Re: [ha-Safran]: Adin Steinsaltz Talmud
As far as I can tell, 41 volumes of the Bavli have been printed so far. A projected 2 vols on Hullin and one on Niddah will total, when finished, 44 volumes. The 42 vol complete set advertised on the Steinsaltz site includes the 41 printed on the Bavli, and the one on the Yerushalmi.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Refusing to be enemies
Safranim shalom, Just the blurb describing the movie bothers me. The words Holocaust and Nakbah should not be used together. There should not be the slightest hint of comparison. And why Nakbah terror? Is there a woman representing Palestinian terror? The trailer shows the Jews suffering under the Nazis and the Palestinians under the Israelis. How is Nakbah described? By the fact that Arab leaders did not accept the 1947 UN Partition Plan, and called for the Arab residents of the British Mandate of Palestine to leave temporarily while the Arab armies crush the newly declared Jewish State so they then can return? Or is Israel to blame for everything? Dialogue is good, but not when totally anti Israel. Be careful, check their website and who the people are behind this movie. I have not seen the movie, but from what I have seen and read on the internet, Israel is portrayed as the villain, facts are misrepresented, and the Land of Israel as the Jewish historical homeland misunderstood. I, personally, would not include this in my library.

[ha-Safran]: Plaut family books
I am posting the following letter on behalf of Rabbi Jonathan Plaut: I have a collection of remainder books authored by W. Gunther Plaut, Elizabeth S. Plaut and myself, which I want to donate to Jewish institutions throughout the world. This is the second (and last) notice for these titles. I am pleased to forward them to you at my expense. I ask that you please list the books in your library catalogue and on WorldCat if you are a partner. These are the remaining books available: Through The Sound of Many Voices was written as a tribute for my father. On the occasion of his 70th birthday, 23 leading writers, scholars, and religious leaders honored him by writing original articles in their own fields of interest and scholarship. Included are articles by Eli Wiesel, William Hallo, Walter Mondale, Rabbi Walter Wurzberger, Robert Gordis, and Emil Fackenheim that appear in no other publication. Your Neighbour Is a Jew is a unique book that clears the air of prejudice and provides a lively catalyst for discussion and better understanding among people of all faiths stressing the common heritage of Christian and Jew. This is a book for non-Jew and Jew one of the few of its kind addressed to both, providing a platform of mutual understanding. My father also ventured into fiction, writing short stories and novels. We have the following remainder books available: Hanging Threads is a book of short stories to feed the imagination. Die Tora In judischer Auslegung (Deuteronomium) The Torah in German My mother's books, The Guggenheim/Wormser Family: A Genealogical 300 Year Memoir, and The Gumprichs of Munster/Westphalia: A Tale of Four Continents are extensive studies of genealogy and trace many roots, which would be of interest to Jewish students. For an example, the actor Kevin Kline is a relative. Please remember that we do not want any books exchanged or sold, so let us know what will fit with your collection. I would truly like your library to have these books and look forward to hearing from you. JVP Rabbi Jonathan V.

[ha-Safran]: Letter on the Wind
I'm just getting around to adding this children's book, by Sarah Marwil Lamstein and illustrated by Neil Waldman, to our library collection for Hanukkah. I wonder who wrote the afterword, which says: In the Old Testament's First Book of Maccabees, we read the story of Mattathias But only Catholic Bibles contain the Books of Maccabees in their Old Testament. Plus it says that the miracle of the oil story is in Maccabees, whereas it is really in the Talmud, isn't it? I think I'll put a little note to this effect in the back cover of our copy.

[ha-Safran]: Sad news - Frank Unlandherm
I received this from Frank's colleagues at Columbia University. With great sadness I convey the news that Frank Unlandherm passed away yesterday afternoon. Frank began working at Columbia University Libraries in 1965, after earning a degree in Near East Studies from Princeton, traveling and studying in London and the Middle East. He earned an MLS at Columbia in 1967. Starting as a cataloger and acquisitions assistant, Frank became the Middle East Bibliographer in 1969, adding Jewish Studies to his portfolio in 1993. After retiring in 2004, Frank came back to work part time to help us with the Jewish Studies collections. Frank was tireless in his efforts to build strong and comprehensive collections from and about the Middle East. Just prior to his retirement he developed the collections in the Islamic Studies Reading Room in Butler Library. He assembled one of the first portals for Middle East-related websites at the dawn of the internet age. He leaves a distinguished and valuable legacy in all the books and bytes he curated for faculty, students and scholars at Columbia and beyond. We remember him as a cheerful and friendly colleague, never too shy to ask another selector to pay for one of his books. His travel and cruise stories were legendary as were his love a good meal and shopping on eBay. He will be greatly missed. To honor Frank's wishes, his family and the libraries are hosting a gathering at VT Pizza this coming Sunday, Nov. 22nd. It will be an open house and folks are welcome to stop by any time between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. We will be in the back room of the restaurant. Any colleagues from JTS who wish to attend and remember Frank are most welcome. The Middle East Librarian Association has been discussing the development of a scholarship to honor Frank and recognize achievements in this field. I'll be happy to forward this information to you when available. --- 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

RE: [ha-Safran]: Picture of Moses Elias Levy
At the National Library of Israel we did a very extensive search for a picture of Moses Elias Levy and came up with many articles and books with information about him. In the biography Moses Levy of Florida, the author C.S. Monaco writes in his introduction: Admittedly, it is very unusual for a biography not to have the benefit of some artistic rendering of the subject. Unlike most prominent and wealthy individuals of the nineteenth-century, Levy avoided the portrait studio, apparently because of the biblical prohibition concerning graven images as well as his own stringent notions about vanity and self-love. Therefore, he left no image of himself for others to ponder and, perhaps, to gain insights by. Fortunately Levy's 1822 citizenship application revealed essential physical characteristics. This seems to explain why there are no pictures anywhere, including the Jewish Museum of Florida and the Florida Historical Society.

