Dear Friends, The Ostrow Library of American Jewish University is thrilled to invite you all to join us at the ribbon cutting for our digital collection of nearly 200 photographs. Our collection is part of the Local History Digital Resources Program under the auspices of the California Digital Library. Our special guests will be the Rothschilds, the family of noted Hollywood photographer Otto Rothschild, who graciously allowed us to use pictures he took of the AJU campus over the years. We would also like to acknowledge our library staff and student volunteers, without whose help this project could not have been completed. We hope that you will join us for the ribbon cutting and light refreshments on Wednesday May 6th at 12:30 PM in the Library.

[ha-Safran]: Early Hebrew detective stories
Shalom safranim. Some years back, I heard Batya Gur z"l speak and she mentioned someone who wrote detective stories in Hebrew. I believe this was early in the twentieth century. Alas, the name of the author eludes me. If anyone knows, would you please let me know? B'chavod rav. Shmuel Ben-Gad, Gelman Library, George Washington University.
