Re: [ha-Safran]: The Teaching Company
I have many of the Teaching Company courses in our library, and many others at home. In the library we have the courses by David Ruderman (UPenn) in Jewish Intellectual History, Gary Rendsburg (Rutgers) on the Book of Genesis, Bart Ehrman (UNorth Carolina) on New Testament, Patrick Allitt (Emory) on American Religious History, and a number of others. These lectures are all outstanding. I call this section of our collection Jewniversity and it is one of the most popular sets of materials I've purchased. Many of my patrons have other Teaching Company classes at home--the ones on classical music are very, very popular; I buy the ones on history, intellectual history, the Greeks, etc. for myself to listen to in the car and while walking. New courses are issued frequently, and you seem to have found one; I will check it out myself, thank you! Andrea Rapp Wise Temple, Cincinnati PS:Courses regularly go on sale for the price you found.

As you may know, Women Make Movies is a non-profit media arts organization and the world's leading distributor of independent films by and about women. Award-winning Egyptian filmmaker Nadia Kamel's heritage is a complex blend of religions and cultures. Her mother is a half-Jewish, half-Italian Christian who converted to Islam when she married Nadia's half-Turkish, half-Ukrainian father. Recording the family's wonderful stories with her mother, Mary Rosenthal, Kamel bumps unexpectedly into the silence around old prejudices concerning the estranged Egyptian-Jewish branch of their family living in Israel since 1948. Bravely inspired to further challenge the boundaries between cultures, religions, and nationalities used to divide people, Kamel and her family embark on a personal journey of reconciliation and discovery to Italy and Israel, confronting with open hearts, fears and prejudices along the way.

[ha-Safran]: A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book - Review Essay
A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book - Review Essay by Yael Levine Synopsis: The basic theme underlying the book, re-claiming women's liturgy, is a timely one, and deserves to be lauded. However, the present edition contains mistakes. To err is human. One may argue that the prestigious Spiegel Grau should seriously consider withdrawing this edition, until they can produce a new edition free of errors. A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book, edited by Aliza Lavie, was published a short time ago by Spiegel Grau. This a totally new edition of the Hebrew Tefillat Nashim, published in Tel Aviv some three years ago, and is a bilingual one. Hence, owing to limitations of space, the choice of prayers is more limited in scope in relation to the Hebrew. The present book includes prayers, which were originally published in several languages, including Hebrew, Yiddish, German, and English. The book also contains prayers composed by several contemporary Orthodox women. Though I myself am Orthodox, one of the criticisms voiced in some of the Hebrew reviews was that the volume doesn't include prayers written by contemporary women who are affiliated with the Conservative, Reconstructionist, and Reform movements, or women who are non-affiliated. This has not been altered in the bilingual edition. * * * The study of Jewish liturgy in general, and women's prayer in particular, is an utmost present-day cause and interest. Wide sections of the Jewish population yearn and strive to lead a more spiritual existence. Thus, the underlying theme of re-claiming women's liturgy is a timely one. Particularly, from the last decade of the twentieth century, we have a witnessed a renaissance in the publication of books containing prayers for or by women, both in Israel and in the United States. The Merit of our Mothers: A Bilingual Anthology of Jewish Women's Prayers, edited by Tracy Guren Klirs, published in 1992, is but one example. The publication of A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book is a continuation of this trend. However, despite the positive aspects and underlying theme of the volume, the most disturbing fact is that the book currently contains many errors. I will state from the outset, that I intend to relate and confine this review to the subject matter only, and it is not my intention to refer here to any of the individuals who were involved in the preparation of the English edition, but to focus on a sampling of the problematics. * * * The new edition of A Jewish Woman's Prayer Book contains errors of several kinds; contextual and factual, errors in the Hebrew vocalization; errors in the footnote references, and in the bibliography. I will offer further on several examples in each of the areas; it is not the intention of this review to cover the entire range, but to present a sample. Additionally, a significant issue is that most of the prayers were translated from the Hebrew edition. Thus, prayers, which were originally published in Yiddish, were translated from two languages; from Yiddish into Hebrew, and from Hebrew into English. Likewise, with the prayers which were originally published in German. However, all prayers in languages other then Hebrew should have been translated from their language of origin, and not undergo double translations. * * * I will presently furnish two examples of factual errors. Prayer for the Wedding Day is the subject of pages 61-65. This prayer was published in the popular Huppat Hatanim by Raphael Meldola (1754-1828). In the background material it is stated that This prayer is taken from his book, Huppat Hatanim , and Rabbi Dr. Rafael Mildola appears as the author. However, is the introductory passage to the prayer in Huppat Hatanim, Meldola overtly writes that the prayer was authored by Rabbi Shem Tov ben Samon. Hence, the attribution of the prayer, at the very least in the title, to Meldola is incorrect. Additionally, the family itself spelled their surname name as Meldola. The letter mem was vocalized with a tzere, and not with a hirik. Thus Midola is not the correct form. Pages 319-322 bring excerpts from the Song for Simhat Torah, by Rivka Tiktiner. It is stated, inter alia, in the background material on p. 319: She also published a book called Meineket Rivka. However, this book was published posthumously, several years following her death. Further on, it is indeed stated that the book was first published in Prague in 1609, four years after her death. However, there is no evidence that she initiated the actual publication, rather the publisher did. Hence, this seems incorrect. * * * As mentioned, another problematic area concerns the vocalization of the Hebrew. There are words that are incorrectly vocalized. Since the prayers in this volume are intended for actual recitation, mistakes in the vocalization have a direct bearing on the ability to recite the prayers accurately and correctly. I'll list only a few of the problematic

He was a senior advisor to three U.S. presidents on Middle East and South Asian issues. The Search for al Qaeda reviews how al Qaeda was created and developed, presenting authoritative and chilling background on The Manhattan Raid, but Riedel focuses more closely on what has happened to it since that awful day. He outlines al Qaeda's ultimate goals, which are to drive America out of the Muslim world, to destroy Israel, and to create a jihadist caliphate larger than the Ottoman Empire at its height. The profiles and subsequent analysis reveal the network's multipronged strategy for accomplishing those goals: 1) Draw America into bleeding wars like the one that drove the Soviets from Afghanistan. 2) Build a safe haven for al Qaeda in Pakistan. 3) Develop other franchises in the Islamic world that can overthrow pro-American regimes. 4)Conduct more Western attacks along the lines of 9/11 or the transit bombings in Madrid and London. The book concludes with a strategy for dealing withand defeatingthis most dangerous menace.

[ha-Safran]: Teaching Holocaust in Elementary Schools
My PreK-8 modern Orthodox school is working on a policy for teaching the Holocaust. I am looking for any policies or guidelines that your schools may have which might help us formulate our policy. We do a major unit in 8th grade which culminates in an original production each year, but selected teachers in the younger grades are also teaching Holocaust units and some parents have objected. Thank you for your help, and I will be happy to share or post the responses I receive.

[ha-Safran]: Parashah book for lower elementary children?
A congregant has posed the question below. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Marga We are looking for a book or a series which is age appropriate and will introduce our 7 1/2-year-old to the weekly parsha. We'd like to be able to read it with her each Shabbat and incorporate it into our Shabbat evening ritual. We've looked into this a bit and found a series called Tell Me the Story which comes in a 5 book series but we haven't purchased anything yet. * Marga Hirsch Librarian Park Avenue Synagogue 50 East 87th St. New York, NY 10128 212.369.2600, x127 mhir...@pasyn.org 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: hasaf...@osu.edu 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