Dear Friends, I am really excited about the new Rabbi Rocketpower book, Rabbi Rocketpower and the Half-Baked Matzah Mystery- A Particularly Peculiar Passover. Last year my fourth grade students had an opportunity to read an advance copy and send comments to the Rabbi Susan Abramson. She mentioned our school's assistance in her acknowledgements! This is the third Rabbi Rocketpower adventure. Previous books are Rabbi Rocketpower and the Mystery of the Missing Menorahs (just reviewed in Jewish Book World magazine) and Rabbi Rocketpower in Who Hogged the Hallah? Check them out atwww.rabbirocketpower.com. For those of you in the Greater Boston area, Rabbi Abramson does author visits.

[ha-Safran]: YIVO Encyclopedia
I am admittedly biased in the matter, but in my opinion if a public library has the budget and the constituency for a reference work such as the YIVO Encyclopedia, then acquiring it is really a no-brainer. This is one of the most important Jewish encyclopedias to have been published since the original (English-language) Encyclopaedia Judaica came out in the early 1970s. It covers in great breadth and depth a region and a range of topics that have been given comparatively short shrift in other Judaic reference works. For good reason the YIVO Encyclopedia received the 2009 AJL Reference Award. Zachary M.

Dancing Alfonso Doc. 50 min Written Directed by Barak Heymann Heyman's camera embraces Alfonso; as he dances elegantly, as he flirts enthusiastically, as he glides gracefully He is a man who has the whole world at his feet and he takes on the world without shame. Dear Librarian/Professor, As people are living longer, the issue of how to deal with old age has taken on additional resonance. Two films from Ruth Diskin Films allow us a peek at the exceptional inner worlds of senior citizens in Tel Aviv who have a unique take on getting old. Dancing Alfonso is an award winning film with a rewarding character at its center. Barak Heymann follows a Tel Aviv senior citizen leading a dramatic life. Alfonso, the lead dancer in a flamenco class with an average age of 75, uses dance to express the alternating emotions of hope and rage of a man on the cusp of losing his wife to illness. Ida's Dance Club is where once a year a ballroom dancing competition takes place. All the competitors are way past retirement age, but that doesn't stop them from dancing and singing, from falling in love and being disappointed. The competition participants hardly know one another outside the club walls, but their lives, full of problems, are gradually revealed to us. We are offering the films for purchase at the price of $300 per title for universities - and a 10% discount on the purchase of both. The price for public libraries is $115 per title with a 5% discount for the purchase of both. Prices do not include shipping and handling.

[ha-Safran]: Yiddish Given Names
I have been asked by a colleague to post the following: Message for Jewish Studies librarians and for all interested in Yiddish Studies As of this writing, WorldCat lists 67 libraries as owners of Rella Israly Cohn's Yiddish Given Names (Lanham, Md.: Scarecrow Press, 2008), a lexicon focusing on 256 forenames bestowed, as the preface states, in the modern period, 1750 on, of the Yiddish language. This published work is based on the author's dissertation. The book, although not inexpensive, is highly worth recommending as a learned and deeply interesting reference source and discussion of Yiddish names, and by extension, of Ashkenazi Jewish naming practices and Yiddish historical linguistics. Chapters preceding the lexicon itself review not only the data fields for the names analyzed, but also the literature on the topic, the history of Yiddish (Earliest Yiddish appears to have arisen around 1000 CE) and Ashkenazi Jewish naming (contrasted with Sephardic practices). Rella Israly Cohn did not live to see final production of this book. One of her children, a linguistics professor here at Cornell, recently brought it to my attention, concerned it should receive consideration in the wider community of readers at multiple levels of interest. I had forgotten about this work but now remember happily ordering it last summer for the Cornell Library: though not a Yiddish speaker (yet), I am thoroughly sympathetic in a professional sense to serious efforts to study and even propagate this remarkable language. Now I have borrowed Cornell's copy and find enjoyment in both its scholarly depth and its careful organization. Respectfully, Patrick J.

[ha-Safran]: Israel Armstrong series by Ian Sansom
Does anyone know if the Mobile Library Mystery series by Ian Sansom - The Case of the Missing Books, Mr. Dixon Disappears, The Book Stops Here, and the newest installment, The Bad Book Affair - have significant or any Jewish content? The main character, Israel Armstrong, is described in the descriptions as Jewish and from the review in Booklist (11/15/09), the fourth book may have Jewish content. Since it doesn't make sense to only purchase the fourth book, I'm wondering if the entire series is a worthwhile addition for a synagogue library. Our patrons are always looking for lighter reads. If anyone has firsthand experience with these books, I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks!
