[ha-Safran]: Heidi's article in NewCAJE journal
Hi. I am pleased to announce that my article about the importance of Jewish libraries has been published in NewCAJE's inaugural issue of The Jewish Educator at http://thejewisheducator.wordpress.com/. Look for the third article down entitled "The Beating Heart of Jewish Education." Not to be pushy or anything, but if you find the article's reasoning compelling, you might want to share it with your administrators as a way to remind them of the importance of your own library. :^D Heidi Estrin he...@cbiboca.org --- 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]: Looking for Hebrew Book "Olelot" by Margoliot
Our Rabbi is looking for the Hebrew book "Olelot" (ayin-vav-lamed-lamed-vav-tav) by R. Margoliot (mem-resh-gimel-lamed-yud-vav-tav), Jerusalem, 1947. I couldn't find a record in WorldCat so if anyone can help me locate the book, I would appreciate it. The Rabbi only needs pages 63-66. Many thanks!

RE: [ha-Safran]: A Secret/The Secret
Just to clarify, there are two different movies available on DVD: A SECRET (2007) Follows the saga of a Jewish family in post-World War II Paris. Francois, a solitary, imaginative child, invents for himself a brother as well as the story of his parents past. But on his fifteenth birthday, he discovers a dark family secret that ties his family s history to the Holocaust and shatters his illusions forever. Adapted from Philippe Grimberts celebrated truth-inspired novel MEMORY. French with English subtitles. THE SECRETS (2007) Naomi, the brilliant and pious daughter of an ultra orthodox rabbi finds herself at a crossroads of life choices when her mother dies and she is expected to immediately marry her father's prodigy. Distressed yet determined, she begs that her father allow her one year to study at a women's religious seminary in Safed, the birthplace of the Kabala in order to prepare herself for the sacrifices she will make as a wife. Her father relents and Naomi's life begins to take an unexpected turn. Devote but lively, Naomi and her new friend Michelle befriend a beautiful, mysterious older woman, Anouk, (Fanny Ardant) who is ill and living nearby who may or may not be Jewish, and may have committed a crime of passion. Naomi devises a series of rituals which will somehow purify Anouk and purge her of her sins, but as these stretch the borders of Jewish law they must be kept secret. Eventually this journeys into the forbidden and leads to a growing attraction between the two girls and more crossroads are faced. The Secrets presents the complexities of a religious lifestyle in a vibrant environment of youth, rebellion and desire. Hebrew and French with English subtitles.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Historic Jewish Children's Books
Shalom Safanim. I wonder if approaching an institution like the Cotsen Children's Library at Princeton (I believe the director is Andrea Immel) would prove useful. B'chavod rav.

[ha-Safran]: Jewish Children's Literature collection
Hi, Folks. I am currently in Paris and have not been keeping up with email very well. But I saw the most recent HaSafran digest and wanted to comment. I am very interested in establishing a Jewish children's literature historical and contemporary collection at my university, San Diego State University. We already have a sizable children's literature collection at the library, plus we have the National Center for the Study of Children's Literature and a graduate program in the English Department that allows one to specialize in children's literature. I have already had conversations with our relatively new Special Collections librarian about the possibility of housing such an important collection at SDSU. If you are interested in my pursuing this possibility, I certainly will and will direct our Special Collections librarian to the HaSafran posts on this topic when I get back to the U.S. Thanks, June Cummins SDSU --- 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
