[ha-Safran]: Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and Librarians
http://rememberthetrianglefire.org/ Fellow safaranim: I was reading about the 100th anniversary of the fire and upcoming televised films (HBO, PBS), and came across this comprehensive website that lists several nationwide events, many at libraries, some at theaters, to commemorate the tragic fire's centennial L. Mark MyJewishBooks.com PS http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/triangle/ I was reading this week's NYT story on the visit to the cemetery where many of the Jewish victims were buried. But the comments by some readers who found the kaddish for just the Jewish victims to be offensive were so outrageous! --- 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]: Movie Rights Query
Greetings Colleagues, I have been showing an Israeli movie once a month in the adult area of our library. That part of the library is often used as a classroom, and we always follow the movie with much discussion. There is no charge for attending these sessions. These are movies that have been legitimately purchased either through a distributer (with full knowledge of its potential use) or through a commercial vendor. In some cases extra fees have been paid at the time of purchase to the distributer who makes it known that an extra fee is required. Have any of you done something similar, shown a movie that was purchased commercially with the assumption that all the rules were followed, but were contacted later and required to pay a screening fee?

[ha-Safran]: Educational and Fun Resources for Purim
Hi Everyone! Purim, the fun-filled Jewish holiday, falls on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar. This year Purim begins Saturday night March 19, 2011. (In Jerusalem it starts Sunday night March 20) The following resources will help you appreciate and enjoy the holiday. The Jewish Trivia Quiz http://www.jewish-trivia.com Purim Trivia Why do people eat poppy seeds on Purim ? >From what tribe was Mordecai ? Why was Haman angry at Mordechai ? Who was queen of Persia before Esther ? Esther had another name, what was it ? How many times is Haman's name mentioned in the megillah ? What did the king do when he couldn't sleep ? What does the word "Esther" mean ? How many advisors did king Achashverosh have ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable. Free Purim Clipart http://www.jewish-clipart.com Whether you need a picture to attach to your "Mishloach Manot", a picture for your child's class project, a graphic for your synagogue, Hillel or JCC Purim announcement, the Jewish Clipart Database has the pictures for you. You can copy, save and print the graphics in three different sizes. My Hebrew Songbook - Purim Songs http://www.my-hebrew-songbook.com Enter the songbook and choose the category Purim. You can view any song online or create printed song sheets with several songs together for a sing along. All Hebrew is graphic so you do not need Hebrew support to view or print the songs. All songs include Hebrew nikud (vowels). Purim Humor Files http://www.jr.co.il/humor/purim.htm Worth printing several to entertain your guests at the Purim Seudah (festive meal). My Jewish Coloring Book - Purim http://www.my-jewish-games.com Kids love to color, need I say more. Purim Videos on YouTube http://www.jr.co.il/videos/purim-videos.htm 65 videos ranging from Purim Speils to funny gags. To learn more about Purim, I posted on my website 80 site links, ranging from from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and German. All 80 links have been reviewed / checked this week. The web address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdaypu.htm Feedback is welcome. Please forward this message to relatives and friends, so they may benefit from these holiday resources. Thanks! Enjoy! An early Happy Purim!
