[ha-Safran]: The Pogroms of E. Europe 1903-1906
I'm forwarding this item I received through another list ... -- Lee Jaffe, UC Santa Cruz The Museum of Family History would like to announce the presence on its site of an important report and a table of pogroms committed between 1903 and 1906. First, you will be able to read the introduction and commentary to all of this as published by the American Jewish Committee in their American Jewish Year Book, Volume 8 (1906-1907). Secondly, you will be able to peruse a table of more than two hundred and fifty towns and cities in Europe where pogroms occurred. Within this table is a listing of the damage caused in these locations (when available), as well as some general remarks made about each pogrom. You will also find for each pogrom event listed, the date of occurrence, the name of the town or city, the gubernia, the overall population of the location and the Jewish population, though numbers are not given for every town or city. There is also a supplemental table of pogroms in other locations in November 1905 not included in this larger table. To make your town search easier, there is also included a table that lists alphabetically all the locations with a reference made with each to the entry number in the large table. There is also a table that lists the gubernias in which pogroms occurred, and their overall and Jewish populations. Most interestingly, though thoroughly depressing, is the Report of the Duma Commission of the Bialystok Massacre that occurred in June 1906. A goodly report is presented to you here as it reviews in detail many incidents that occurred during the pogrom, especially to the Jewish population. Those of you who might have had families that lived in Bialystok may wish to read the report thoroughly to see if any family names are mentioned. For those of you who have an interest in a particular town, this report and its included tables are for you. Lastly, the debates that occurred in the Duma as the report was being presented is interesting to read too. You can also read of the resolutions proposed and passed within the U. S. Congress from 1905-1906. It should be mentioned that all this is being presented to you at the Museum courtesy of the American Jewish Committee Archives. All of the aforementioned information can be found at www.museumoffamilyhistory.com/ajc-yb-v08-pogroms.htm -- Lee Jaffe Assessment Planning Librarian 3366 McHenry Library University of California 1156 High Street Santa Cruz, California 95064 831.459.3297 ldja...@ucsc.edu http://library.ucsc.edu/ --- 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]: Yeshiva-Appropriate YA fiction
Hi Aviva I am the librarian (retiring tomorrow!) at a Chabad boys' school in Melbourne, Australia. I just put together a rough document for evaluating resources which I am attaching for you. As it is the end of the school year here, we are busy winding down, but I can email you some books that are on our booklists if that would be helpful to you. I have been given quite a bit of autonomy in choosing fiction, not sure whether your criteria would be stricter than ours.

[ha-Safran]: Small library
I received this query from a friend who is working at a Chabad House. She writes: We have a new library, not huge, but I'd like to organize it. Someone at the shul is a librarian at a community college and she suggested organizing it by subject, i.e. a shelf called History, etc., similar to what they have in a bookstore. I was wondering if there is a simple system for organizing Jewish books. Can you point me to a website that would help me? Thanks so much, She doesn't specify if she wants to computerize it or have some system for keeping track of borrowers. Nevertheless, can anyone be of help to her? Thanks.

Hi Everyone! Just in time for Chanukah, My Hebrew Songbook is back and now has its own domain and website. http://www.my-hebrew-songbook.com Enter the songbook and choose the category Chanukah. You can view any song online or create printed song sheets with several songs together for a sing along. All Hebrew is graphic so you do not need Hebrew support to view or print the songs. All songs include Hebrew nikud (vowels). You will find the popular Chanukah songs here (Sivivon, Maoz Tzur, Al Hanisim, Yemay Hanukah, etc...) but also songs that you may have forgotten from many years ago. Feedback is welcome. In addition to the Chanukah songs, I updated the following pages: 144 Cool Chanukah Videos on YouTube: http://www.jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm 21 Chanukah Humor Files http://www.jr.co.il/humor/chanuka.htm 145 Chanukah Resource Sites http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdaych.htm Enjoy!

[ha-Safran]: help finding a video
Dear Safranim, A teacher did a search on Wikipedia and came up with a description of the following video : .In 1974 for The Marranos of Portugal the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) sent reporter Ron Ben Yishai to carry out interviews with families about their religious practice. After being asked to prove he knew Hebrew before they would talk he found people still reluctant to talk openly but did eventually gain a remarkable insight into their version of Jewish customs, prayers and songs The film was commended at the 1976 Jerusalem Jewish Film and TV Festival. I have exhausted all my resources in searching for this film, which he would like to use for a class. If anyone knows where to get a hold of it, please advise. We would prefer to borrow especially since he has not seen it and does not know if it would be suitable for his purposes. Thank you in advance. Please reply off the list ch...@ramaz.org.

[ha-Safran]: Library and Information Services Delegation to Israel
Has anyone else received an invitation to participate in a trip to Israel as a delegate to the Library and Information Services Delegation to Israel? I have received two of them, one from Camila A. Alire who I believe is the current President of ALA and a follow up one from People to People International which is running the trip. This trip is supposed to happen August 20-28, 2010. It is a one week trip, and it says it will cost approx. $6000.00. The cost of participation for professional librarians may be tax deductable and you can invite someone to travel with you who does not have to be a librarian. The goal of this delegation is to return to the U.S. with a much better understanding of international librarianship by listening to and learning from our Israeli counterparts. Additionally, we will have a lot of expertise to share with them that might be helpful in addressing their challenges. Possible collaboration/partnerships with our Israeli counterparts is another goal (from the letter for Dr. Alire) The preliminary mission statement and direction for the delegation have been defined initially by both Dr. Alire and our planning team in Israel. The initial topics of discussion are listed below. These will be further refined as the delegation is formed to incorporate delegates' specialized areas of interest and expertise. n The role of information technology in Israeli libraries and the extent to which IT is implemented n What are some of the other innovations in Israeli libraries n From the opposite point of view, what are some of the major challenges the Israeli libraries are experiencing. n What are some major challenges for Israeli library directors and administrators n What is the extent of professional development for Israeli librarians (from the follow up letter) One seems to need to be invited to participate in this (I have an invitation code number). I have no idea why I was selected to receive it. I am not even sure it is legitimate. IF IT IS FOR REAL, then it seems to me that someone from AJL should be involved. ALA does not have a good track record when it comes to Israel and I would hate for a trip like this to be hi-jacked by anti-Israel people. I am currently retired from public library work and now volunteer in a synagogue. This sounds more research and academic to me. I do not feel I would be a good choice. They want a reply from me by December 29, 2009, and then, if I decline they will offer it to someone else. So does anyone know anything about this? Has anyone in Israel heard about this? What about the Jewish librarians group in ALA, have they been involved? I'll be happy to email copies of the letters I have received to anyone who wants them. There is contact information given about this -- People to People Citizen Ambassador Program at 877-787-2000. emaili...@peopletopeople.com BUT they ask you to reference your invitation code number. I don't know if I should be giving that out ??? I just don't know if this is REAL or not. I look forward to hearing if others have also been invited to be a delegate to this.
