[ha-Safran]: English language libraries in Jerusalem

2011-06-28 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends of libraries, Anglo-in Jerusalem:

I received several responses regarding my previous question, posted 
on the Judaic librarian listserv, HASAFRAN, about English language 
libraries for the Anglo community in Jerusalem.
I am wondering if those who are interested would want to meet for a 
conversation about this on Friday morning/early afternoon on July 
29th around to talk libraries? (Exact time and place to be determined)

? Would it be worthwhile to talk about a project devoted to 
increasing visibility, use, services and resources for the English 
speaking community ?  What are your thoughts and ideas?

Please share this email with others who have a strong value about 
libraries and who may want to be a part of the conversation.

Abigail Yasgur

I am Abigail Yasgur, a professional librarian (Master's of Science 
degree in Library Information Science) and the former director of the 
Jewish Library of Los Angeles.
I have always played around with the vision of an English language 
library in Jerusalem and I have never fully understood or spoken with 
someone who could tell me if there is an English language library in 
Jerusalem that works in a similar fashion to those public libraries 
in the US and offers itself as a cultural hub of activity and events: 
author talks, book clubs, family story time events.
I am looking for information related to this and would like to have 
some conversations with people who may find this an interesting idea 
and pursuit.
Exploratory stage. I have strong experience in initiating and 
developing this type of Library and I am interested in being in Jerusalem.

I will be in Israel, and specifically in Jerusalem from Friday July 
29th through Monday August 1. If I need to be there Tuesday August 2 
for a conversation I am happy to make myself available on that day as 
well. I would like to hear from people about this and do not want to 
step on toes either.
My email is abigailyas...@gmail.com

I will also post this letter to the Association of Jewish Libraries 
listserv with the hope of finding out more from colleagues in Jerusalem.
Abigail

Re: [ha-Safran]: re: looking for direct quote

2011-01-31 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Jews are People of the Book and we as Jews and librarains love to 
think of it as that we are great readers and lovers of books, all books!
The book referred to is one book and it is our Bible, nothing more 
nothing less. From the Koran-tolerance for those people of the book, 
like Jews and Christians.
We as Jews and librarians have expanded that for any number of 
reasons, and we may want to know from the original intent.

[ha-Safran]: Curious to know

2010-06-30 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Hello friends and colleagues:

I wish you all a successful conference in July in Seattle.

I wanted to let you know, if you don't already, about an interesting 
and exciting development in the world of Jewish books.
Perhaps you have already seen the 1st issue of the Jewish Review of 
Books. It is a quarterly publication. I am hoping that the publisher 
saw fit to make sure that the Jewish Review of Books is available for 
you to preview at the conference.

I am curious to know if any of my colleagues and friends have started 
to read it and use it as a selection/acquisition tool.

I It is worth a look and do check out the ARTS section too. It has a 
piece about the popular Israeli television show called Srugim (the 
title refers to a particular style of kippah worn by Modern Orthodox 
men.) The series follows a group of 30-somethings who are trying to 
find their way through romance, work, etc. in a particular 
neighborhood of Jerusalem.
I am sure the academic librarians will be interested in its reviews 
and criticism of books and ideas.
I am enjoying my copy.

At any rate enjoy the conference in Seattle!
Abigail Yasgur

[ha-Safran]: Looking for info

2008-06-27 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends and Colleagues:
It was a pleasure to see so many of you at the conference.
Query: I will be in Israel for about a week. In Jerusalem.  I enjoy 
learning Midrash and would like to jump into a Midrash class for a 
couple of hours each day while I am there.
I have written to Pardes and I have searched on the Web for places 
that could meet my need. Hartman Institute, Nishmat,...

Any suggestions of how to find a learning opportunity like this?

[ha-Safran]: status of my children's picture

2008-05-14 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends and Colleagues:
Many of you have asked about the status of my children's picture 
book. Thanks for asking!
This picture book, written by my husband Joe Lipner and me, is a 32 
page book written in verse that gives expression to the spirit and 
times of Woodstock, the music festival that took place in August 1969 
on my cousin Max Yasgur's farm in Bethel NY.

As it is a picture book, the story is driven by lush, dynamic 
narrative illustrations by artist Barbara Mendes.
The 40th anniversary of Woodstock is August 2009, so it is with great 
hope and anticipation that the book will be in my hands by early 
November of 2008.  I took this project on to fill the need for a 
picture book about Woodstock and in particular about my cousin Max 
who showed the value of welcoming strangers to his land. he is the 
hero of the book. There are other types of books about Woodstock.  A 
week doesn't go by when I do not hear from someone Are you related 
to Max Yasgur, ya know the guy from Woodstock? And I am proud to 
respond that Yes, he is my son! (our son is named in his memory) and 
Yes he was my cousin. A month doesn't go by without a reference to 
Woodstock in the newspaper somewhere around the world. Just yesterday 
in the NYTimes in the Arts section there was a music book review by 
Stephen Holden and the first paragraph cites the Woodstock Festival 
and the article goes onto speak about Joni Mitchell who wrote the 
Woodstock song that includes the line...goin' down to Yasgur's farm...
So...please everyone, in the interest of my building the 
infrastructure around the book for distribution and sales, help 
me...go to www.maxsaidyes.com
and email me from there that you are interested in the book.

