RE: [ha-Safran]: Upcoming IFLA Conference in Ramallah
Thank you! Superb! Is there a way you could publicize your letter? -- perhaps by sending it to the broadcast and newspaper media that are likely to mention the conference?

[ha-Safran]: NEW FOR PASSOVER! The Eybeshitz Hagaddah:
Experiencing Redemption X-Original-To: Hasafran@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 7.1.0.9 X-Spam-Score: 1.30 (*) [Tag at 5.00] MISSING_SUBJECT X-CanItPRO-Stream: lists X-Canit-Stats-ID: Bayes signature not available X-Scanned-By: CanIt (www . roaringpenguin . com) on 128.146.216.129 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN The Eybeshitz Hagaddah: Experiencing Redemption First Ever English Translation of Work of Scholar Rav Yehonatan Eybeshitz This is a book not only for the Seder table .but for study and perusal all the days of the year. The difficult is made understandable and the obtuse is clarified in this work. I highly recommend it. Rabbi Berel Wein [this] translation is a marked contribution to Agadic-Hagadic literature. Rabbi Dovid Cohen This Passover readers will be pleased to find that in the new Eybeshitz Hagaddah (Devora Publishing, March 2008), Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz's unique works and his complex words of Torah are arranged in an organized fashion, making them accessible and understandable. Author Rabbi Shalom Hammer also includes his own additional, timely and insightful commentaries that reveal new insights to share around the Seder table while inviting the reader to experience the redemption of Passover. Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz was known for his brilliance and outstanding genius in Torah as well as his worldly knowledge in science and philosophy. This was exhibited as he led the Jewish community of Hamburg in the eighteenth century and debated religious and philosophical issues with Christian theologians of his time. Rav Yehonatan was a prolific writer and master teacher and this is the first time that his works have been translated into English. Rav Yehonatan was also a master Kabbalist and subject of much debate as is any genius of a generation. The posthumous printing of so many of his works is testimony to the profound influence his oral teachings and character had on his contemporaries. Readers will delve into the Torah thoughts of Rav Eybeshitz and appreciate this master's ability to intertwine all disciplines of Torah study and connect them in an understandable fashion. This translation will benefit those who have a strong background in Torah learning as well as those who are looking for refreshing and innovative thoughts to share at the Pesach Seder. Readers will experience redemption in a unique and personal way through the teachings of one the greatest minds the Jewish people have ever known! About the Author: Rabbi Shalom Hammer has lived in Israel for over 18 years, served as a Rabbi in the United States as well as for the IDF. He has the unique experiences of serving in leadership positions in the American Jewish Community as well as the Israeli Jewish World. These experiences explain why Rabbi Hammer's diverse personality allots him the opportunity to broadcast his weekly timely messages on OU Radio, teach in Yeshivat Hesder Sderot to Israelis; and at the same time travel throughout the Diaspora lecturing on crucial topics such as Jewish Identity, Education and Eretz Yisrael.

[ha-Safran]: Prayerbook history and commentary
Dear Colleagues-- I am in need of a few suggestions of English titles on the history and content of the classical Jewish prayers that I may recommend to an educated adult patron (non-Jewish) who is literate in matters generally religious and theological but not specifically Jewish. I have spent some time doing subject searches on Judaism -- Liturgy (LC classification) and variations, but everything I can find or everything of which I am aware is either too technical on the one hand or not scholarly enough on the other. Any assistance you may be able to provide would be most welcome.

[ha-Safran]: New Book Hardbitten Memories
Mazo Publishers announces the publication of Hardbitten Memories: In The Blink Of An Eye: Memories Of A Child Born In A Displaced Persons Camp by Yaakov Reinbach Yaakov Reinbach's odyssey from his birth in a displaced persons camp in Germany, through growing up and living in the United States, and finally setting up a home in Israel, may not be typical of all children of Holocaust survivors. Likewise all children of Holocaust survivors did not necessarily have the same personal experiences or develop the same sensitivities he did. However, his descriptions of the difficulties he had communicating with his father, his contact with the world of youthful rebellion in the 1960s, his brushes with anti-Semitism, his fateful meetings with charismatic rabbis and his growing awareness of the importance of Judaism for his personal life, will strike a chord with many readers. Hardbitten Memories: At the Blink of an Eye stands as an authentic testament of a child of Holocaust survivors coming of age in America and coming to terms with his parents' past. Comments by Dr. Robert Rozett, Director of the Libraries, Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority, in Jerusalem.
