfaxx.com, have become valuable resources containing regularly updated content and other information." During the mid-1970s, Canaan lived and worked in Israel. For nearly one-half-century, his award-winning films and articles have been viewed and read at NBC and ABC News, the American Israelite in Cincinnati and in United Press International dispatches. He retired as an editor for LexisNexis in Miamisburg, Ohio, and now lives in what many people refer to as "an adult Disney World," The Villages in central Florida. The Pew Internet and American Life Project reported that 62 percent of the American 18-to-30-year-old tech-loving Generation Y group said they visited a library during 2007. "Internet use seems to create an information hunger and it is information-savvy young people who are most likely to visit libraries," Leigh Estabrook, a professor emerita at the University of Illinois and co-author of the Pew report, told Reuters. The survey indicated that 65 percent of that group researched information on the Internet. The DVD is available (postpaid) for U.S. $99.95. Purchase orders from recognized educational institutions are accepted. They should be sent to Don Canaan, 611 Saint Andrews Blvd., The Villages, FL, 32159.