All the best for a groovy summer! Peace.
Abigail Yasgur

[ha-Safran]: DVD/VHS shelf life

2008-02-11 Thread Abigail Yasgur
I have posted several times regarding the shelf life of VHS /DVD ...I wanted
to share the following links. Does anybody use the spray?  Abigail



http://manifest-tech.com/media_dvd/hard_coat.htm


http://www.libraryvideo.com/articles/article15.asp
A second solution is a preventive shield spray that is widely used by rental
shops and outlets. Quick Shield by CD-Playwright is one example of an
all-in-one sealer, protectant and cleaner. There is a patented formula for
new media that seals the surface so it can be circulated ready to resist the
effects of patron handling. There is a second formula that serves as a
routine cleaner/protectant. It adds a protective layer that increases the
disc's scratch resistance while keeping the disc clean and functional. Both
solutions are laser neutral, meaning that they can't affect the reflectivity
of the laser.

Re: [ha-Safran]: School Library Effectiveness Does NOT Make

2007-11-12 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Keep speaking, a film is good, spread the word, etc. but from my 
perspective nothing beats just being out there (if you've got the 
personality for it, to push the Library agenda) it means networking 
and collaborating and building relationships with many other 
institutions so they notice when you are NOT at the table.
It has to mean being willing to explore a future without books and 
libraries as we know them, because that idea is on the table.

I think there is much to learn from nextbook, jewish book council,

Friends and Colleagues:

I have much to say with regard to this topic. The Library I lead is a 
department of the Bureau of Jewish Education in Greater Los Angeles, 
and perhaps is a most parallel situation to Atlanta. (I am curious to 
know about surveys and studies related to the Atlanta library, 
undertaken before this shortsighted closing.)

As I said I have much to say on this, your time and mine is too 
valuable for me to continue to discuss via email.  The situation has 
been laid out, we know the consequences and now as a group or as 
individuals we can choose to take action to get results.

I think many have voiced a willingness to be more visible and to 
advocate on the behalf of Libraries, showing their value from many 
perspectives.

Re: [ha-Safran]: VHS in libraries

2006-12-04 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Andrea this is a very good question and one I would like to discuss with
added component of the following observation I have made as it relates to
DVD and VHS.
I am finding that the shelf life of VHS is so much longer than the DVDs. VHS
is generally a ore robust medium, compared to the DVD which is more
sensitive and fragile. I have looked into leeves and condoms that are
supposed to add protection to the DVD, but the inquiries and reading I have
done on this seem to support the fact that, it is truly difficult to mke
sure the DVD is returned in good condition and ready for use by another
patron.
The VHS on the other hand can circulate numerous times throughout the years
and hold up very well.
I am curious if others have made a similar observation, and perhaps others
have come across THE way to ensure DVD shelf life.
Andrea it is ironic that the very show you want to transfer from video to dvd
is one on ethics. This is a copyright question and AJL may want to consult
with a copyright attorney. I will be consulting with a leader in the field
who is the chair of my Library, David Nimmer (Nimmer on Copyright)

[ha-Safran]: New documentary

2006-06-13 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends and Colleagues:
  I am writing to tell you about a new documentary that tells the story of
Jewish youth (ages 16-26) in France, who saved thousands of lives.
I have just watch a few minutes of this documentary on DVD, and feel it is a
worthwhile addition to many of your collections. I am particularly struck by
the fact that these were teens making a difference, and this film could be
used with high school students and integrated into a curr. unit on the
Resistance and the Holocaust, and moral reasoning.

The title of the film:
Ich bin Jude! Ich bin Jude! (I'm a Jew, I'm a Jew)
Resistance by Jewish Youth Movements in Occupied France

Can anyone provide me the name of one Orthodox Ashkenazic rabbi who 
says eating kitniyot is OK on Pesach.
In Joan Nathan's article yesterday in the N Y Times shes states that 
some Orthodox rabbis (she mentioned' in Israel', but I am led to 
believe she meant outside of Israel as well) are on board with eating 
of kitniyot on Pesach.
I am not questioning her statement. Many thanks.

I am not looking for a flurry of discussion emails on the article or 
on the issue, just a name and location of an Orthodox Ashkenaz rabbi.

