Re: [ha-Safran]: World Congress of Jewish Studies

[Susan Dubin]

Thank you for posting this information, Daniel! Kol HaKavod to all 
the AJL Librarians presenting at the World Congress of Jewish 
Studies. Just the sessions you mentioned sound like it will be an 
outstanding program. I hope that some of you will write articles for 
Judaic Librarianship and/or the Newsletter about your topics.

Looking forward to seeing you in Chicago!
Susan Dubin
AJL President

[ha-Safran]: Looking for somewhat obscure Yiddish song

[Donald Weinshank]

Rough transliteration by ear:



Mi ayn achesh, mi ayn achesh
Bayt achakol shanah mi-kadesh
Intapu achidrash o-veged chadash
Z'rosh hashanah barakhot ha-vodash


Mi ayn achesh, mi ayn achesh
Mechaye atzchoch b'chutz neresresh
Mechaye ha-neirot may-y're-bacharon
O'v'baye kol chetz l'ro-kesed livon


Mi ayn achesh, mi ayn achesh
m'daish kedeyada oo'tzol'ed akesh
m'chai ra'ashan mikol mi-kasdesh
b'laton matsvikan voketz l'roesh



I have an MP3 of the song (plays in Windows Media Player) if you 
write directly to me:

Many thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Complimentary Book Offer

[Paul Hamburg]

Jane Sutz Brott would like to offer AJL librarians a complimentary 
copy of her book, Needle and Thread: A Tale of Survival from 
Bialystok to Paris by Charles "Shleimeh" Zabuski as told to June Sutz Brott.



Needle and Thread is the result of a decade-long collaboration 
between two cousins – June Sutz Brott of Oakland, California and 
Charles "Shleimeh" Zabuski of Paris, France.  Brott's father, 
Benjamin Sutz, and Zabuski's mother, Sarah Sutz, were brother and 
sister, born into a large family in Bialystok, Poland.  In 1908 
Benjamin, twelve, was spirited out of Poland and settled 
inAmerica.  Sarah Sutz Zabuski remained in Bialystok and was 
murdered, along with most of the family, during the Holocaust.  Her 
son Charles survived; however, for 40 years he refused to speak about 
what he had seen and experienced.



Brott, who had been haunted since childhood by an old photograph of 
the Bialystok family, eventually convinced Charles to talk.  The two 
cousins – meeting with translators in California and in France – 
produced Needle and Thread, an important contribution to Holocaust 
history.  Zabuski relates an eye-witness account of post-World War I 
Poland, the Russioan occupation, the German invasion, the ghetto, the 
concentration camps, the libraration, and the fragile beginnings of a 
new life in Paris.



Zabuski, after retiring as a tailor, wrote about his memories in 
Yiddish and French.  He also became a journalist for Undzer Vort (Our 
Word), the only Yiddish daily newspaper in Europe.  Active in the 
French Jewish community, he arranges yearly Yizkor (memorial) 
ceremonies for Bialystoker Jews.

[ha-Safran]: RE: AJL Conference transportation

[Shoshanah Rose Seidman]

Hi:

I shall share my answer to Judy's questions to everyone so you do not 
waste your time writing again and again.



1.   Public transportation:

The best stop on the Blue line from O'Hare to downtown to reach the 
hotel is the Grand Street station (Grand & State – 10 E. Grand 
Street)  The Hotel's address is 301 E. North Water Street.  It's a 
0.65 mile walk.  Chicago is flat (really flat) so it's easy to walk.

  Walk East on Grand (towards the Lake) until you reach Fairbanks/Columbus Dr.

Take a right on Columbus Drive.  You will see the hotel  two blocks 
ahead on your left.



2.   Bus to the airport after the convention

We need 40 people to make this option viable so we cannot offer it 
every hour (wish we had 1,000 attendees!).  We suggested 4:00 pm and 
then added a 1:00 pm possibility.  These will be the only options if 
enough people show interest.  So far we have only 3 for the 1:00 pm 
bus. Thank you for your understanding.



I shall now concentrate on other convention matters to welcome you in 
grand style.



See you soon,



Shoshanah

Subject: AJL Conference transportation



Hi Shoshana­I just opened the Hasafran with info on the transport 
opportunities for the meeting. From OHare, you mentioned the public 
transport. I understand it takes one to the downtown area but how 
close to the hotel does it go? If it is close enough to shlep a 
suitcase, I certainly would consider it. Would you mind sending more 
detail? Also, for the return to the airport on Wed, I am traveling 
with another Houstonian who is on the same flight out of OHare, 
departing at 5:30, so if a bus was booked probably around 3 pm would 
be the best time for us. (In case you are surveying when most are 
interested in leaving) We would appreciate a bus on the return 
because you always have much more to shlep in the bag! Thanks for 
updating us on this and hope to see you there. J

[ha-Safran]: Driving to AJL Annual in Chicago?

[Gertel, Elliot]

Dear Colleagues,



Is anyone, by any chance, driving to AJL Annual Convention in Chicago 
who would be passing through or near Ann Arbor, Michigan (about 45 
miles west of Detroit) very early on the morning of Sunday, July 5th 
taking I-94 West who would have room for one more passenger (one way 
would be great as I'm staying on for ALA)?  If so, please contact me 
off the list.



Many thanks in advance.



Sincerely,

[ha-Safran]: THE FIRE WITHIN as mentioned in The New York Times

[Ruth Diskin]

Dear Librarian,

The Power of Belief and the Sway of History



In the fascinating new documentary THE FIRE WITHIN (60 min), we learn 
about the story of the unique Jewish community of Iquitos, Peru. The 
rich history and distinctive past of this place are beautifully 
explored in a recent New York Times article as well 
(http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/22/world/americas/22peru.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=iquitos&st=cse)
 
.The fascinating past of Iquitos is the subject of the article by 
Simon Romero where Lorry Salcedo Mitrani, the director of THE FIRE 
WITHIN is quoted.

This is obviously a subject of great interest right now and we would 
love to have you purchase a copy of the film for your collection as 
well. THE FIRE WITHIN has already been purchased by the University of 
Massachusetts, Stanford University, Duke and Yale. The price for 
university libraries is $300 and $115 for public libraries. Prices do 
not include shipping and handling. The Film is available on DVD, and 
is accompanied by English subtitles.

In addition I wanted to bring to your attention our new and improved 
website. Besides getting a face-lift – we now offer purchase of our 
titles to individuals thru the site at home-use only prices.

I would encourage you to take a moment and take a look at the 
sitewww.ruthfilms.com

As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free 
to contact us at r...@ruthfilms.com

With best regards,

Ruth
