[ha-Safran]: New Book about The Nordic Countries, Israel and the Jews
Behind the Humanitarian Mask: The Nordic Countries, Israel and the- Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld, Editor - Foreword by Gert Weisskirchen (Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs & Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, 2008) http://jcpa.org/JCPA/Templates/showpage.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1&TMID=103&FID=448&PID=0&IID=2588 In the past decades many pioneering efforts to demonize Israel have come from elites of the Nordic countries. The motifs of this anti-Israelism are similar to those of classic anti-Semitism of which it is a new mutation. Such highly discriminatory prejudices are in particular expressed in Norway and Sweden by leading socialist and extreme-leftist politicians as well as journalists, clergy, and so-called humanitarians. Behind the Nordic countries' appearance and oft-proclaimed concern for human rights lurk darker attitudes. This book deals mainly with lifting the humanitarian mask as far as Israel and Jews are concerned. This disguise hides many ugly characteristics such as false morality, a pretense of superiority, as well as profound humanitarian racism. The best-known Swedish statesman of the postwar period, Olof Palme was one of Europe's first prominent Holocaust inverters. He was at the origin of the permeation of anti-Israelism in segments of the Social Democrats, Sweden's classic government party. In recent years major anti-Semitic incidents have taken place in Norway even though there are very few Jews there. The country is a European leader of anti-Semitic cartoons, sometimes similar to Nazi ones. Norway is one of the very few countries that forbids Jewish ritual slaughter. At the same time, it is one of only three countries in the world that permit the cruel killing of whales. In this book, thirteen essays and interviews discuss various aspects of the attitudes of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland toward Israel and the Jews.

Re: [ha-Safran]: The latke who could not stop screaming
I will add my own review of the book from MyJewishBooks.com Finally, a book that reinforces that Hanukah is not the Jewish Christmas and is not about presents and gifts. It is the story of hope in the face of being outnumbered. Here is a story about a latke in the midst of a Christmas story. It is screaming and wailing. And why shouldn't it? Someone who lives in the house without the xmas lights adorning it has tried to fry the latke in sizzling hot oil. Rather than jumping out of the frynig pan and into the fire, this little latke heads for the open window. As the story progresses, we learn about the story of Hanukah and the misconceptions about the latke and the holiday. A variety of popular Christmas symbols cross paths with the latke and think it is nothing more than a hash brown, a nice side meal to a Christmas ham, and more (or less). Oh, what a deep and meaningful book this is. It gets more insightful with each reading. Why do the colored (xmas) lights fail to understand the latke? Why does the candy cane only focus on its minty fragrance and have no inclination for understanding that not everyone desires a peppermint scent? How could a candy stick be so distasteful under its red and white striped mint coating? Each confrontation ends with the latke running and screaming in search of understanding and identity. Until it lands under a pine tree in a snow covered, deep, dark forest (is this the forest, or the deepest darkest part of the human Jewish psyche?). Yet again, the pine tree is only focused on its small, provincial world view. If something plopped under it, then it must be a present. No? But wait. A family with an axe approaches the pine forest...

Toledo and Leon are the first two in a 10 part series that is a superb addition to any library collection. In a society that perceives itself as deeply Catholic, there are new and interesting findings which point to far richer and more diverse roots. In a recently published article, a report in the American Journal of Human Genetics is cited as saying that almost a fifth of Spaniards' genes are of Sephardic Jewish origin and another 11 percent can be traced to North Africa 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. Already purchased by Yale University, Stanford University and Amherst College Toledo and Leon is a beautiful journey into a rich and fascinating past. 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 r...@ruthfilms.com Ruth Diskin Films Ltd.

[Hasafran] The Chosen DVD
Dear Hasafran friends- The request below is for a copy of the film "The Chosen" for Jewish troops in Iraq. The cheapest price for this out-of-print film through Amazon is $93, and I have been unable to locate it cheaper anyplace else. Does anyone know how to get a cheaper copy of this DVD to send to the troops? Thanks.