Re: [ha-Safran]: ALA creates Jewish book award

Hello Friends:
This is awesome news.
And perhaps our President would make a call or send a note, to the ALA
President acknowledging that this award is a wonderful thing, and have a
conversation about how it all came about.  This could further the
relationship with ALA. I know many of us are members of AJL and ALA!
Perhaps we could begin a relationship with the generous Brody family, by
writing a note of thanks and acknowledgement, also informing them a little
bit about AJL,  its mission, its awards, enclosing some appealing literature
would be value added too.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Jewish film group

2005-04-19 Thread Abigail Yasgur
The Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles facilitated a summer film group
a few summers ago.
The Library jump started the group by advertising in the local Jewish press,
the dates times and titles of films to be viewed.
   and the fact that it was free.
It was a remarkable series because for each film screened a random person
who saw what the film was  called me ahead of time and said something like
the following:
for The Front: I am planning to attend the evening, I was a blacklisted
writer, may I introduce the movie.
for The Port of Last Resort: My parents grew up in Shanghai.May I introduce
the movie and talk about Jewish life in Shanghai and share some photos?
For every one person who called the Library to ask to be a part of the
program, there were at least 5 more people in the audience who were closely
connected to the theme or subject of the film.AND
Jewish Heritage Video Collection:
If you or a nearby institution own the Jewish Heritage Video Collection,
that wonderful resource comes with a series of notebooks that are organized
by themes and topics and suggest viewing and discussion of particular movies
within the collection.
If you are interested in this and a JHVC does not exist close to you the
Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles would be delighted to work with you
and loan you materials for this type of film group.
Call my assistant Sally Hyam (323.761.8644) after Pesach during the first
week of May, to speak about arrangements, policies and to get an idea of the
collection and its notebooks.

i believe it would be incentive enough just to get published!
You could promote the teachers as reviewers to the school community and 
point the community to the reviews.
Having the teachers give detailed reviews is a great idea and good modeling 
for the students.
YOu could even claim a selection of the semester   our teachers best of 
the bunch and ask them to write reveiws 'cause isn't there a book you read

[ha-Safran]: Our friend Rita Frischer

2004-06-07 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Yossi:
  So many in Hasafran and AJL have grown to love Rita Frischer and her
husband Jerry.
They have lovingly and tirelessly devoted these past few years to the
following project and it would be wonderful if colleagues and friends from
AJL and Hasafran knew about it.  Rita and Jerry lost a grand daughter
several years ago... and that's what Annie's Playground project is all
about.
  Thank you for sharing.
Abigail Yasgur, Director
Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles
promoting Jewish literacy

June 3, 2004

Dear Friends and Family,

We would like to let everyone know that Annie's Playground is finally
going to be constructed in Seattle this summer!   We want to thank all of
you for your loving support over the two and a half years since this project
began.  Jerry and I are glad to be renting here in Seattle for now, so we're
on hand and able to help the Friends of Annie's Playground to get the job
done.

We'd like to share with you some of the exciting plans for the new
playground.  There will be colorful play equipment for kids of all ages,
including lots of swings, high slides, monkey bars, and a merry-go-round.
In keeping with the playground's Northwest Wildlife theme, there will also
be exploration caves and nature-inspired tile art, including a heron-shaped
bench with outstretched wings.  If you'd like to see what the new playground
will look like, just go to www.anniesplayground.org  and click on
Playground Plans.  It was your generosity at the very beginning that
convinced Seattle Parks that the playground should be renovated. Since then,
enthusiastic community fundraising, a Department of Neighborhoods matching
grant, plus additional grants, have made Annie's Playground a reality.

City equipment began grading on June 1st.  Our work parties are scheduled to
start on July 9th and continue for the next four weekends.  Community
volunteers will be installing equipment, placing tiles under the supervision
of our professional artist, and spreading wood chip surfacing.   Members of
the community have committed to a total of at least 2,000 volunteer hours!

If you'd like to help and you can't come to Seattle for the work parties,
please consider making an additional contribution to help pay for the
professional artwork and refreshments for the work party volunteers. Any
left over money will go into a fund for continued maintenance and upkeep of
the playground.   You can send your contribution check, made out to Friends
of Annie's Playground, to:

Tammie Conder, Volunteer Coordinator
 Friends of Annie's Playground at Meadowbrook
 3047 NE 98th Street
 Seattle WA 98115.   Our Tax ID Number is 51-0170717.

Thank you again for your help, your compassion, and your friendship. The
dedication date hasn't been set yet, but you will be among the first to
know.

With much affection,

Rita and Jerry

2004-04-19 Thread abigail yasgur
Friends and Colleagues:
Read, be read to, or read to..
Once again the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles lovingly invites all 
communities in North America and
B E Y O N D to have their congregations, classes, families, camps, etc. 
participate in the annual nationwide summer reading club.
The club is specifically designed for the Early Childhood set (beginning 
3-4 years old) through 11-12 yr. olds!
Read 6 appropriate level Jewish themed books over the summer, send in the 
list and receive a certificate and prize.
If a teacher or librarian reads to a class of 20 kids..it counts for every 
kid. If a sibling reads to a sibling, it counts for both of the kids. It's 
a piece of cake to do.

All hints, information and the form to complete will be located on the 
JCLLA web site:

All the best.

[ha-Safran]: Looking for an agent or publisher

2003-08-14 Thread Abigail Yasgur
Friends and colleagues:
I have written a children's picture book and would like to shop it around.
I am looking for ideas.
It is not a Jewish book. It is a children's book about Woodstock (on Max
Yasgur's farm (he was a cousin of mine)
I know and have been in contact with the usual suspects and routes including
SCBWI and various and many publishing houses.
What I am looking for THIS go-round is PERSONAL CONTACTS with agents and
publishers.  So let me know if you can help, with names, address, emails,
phone numbers.
