[ha-Safran]: Holocaust Records
Hi. The following item will be of interest to many of you. Jim Andover-Harvard Library: Holocaust Rescue and Relief: Digitized Records of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee http://www.hds.harvard.edu/library/collections/digital/service_committee.html A humanitarian crisis was brewing in Prague in 1939, and the Reverend Waitstill Sharp and his wife Martha went to investigate when they heard about it. From their initial work the Universal Unitarian Service Committee (UUSC) was born, and they eventually worked to establish food and clothing distribution centers, hospitals, and homes for children. The Andover-Harvard Theological Library is the official archive for the records of the Committee, and they have worked with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to digitize approximately 257 boxes of UUSC material dating from 1939 to 1967. Visitors can get started by clicking on the collection name on the homepage, and then reading the scope and content note for each area. The sections here include Executive Director Records, General Administrative Records, and Special Initiatives. The site presents a rather unique record of the UUSC's activities over a 25-year period, and it is a collection that is quite well organized and worth viewing. [KMG] -- James P.

Under Resources, I no longer see: 1) the bibliographies on various topics that members have prepared 2) the lists of books that various synagogue book clubs are reading. This was very helpful to our Sisterhood. Are these no longer available, or have I missed finding them?

[ha-Safran]: Anyone driving to convention from New York area?
Shalom l'kulam, I am organizing the egalitarian minyanim at Convention you'll hear more from me about that and I'm eager to introduce a new siddur, Siddur Eit Ratzon by Dr. Joseph Rosenstein. We only need about a dozen of them, but the cost and hassle of shipping them to Montreal is prohibitive. If someone is driving to convention who would be willing to bring a small carton of books, I would be most grateful. In all likelihood, you would not need to transport them back again. I will be encouraging people to buy the siddur as a resource for their libraries (and to recommend to their congregations, if appropriate). I'll take orders any day, and anyone who buys one can pick it up after our final minyan on Wednesday morning. But first we have to get the books there! Can anyone help?
