[ha-Safran]: The Introduction to the Zohar
A New Book From Nehora Press in Israel! This title is available via Baker Taylor, Ingram and bookstores. A Tapestry for the Soul: The Introduction to the Zohar Yedidah Cohen has performed a wonderful service in making available to an English-speaking audience this introduction to the Zohar by one of the modern masters of Jewish mysticism, the late Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag. Read it and it will help open your eyes to the infinite radiance that fills the world and the seeking soul. A life-changing work. **Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Great Britain** Kabbalah texts are challenging for the ordinary reader. But when an interpreter or teacher interposes himself or herself between the text and the reader, much of the experience is lost. This book is a study guide to the Introduction to the Zohar by Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag. It is for the student of Kabbalah who wants to learn directly from Rabbi Ashlag himself, without any intermediary. It is for the student who wants to use Kabbalah as it is meant to be used, as a tool to explore who we are, what are our souls' deepest desires and how we can understand what we are here in this life for. Yedidah Cohen, translator and compiler of A Tapestry For The Soul has taken Rabbi Ashlag's seminal work, the Introduction to the Zohar and found a novel way of letting him teach his own material. By taking relevant excerpts from Rabbi Ashlag's many writings and placing them next to the paragraph being learned, the reader can now learn directly from the Master himself. Patiently unfolding the dynamics of Creation and expounding on the spiritual principles that guide it, Rabbi Ashlag shows how the great play of Divine light with its myriad vessels applies not only to the higher realities, but to us, here and now, in our own lives. In A Tapestry For The Soul we examine what causes differences between people and what pulls us together. We examine how reality appears when viewed as a hologram and the consequent interconnection of all life. We learn that parallel realities really do exist and are a cause of hope and joy. Recognizing that the purpose of learning the Kabbalah is for us to grow in self-awareness and transform our ego-driven drives to those of cooperation and harmony, Cohen has pointed out opportunities for inner work throughout the text as journal writing or as topics for study groups. Original Kabbalah calligraphic art by Avraham Loewenthal, an artist who resides in the Galilee town of Safed, which saw the flowering of the Kabbalah in the 16th century, and is now experiencing a modern revival, provides the frontispiece and a further example of his art is used as a mandala for contemplation between the chapters. About the Author: Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag (1886-1955) opened the Kabbalah for our generation by deciphering the code in which it had been hidden throughout the centuries. His major work The Ladder is a twenty-one volume commentary on the Zohar itself, and he also wrote an extensive commentary on the work of the 16th century Kabbalah sage, Rabbi Isaac Luria (the Ari). He wrote many introductions to the Kabbalah, of which the Introduction To The Zohar is the most widely known. About the Compiler/Editor: Yedidah Cohen, studied the work of Rabbi Ashlag with a pupil of Rabbi Baruch Shalom Halevi Ashlag. She co-translated In the Shadow of the Ladder: Introductions to the Kabbalah by Rabbi Yehudah lev Ashlag with her late husband Mark Cohen. For the last ten years she has been leading study groups on the work of Rabbi Ashlag, in both Hebrew and English. The members of her groups come from all parts of the Jewish spectrum, and she has introduced this work to young people as well. For a long time she broadcast talks on the Kabbalah of Rabbi Ashlag on Israel National Radio and she has also given seminars at the Gifted Children's College in the School for Science and Technology at Tel Hai, Kiryat Shmoneh in northern Israel. Title: A Tapestry for the Soul: The Introduction to the Zohar by Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag - Explained using excerpts collated from his other writings with suggestions for inner work.

[ha-Safran]: Job Hunting Question
For a number of reasons, as some of you may know, I have been seeking another position. I recently applied for a public library opening in an area where my husband and I, for health and other considerations, would like to live (Florida). However, the job description calls for working on some evenings and weekends. I know employers are not allowed to ask if a person cannot work on certain days for religious reasons, but they can ask if the work schedule is acceptable to the applicant. Does anyone know how I can answer this question without ruining my chances of obtaining the position or having difficulties should I be hired for it or a similar one? (I know that an interviewee should never say that there are days on which they cannot or will not work!) I am not the type to make demands or raise an issue, I simply want to do what I love. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Basya Karp, Librarian Shulamith High School and Shulamith School For Girls Brooklyn, New York basya...@hotmail.com

Re: [ha-Safran]: Children's joke books?
When my now grown children were in elementary school, my son had a Jewish joke book called Silly Shimmy. I don't remember the exact title, but most of the jokes included somthing like Silly Shimmy says... My son LOVED that book. I remember once we took the family to Disneyworld, and my son was loudly telling Silly Shimmy jokes to the kids near him on the monorail -- children who were probably not Jewish and had not idea what he was talking about, but he was so happy! Does anyone else remember Silly Shimmy? I did a very quick Amazon and Google search -- found one Silly Shimmy book on Amazon, but then it was listed as out of print. It would be great if we could find or revive these books.

Safranim shalom: The following is for your information Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World by Jeffrey HerfYale University Press, 2009, 352 pages Reviewed by Daniel Pipes An excerpt from the review A specialist in modern German history at the University of Maryland, Herf brings a new corpus of information to light: summary accounts of Nazi shortwave radio broadcasts in the Arabic language that were generated over three years by the U.S. embassy in Cairo. This cache reveals fully, for the first time, what Berlin told the Arabs (and to a lesser extent, the Iranians). As page after page of Nazi Propaganda for the Arab World establishes in mind-numbing but necessary detail, the Germans above all pursued two themes: stopping Zionism and promoting Islamism.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Seeing a list of past book reviews
There's also the Index to Jewish Periodicals, which has book reviews from *lots* of other journals as well. If you use the IJP online through Ebsco, or on the CD-ROM, you can limit retrieval to only those reviews published in a particular periodical (in this case, the AJL Newsletter). On the other hand, the electronic versions of the Index to Jewish Periodicals only date back to 1988, so a researcher wanting to do an efficient and complete historical scan of book reviews would need to use both paper and an online source.
