[ha-Safran]: Welcome Home to the New Olim (and 382 photos)
Hi Everyone! Congratulations and welcome home to the 239 new olim that made aliyah to Israel from North America. The NBN aliyah charter flight arrived in Israel on Thursday morning and included 103 children in 41 families and 58 singles. The youngest oleh in the group is 7 weeks old and the oldest oleh is 82 years old. The flight also included 4 dogs and 1 cat. I took 382 photos of the exciting, historic event and I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2010/a623.htm I also posted the 382 photos on Facebook for name tagging. There are two sets of photos and you can access the albums via: http://bit.ly/olim-aug19-facebook-1 and http://bit.ly/olim-aug19-facebook-2 If you have a Facebook acccount and you are in the photos or see someone you know, please feel free to name tag the photos. May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael.

RE: [ha-Safran]: How to boost library usage?
To my mind, the best way to dramatically raise the synagogue library usage is to bring your library's books to your congregants homes and places of work rather than expect them to schlep to you. Thank G-d today, in the 21st century, those synagogue libraries that are serious about increasing their usage, can actually do it with the help of www.JudaicDigitalLibrary.com We are the publisher of JDL and we now offer not only easy terms for subscriptions by congregations, but also first year subscription to Kar-Ben Digital Children's Library FREE.

[ha-Safran]: How to boost library usage?
I just saw a mention in the latest Reform Judaism about a temple that has a Havdalah observance followed by a movie every Saturday evening. If your temple or organization doesn't already so something at that time, maybe that would be a good initiative for the library. Getting people into the space is half the battle, yes? You could put out some books related to the film or a reading list. I've suggested our local Hillel try this -- they want to have the space filled more often -- and the Havdalah connection gives event a Jewish connection. -- Lee Jaffe, UC Santa Cruz p.s.
