9:30  Spinning Straw into Gold: A Twenty-First Century Library 
Transformation - Sheila Beck & Devin McKay (Queensborough Community

redesign, a new space was created with a vibrant student centered atmosphere.

[ha-safran: Dani� Brown Author Appearance & Read-A-Likes

[Rachel Kamin]

Our Sisterhood's Welcome Brunch featured Danit Brown, author of Ask 
for a Convertible, a wonderful collection of connected short stories 
that centers on a thirteen-year-old girl who moves with her family 
from Tel Aviv to Michigan.  Danit gave a delightful and insightful 
presentation which everyone enjoyed.  For more information about her, 
and to contact her for an author appearance, visit her website at 
www.DanitBrown.com.  She lives in Ann 
Arbor, Michigan.

Our book club will be discussing Ask for a Convertible and I am 
compiling a "read-a-like" bibliography.  I am looking for suggestions 
of other novel, short stories, or memoirs that feature Israelis who 
have immigrated to America.  Books about Americans making aliyah to 
Israel would also be helpful.

Thank you!

RE: [ha-Safran]: Cookbook result

[Deborah Stern]

Another excellent title is Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking. It is
extensively and beautifully illustrated and gives lots of background
information on the foods it describes, with emphasis on Eastern European
dishes. I was fascinated and became very nostalgic, hungry, and
motivated to cook as I read through the recipes from cover to cover.

[ha-Safran]: "The Name and the Number"

[Shirazi, Gail]

PROGRAM AT LC BY ARGENTINIAN ARTIST-MIRTA KUPFERMINC -THE NAME AND THE NUMBER


EUROPEAN DIVISION OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PRESENTS

  What: "THE NAME AND THE NUMBER"
Lecture and video presentation by Mirta Kupferminc

When:  TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2010 at NOON

Where: European Division Conference Room
  Jefferson Building, Library of Congress

Argentinean artist, Mirta Kupferminc, has exhibited in more than 50 
individual shows around the world. Much of her work explores the link 
between the culture of European immigrants and their newly found home 
in the Americas.  Her award- winning artistic video, "The Name and 
the Number," establishes a relationship between embroidery and 
tattooing; both received simultaneously as a cultural heritage from 
her Hungarian mother. She was raised embraced by the numbered arms of 
both parents-Auschwitz survivors. Through her work she raises the 
question of identity and heritage. Her work is both a testimony of 
pain and a celebration of life.

Our thanks to the Embassy of Hungary for their cooperation

[ha-Safran]: Reposting

[Bob Schrier]

Here are the responses to a request I sent out a few weeks back, 
reposted in case anyone is interested.



Bob,

Since my retirement I did not follow up on the plans of Tora Aura to 
put on line their "The whole school curriculum".  Personally I had 
some reservations about their publications, but teachers loved  it.

Hageem uznmaneem lesimhah moadeem lesason.

Jerusalem Post publishes a magazine for teens:  D"Ash.  It has lots 
of Hebrew vocabulary and learning in it.  It's very commercial, a 
teen pop magazine, not appropriate in an Orthodox setting but 
otherwise might be appropriate for older middle school and high 
school.  You can check it out on their website.

[ha-Safran]: Torah Anthology

[Jeff Corbett]

Does anyone have a source to purchase the complete 45 volume "Tanach 
set" of Torah Anthology (Me'am Loez) translated into English by Rabbi 
Aryeah Kaplan?

A non-profit Jewish learning organization was inquiring and I offered 
to post their request to the list.

They would be willing to purchase the set new or used.

Thanks,

Gedaliah Yitzchak Corbett

[ha-Safran]: Blog entry -- New Rules for Communications

[Daniel Stuhlman]

On Wednesday I thought that I would take a break from writing blog 
articles about communications and marketing, however on Thursday 
morning at my local supermarket.  This supermarket has a huge kosher 
section -- two full aisles of grocery and frozen foods, a kosher 
deli, kosher fish department, and a kosher bakery.I got new ideas 
for a 12th article.  I learned about appreciation at the re-opening 
of the store after a major remodeling job.

http://kol-safran.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-rules-for-communications-chapter-12.html

Please send comments.

Shabbat shalom,

Donnie
