[ha-Safran]: Black over White
music that transcends borders BLACK OVER WHITE A film by Tomer Heymann Doc 49 min Sacred texts and indigenous tunes are at the core of Israeli musician Idan Reichel incredible music. His project as he calls it, is made up of musicians from diverse traditions. In this wonderful documentary we follow the Idan Reichel Project as they travel to Ethiopia to perform. But the journey is more than just a concert tour two of the group's main singers are originally from Ethiopia and their voyage is full of personal stories and encounters. The film raises questions about identity and seeks to reawaken the pain of immigration, which is still there even after so many years, rekindling the authenticity and bond to the place that will exist forever in their minds and hearts. Already screened at numerous festivals such as the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Denver Jewish Film Festival as well as The New York Sephardic Film Festival, BLACK OVER WHITE is highly recommended. For updated information, please check: http://www.ruthfilms.com/black-over-white.html We are proud to offer it to University Libraries for the price of $300 and $115 for Public Libraries.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Severance pay

Note that severance pay (as opposed to the American style unemployment insurance) is probably the rule in most other countries. --Aaron --- 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]: Severance pay
You are looking for Severance Pay in Mishpat Ivri? There is nothing in LC's data base on severance pay (I checked for severance with either Mishpat Ivri or Jewish law in the record), but there are several books in Hebrew with the heading Wages (Jewish law). LC also has a book on severance pay applicable to Jews in Mandatory Palestine, which might discuss Mishpat Ivri aspects. Otherwise you will want general English language material on Jewish laws pertaining to labor and employment (LCSH: Labor laws and legislation (Jewish law), three LC records in English). Note that in general, employment can be terminated by either party at any time absent an express agreement or statute to the contrary. --Aaron --- 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

[ha-Safran]: Index to AJL Newsletter Book Reviews
Bernice Lieberman asked: Is there an on-line or print index to reviews from the AJL newsletter? Here is the answer: 1) One of our colleagues is working on this and we hope it will be ready soon. 2) In the meantime, you can access back issues of the Newsletter since the end of Dec 2007 on the AJL website at: http://www.jewishlibraries.org/ajlweb/publications/newsletter.htm. They are in pdf format and can be searched. 3) If you subscribe to the Index to Jewish Periodicals on CD or online through Ebsco, it indexes the Newsletter, although it's now full-text.
