Re: [ha-Safran]: Looking for Jewish Story about an Shammas
This is the second case in as many days that someone has mentioned Christian and Jewish tellings of the same story. I can add a third. There is a Jorge Luis Borges tale (I don't have the title at hand) about a man who has a recurring dream showing him the location of a buried treasure in another city. His wife finally prevails on him to go find the treasure. When he gets to the site he is arrested for trespassing. When he tells his story, the policeman tells him, I have a similar dream... and proceeds to describe the first man's own home. When he's released, the man returns home and digs up the treasure in his own backyard. Nice story, no? A few years ago I came across the same story in a collection of Hasidic tales, I can't remember which. I suspect that there is a certain freedom with intellectual property between cultures esp. if there isn't a lot of material in translation. I've no reason to assert that it takes place more in one direction than the other. But we know that Yiddish playwrights regularly adapted English plays into Yiddish. (One reviewer seeing a Yiddish version of Death of a Salesman wrote that he'd just seen the original.) I can see Yiddish tales being mined by other writers for ideas. The Russian-Jewish-Argentine writer Alberto Gerchunoff was supposed to be very influential on Luis Borges, so it isn't impossible that there was some cultural cross-over. I was looking for a quote I remember as attributed to Picasso along the lines of originally is directly proportional to the obscurity of your sources. Stealing from Yiddish writers would, at one time, have been a safe bet. Like Shakespeare stealing his plots from Italian writers before they were translated into English. -- Lee Jaffe, UC Santa Cruz p.s. I heard another variation on the Shammas story where two public figures told the same story. Bill Clinton claimed that while he was president, he and Hilary were stopped at gas-station and while they were waiting Hilary went into the shop. She was there a long time and when she returned she told Bill that the owner was her old high school sweetheart and they talked about old times. Bill remarked that had she not broken up with her old boyfriend, she might have ended up the wife of a gas station owner instead of first lady. To this, Hilary responded, No, if I'd stayed with him, he'd be president and you'd own a gas station. It turns out that the story -- doubtful on many levels -- really belongs to Dan Rather, who claims this actually took place to him and his wife and he'd told the story to Bill.

[ha-Safran]: The new volume of Yerusholaymer Almanach
Dear Hasafran, It is a pleasure to announce that the vol. 28 of Yerusholaymer Almanakh appeared in July 2008 in Jerusalem. It includes new original Yiddish fiction, poetry, essays, memoirs and papers by 35 authors from Israel, Europe and America. The volume opens with a tribute publication of the works of a number of leading Yiddish authors from the recent past and it also offers new Yiddish translations of prose and poetry from English, Hebrew and Russian. Its substantial new section of new Yiddish writing includes, among others, the complete text of a musical play, The Maiden of Ludmir by Miriam Hoffman (New York), the poems of recently discovered new Yiddish voices: Haike Beruriah Wiegand of London, and Sergey (Yisroel) Nekrasov of St. Petersburg; a new, longer poem by Velvl Chernin and a grotesque novella by Boris Kotlerman (both from Israel) as well as stories by Heershadovid Menkes of Vilna, and the veteran author of Ukraine, Yoysef Burg of Czernowitz. Among its essays, studies, and publications are included a memoir of Yiddish schools in prewar Vilna, a new Yiddish translation of a short symbolistic play by Shloime Mikhoels (the surviving text from 1919 is in Russian), as well as studies on the Israeli Yidishpiel theater, on Franz Kafka, and the Yiddish theater in Prague, on Sigmund Freud and the infamous Phillip Halsmann Case in prewar Austria, on the fate of Yiddish studies and culture in prewar Soviet occupied Lithuania, and a linguistic study of the lexico-semantic impact of Yiddish on the formation of Israeli Hebrew (Ivrit). All in all the Almanakh contains new works by 34 contemporary authors, essayists, and scholars from Israel, Europe, Russia, the USA, Australia, and Argentina. The address of the Almanakh's website is: http://yiddish-almanach.org/. Its Table of Content (including a generous samples of published works) can be viewed at: http://yiddish-almanach.org/index.php/yiddish/inhalt/ All the best, Dov-Ber Kerler Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org