They want a copy of the movie "The Chosen" on dvd (see below); on Amazon it starts at $93. Do you have any leads/ideas where I could get a cheaper (legal!) copy? I would wrap and mail it. Thanks for your help, Miriam -Original Message- From: Alex Rose Sent: Sun, 7 Dec 2008 2:44 am Miriam, I have a little bit of a weird request. After Shabbat services we (the congregants) were having dinner at the Dining Facility and talking about Jewish Cinema (and literature) this holiday season. Without a doubt, we all agreed that the Hebrew Hammer was a must watch for us. Then we moved on to other movies/books, and I was shocked to learn that out of the 6 guys who showed interest in a little Jewish movie group, only 1 other (besides myself) had ever seen or read Chaim Potok's the Chosen. When we looked on Amazon to see about ordering it, the price was a little outlandish (a Sgt quoted me $93). I was wondering if the synagogue or organization you work for have any copies of the movie (on DVD?) or even the book. This was one of the more influential Jewish books I had read growing up, and I vividly remember Dad taking Alan and I to the movies to see it when it first came out in 1981 (I was 7 and Alan was 4). Even as a 7 year old boy, t he movie was incredibly moving. I have of course, seen it since, and it is still a memorable film. So, on the special request front (I certainly don't want anyone spending $93 for it), if you can locate a reasonably priced copy, I know that our little congregation would great appreciate it...

After reading this article I contacted Ms. Lamble, the author, and asked her if someone involved in this project would address the attendees at the 2009 AJL convention to be held in Chicago and report on the results and especially to "tell us about how you are proceeding to locate the previous owners of these books? How we, as librarians, can, may be, help you in that process? And anything else that you would like to share with us." Today I heard that Mrs. Barbara Schneider-Kempf, the Director General of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preu?ischer Kulturbesitz (Berlin State Library - Prussian Cultural Heritage) will be coming to the convention and present the process and the results of their scientifically run project "Stolen books: The Third Reich's Exchange Center and the Prussian State Library in the years 1933 till 1945. Aspects of the supply with literature under the control of National Socialism". We are all so excited and I wanted to share this with you.

Our Temple library has always been "staffed" by volunteers whether they were professional librarians or simply members willing to help.

[ha-Safran]: Chanukah on the J Site and 127 holiday links
Hi Everyone! Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts at sundown, Sunday, December 21, 2008. Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication, faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says: "Never lose hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a small band of Maccabees over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who ruled over Israel. The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment http://www.j.co.il has several entertaining features to celebrate Chanukah: Jewish Trivia Quiz: Chanukah What does the Hebrew word Chanukah mean ? What type of foods do we specificaly eat on Chanukah ? What activities are forbidden during Chanukah ? Are woman obligated to light the menorah ? How many candles do we need for all of Chanukah ? Which family was Judah the Maccabee from ? How many branches did the menorah in the temple have ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable. Additional Chanukah resources and games on the J site include: Free Chanukah Clipart The Multilingual Word Search Game (English / Hebrew / Russian) The Hebrew Hangman Game My Hebrew Songbook (Hebrew Song Lyrics) My Jewish Coloring Book (online / offline) The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, I posted on my website 127 links about Chanukah, from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian. All 127 links have been reviewed / checked this week. The web address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdaych.htm Please forward this message to relatives and friends, so they may benefit from these holiday resources. Enjoy!

