Re: [ha-Safran]: Chumash for 4th-6th graders?
Hello, One possibility is TELL IT FROM THE TORAH, a 2-volume set by Pitspopany Press, which has a more traditional presentation. I've know teachers in non-orthodox schools who have used it. According to the website for the publisher: A succinct synopsis of the weekly Torah reading Rabbinic interpretations Open-ended questions An original D'var Torah for the Shabbat table Gemmatria - the numerical value of words How the Haftarah relates to the Torah reading A short humorous anecdote on the Torah reading The sources, customs and laws of the Jewish Holidays I have not seen Behrman House's THE EXPLORERS" BIBLE, but it looks quite interesting. For an introduction for those who do not like reading, you could try Chaya Burstein's Kids' Cartoon Bible. It does not have all the portions, and includes a bit of the Prophets and WRitings too.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Chumash for 4th-6th graders?
What comes to mind immediately is the series "My First Parsha Reader," but they're for younger children. However, "The Little Midrash Says" series, and The Family Midrash Says" series are appropriate for older children and families. They include a telling of the Weekly Torah reading. These are all available from Bnay Yakov Publications (1742 East 7th Street, Brooklyn, New York 11223; phone 718-376-5903.) The complication is, as you will have realized from the publisher information, is that these books are definitely told from the Orthodox beliefs. They are filled with Hebrew words; translated in parenthesis the first time they are used. They are classic books, and I have them in my Conservative Synagogue library, but they not meet your needs. (The kids would learn a lot, though!)

[ha-Safran]: Public transit to AJL Convention hotel from airport
(Please note: this email was also submitted directly to Aaron Kuperman). Dear Aaron, Thanks for your inquiry about public transit to the hotel [for the AJL Convention]. You make an important point. Before undertaking this effort, I investigated the possibility of taking public transportation to the hotel. Apparently it is possible to get there by taking light rail and then two busses, but depending on the time and day of arrival that could take a few hours (1 1/2 to 2 1/2) and involve a lot of waiting. I used the trip planner available online: http://tripplanner.gcrta.org/ If you find out anything else about public transit, I would appreciate knowing about it. Maybe there is a faster solution available. Thanks!