[ha-Safran]: SEFARAD - a worthy addition to your library collection
Dear Librarian, A Documentary Series in 10 Parts Director Jack Matitiahu Producer Margalit Matitiahu A wonderful new release that is a superb addition to any library collection Since the beginning of the Middle Ages, Spain was a large and fertile center for the Jewish community. This unique series addresses the identity of the Spanish Jewish community in the past and in the present. Shot on location in Spain, Israel and additional European and North African countries, the series focuses on the history of the Jewish community before the expulsion from Spain and its aftermath. We follow history thru the Golden Age, the Inquisition and into the birth of the State of Israel. Sefarad is an excellent series for students of Spanish as well as Jewish history. The concept behind the series is to bring to the viewer an intricate story in a more in-depth way than has previously been done. We chose to focus on a particular city or district in order to present a layered and emotional story that is relevant to both the past and the present. Additionally, a meeting with a wider panorama is not only historical, but it also touches upon contemporary cultural life through interviews with poets, artists and musicians. Two episodes are currently available: Toledo and Leon. Each episode is a beautiful journey into a rich and fascinating past. The first chapter in the series is devoted to the northern Spanish town of Leon, a town with a rich, but little-known, Jewish history. The movie deals with the fine line dividing the apparent and the obscure in relations between Jewish and Spanish cultures. This episode takes on additional significance as we ourselves are the descendants of Spanish-Jewish exiles from the city of Leon. The city of Toledo was famous for its rich cultural and historical heritage; a city, in which three major cultures met, intertwined and enriched each other. In this episode entitled Toledo -The Hidden Secret, we experience a meeting of the past and the present, reflecting the history, culture and other aspects of former Jewish community life within the city's walls. It is the story of the city, from the 4th century, covering the Moslem and the Christian periods and up to the time after the Inquisition. We are pleased to offer you the first two chapters at a special price of $115 per episodes for school and public libraries and $300 for university libraries. The prices do not include shipping and handling. If you purchase both Toledo and Leon a 10% discount applies. For more information please contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruth Diskin Films Ltd.

[ha-Safran]: Gale response to AJL criticism of Article on
Zionism in Gale's Encyclopedia of Race and Racism 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 128.146.216.89 X-Listprocessor-Version: 8.1 -- ListProcessor(tm) by CREN Dear Safranim, There has been much discussion on this listserv about the article on Zionism published by Gale in their Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. I have been in contact with the publisher and expressed AJL's concerns about the article. Gale is aware of the controversial nature of this article and has responded to the criticism of it in the letter copied below. After discussion with several of the AJL members in the RAS division, we agree that Gale's response shows a willingness to recognize the problem and take steps to correct it. Gale is the publisher of several well-respected reference works of interest to Judaic librarians including Encyclopedia Judaica. Here is the letter: November 10, 2008 A Message from Gale, a part of Cengage Learning, regarding the Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. In November 2007, Gale, under its Macmillan Reference USA imprint, published the Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. Edited and written by scholars from a variety of fields, this work examines the anthropological, sociological, historical, economic, cultural, and scientific aspects of race and racism in the modern era. The encyclopedia contains over 400 signed, peer-reviewed articles. A complete list of articles, contributors and their affiliations, and editorial board members is available from a special link at www.gale.com. One article in the encyclopedia, Zionism, has sparked controversy among some readers who have challenged the accuracy of the article and questioned whether this topic is appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia on race and racism. Gale's role as publisher of the Encyclopedia is not to present a particular viewpoint on any topic, but to provide well founded information that presents a broad scope of knowledge and views on a subject. Further, while we cannot and do not shy away from controversial views, we are committed to providing comprehensive, respectful coverage. Based on the constructive feedback we have received, we have concluded that we should offer a broader range of views on the subject of Zionism. With an apology to those who believe that we failed, in this case, to live up to our high standards to publish a fair and balanced account, we are taking the following steps. First, we suggest that readers visit the websites of organizations such as the Zionist Organization of America (www.zoa.org) and the American Jewish Committee (www.ajc.org) who have contacted Gale to communicate their objections and express their viewpoints. In addition, we have begun to commission a series of articles for the online edition of the encyclopedia that will address these objections in several ways. We will commission several articles on Zionism that engage perspectives other than those given in the current article. Gale will work with well respected scholars to plan these additional articles and to identify authoritative authors. In addition, in recognition that national movements do not equate to racism, we will commission articles that address other forms of nationalism in order to present this topic in a broader context. Gale's objective is to provide publications that support critical thinking and informed debate. Gale's editorial integrity in presenting a broad array of viewpoints in a balanced manner is well known and acknowledged in the library and academic communities. Accordingly, where our readers and customers identify ways to improve our publications to deliver on this goal, we gratefully consider them. We will update this message with further information as authors for additional Zionism articles are chosen and other topics are added.