Segal Theatre Center, CUNY Graduate Center Date:Tuesday, December 16, 2008 Time:3:00pm - 9:00pm Symposium with Music (3-5:30 PM) and an evening Concert (7-9 PM). Location: CUNY Graduate Center , 365 Fifth Avenue between 34th and 35th Streets, New York, NY For more information: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/cjstu/pages/BBKlezmerpage.htm Phone: 2128171950 Email: c...@gc.cuny.edu The Center will be co-presenting, "Beyond Boundaries: Klezmer Music in the 21st Century". Featuring distinguished Klezmer performers, scholars, composers and cultural mediators, the event will be comprised of an afternoon Symposium with Music (3-5:30 PM) and an evening Concert (7-9 PM). This event is part of the 'Beyond Boundaries Series in Jewish Music' launched by the Center for Jewish Studies in Spring, 2008. The series seeks to explore aspects of Jewish music from the perspectives of multiple geographies, cultural identities and musical styles. The afternoon symposium with music at 3:00 p.m. will consider the current state of Klezmer music and its implications for the 21st century. Moderated by Dr. Marsha Dubrow, Resident Scholar in Jewish Music at the CUNY Graduate Center's Center for Jewish Studies, the symposium features noted Klezmer experts Alicia Svigals, Hankus Netsky, Yale Strom, Joel Rubin, Eve Sicular, Seth Rogovoy, and composer, Stephen Dankner, in a series of presentations followed by an eclectic conversation that promises to stimulate rich discussion about Klezmer as a world music genre with a long history and evolving future. Klezmer has a many centuries history, but its revival in the late 20th century has inspired countless musicians of all stripes to jump into the fray and 'mix it up' with all types of musics including classical, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, and other pop genres. The panelists, respected and established in their particular areas, will explore the current Klezmer scene not only in America, but in Europe, Israel and beyond, as they consider the possible prospects of the genre for future generations of musicians and audiences. The evening concert at 7 p.m. will feature a concert of Klezmer music by renowned Klezmer ethnographer and performing artist, Yale Strom and his band, Hot Pstromi, with the illustrious performers from the afternoon symposium joining in. In addition, internationally-acclaimed classical cellist, Matt Haimovitz, will perform composer Stephen Dankner's 'Klezmer Fantasy', a boundary-crossing, contemporary classical work that incorporates various Klezmer elements, and also a work composed by Yale Strom, The Ram's Daughter, arranged for cello and piano. Accompanying Haimovitz will be Geoffrey Burleson, faculty member at Hunter College, CUNY and Princeton University. Yale Strom also will present brief film clips from his forthcoming documentary, "A Great Day on Eldridge Street" marking the gathering in 2007 of over 100 Klezmer musicians in lower Manhattan at the historic Eldridge Street Synagogue to celebrate the joy of Klezmer music-making and its rich history. Among the symposium particpants: Alicia Svigals one of the world's leading Klezmer fiddlers and a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics. She has played with and written for violinist Itzhak Perlman, the Kronos Quartet, playwrights Tony Kushner and Eve Ensler, the late poet Allen Ginsburg, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, singer/songwriter Debbie Friedman, Hasidic superstars Avraham Fried, and many others. She has appeared on David Letterman, MTV, Good Morning America, PBS' Great Performances, on NPR's Prairie Home Companion, Weekend Edition and New Sounds. Dr. Hankus Netsky A multi-instrumentalist, composer, and scholar, Vice President for Education at the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts, and Chair of the Contemporary Improvisation Department at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Netsky is a founder and director of the Klezmer Conservatory Band, an internationally renowned Yiddish music ensemble, and serves as research director of the Klezmer Conservatory Foundation, dedicated to the preservation and perpetuation of Yiddish and Klezmer music traditions. He collaborated with violinist Itzhak Perlman on "In the Fiddler's House" a Klezmer music video, recording and touring project which

[ha-Safran]: Operation Solomon
Chevra, I thanked you all yesterday for the many replies regarding "Operation Solomon." I've received so many interesting answers, and requests to let people know what I found, that I'm sharing them today. I fully expect that there will continue to be more! Some of the very interesting things that did not culminate in my finding an actual DVD to purchase: The video Journey to the Promised Land: The Long Homecoming of Ethiopian Jewry (1992, 26 min.) tells the story of the Ethiopian Jews, culminating in their journey to Israel during Operation Solomon. It was a project of the World Zionist Organization Dept. of Information, Electronic Communications Division I have seen a video (it was in VHS at the time) that was produced by El Al about the Operation Solomon airlift. It was circulated by the company ( I am a former sales rep)and I am sure it would be available for use. Worldcat records two DVDs "Operation Solomon": 1. Operation Solomon by Israel. Shagrirut (U.S.); Embassy of Israel Collection (Library of Congress); DVD video Language: English Publisher: United States : Embassy of Israel, [1991?] 2. Operation Solomon 2. Operation Solomon DVD video /Language: English Publisher: Clarksburg, NJ : Alden Films, [2001?] BJENY has a program that you can see more about at this link http://www.bjeny.org/682.asp?dept=Educational%20Resources&Programs_ID=14 It was given to us by the Jewish Agency. This program includes a moving (short) video of the airlift. Operation Solomon: The last 24 hours Publisher: Washington : The American Association for Ethiopian Jews, Publication Date: 1991. Physical Description: 1 videocassette (9 min.) A glimpse of the airlift carrying 15,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in June, 1991. Operation Solomon/ arrival of Ethiopians in Israel May 1991. [videorecording] UJA 1 videocassette (15 min). Guide available. Coverage by news media, CBS, ABC, CNN & Jerusalem on line. I don't know about a DVD but JTS has a VHS entitled Operation Solomon (18 mins.) which we received from Alden Films in Clarksburg, NJ. Here's a summary from our catalog - "Describes Israel's ingathering of Jews from Ethiopia in May 1991. Includes footage of Operation Solomon, the airlift of 36,000 Ethiopian Jews from Ethiopia to Israel in one 36 hour period." Imprint T.V. program "Jerusalem Online": Jerusalem. Note: 10 yrs. old and up. Operation Solomon was an airlift that brought more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel, and took place in the period of 30 hours, with over 40 flights. This movie shows the details of the operation from Ethiopia to Israel, and Operation Solomon - the last 24 hours. Imprint 1992 Note: High school and up. On May 24, 1991, the government of Ethiopia gave permission for the Jews to leave. This film is about that operation known as the Operation Solomon. We have several VHS videos on Operation Solomon: Again the Second Time / By Tavam Limited.-- Jerusalem : Yavam Limited, 1991. [see info. from Daniel Stuhlman, below] Program #22: Operation Solomon / By Jerusalem on Line.-- Israel : Jerusalem On Line, 1991. Operation Solomon: The Last 24 Hours / By American Association for Ethiopian Jews.-- Journey to the Promised Land : The Long Homecoming of Ethiopian Jewry / Electronic Communications Division of the WZO Department of Information.-- Jerusalem You can watch the video on the Scholarships for Ethiopian Jews website: http://www.sfej.org/operationsolomon/default and there were many more! But it was Daniel Stuhlman who supplied the critical piece of information: The title of the particular film we were looking for is "Again. . . for the second time." He found it at Movies Unlimited and Jewishvideo, which is where I should have found it (Ergomedia gets to the same place). You can get it from Alden Films, which is an interesting site, but I've ordered it from Ergo Media/Jewish Video, as I've ordered from them before. (Same price; $19.95) So, this is what I've learned: I should have found this in the first place and didn't look with a wide enough lens (or, as my old Columbia reference teacher, John Fahey, would say, as he often did, "open the umbrella wider"), but what a wonderful response from all of you! While on the topic, one person also referred to the wonderful full-length movie, "Live and Become." Don't miss it if you have a chance to see it.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Volunteer help in libraries vs. paid staff
I am a volunteer, as is my systems/processing person is also a volunteer. My paid library job is at a local college, and I've always been lucky to find a student to work in the temple library rather cheaply. I am glad to say that they always have been dependable. They work Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings when there's religious school. They have various tasks like shelving/checking in and out/ etc. They also work with the religious school classes. I do cataloging and collection development. I do think there's a point where you can't keep asking congregants to volunteer (my fellow volunteer and I have been doing this for 14 years). Once our kids were no longer in religious school, we didn't want the obligation to be there every week.

Dear Safranim, I just want to make sure that the link and quote David Elazar sent to the list is attributed correctly. The text was written by Noorillah Karr, one of our faithful volunteers and not by me, Gabor, the librarian, who runs the blog it was quoted from. I believe I haven't introduced myself formally to the list, despite reading it for over a year. I am the Librarian at Congregation Beth Ami in Santa Rosa, CA. I took over the library from Suzanne Batzdorff, who has been wanting to retire for a year or more. She is also on the Hasafran mailing list.
