[ha-Safran]: Commentary and Tikkun

[Barbara Mende]

The discussion of JRB (which we get) reminds me of a discussion 
that's going on in our Conservative congregation. We used to get 
Commentary and it was cut off before my time as too conservative (in 
the political, not the Jewish, sense). Tikkun never made the cut but 
was proposed to offset Commentary. Does anyone have an opinion on these?

Thanks!
Barbara

[ha-Safran]: New Israeli books

[Barbara Mende]

I may have asked this before, but we need to select a few new books 
that represent Israeli culture - either books by Israeli authors or 
about some form of the arts and humanities. One would be for a book 
club. Any ideas?

Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Cataloging graphic novels

[Barbara Mende]

In our synagogue library we use the Weine system and mark fiction as "F" and
young adult fiction as "YA F." The Sydney Taylor collection this year 
is full of
graphic novels, and others are coming through. Do you guys have special
designations for them?

[ha-Safran]: Two teacher requests

[Barbara Mende]

Does anyone know of a biography of Hannah Senesh for young children? We have
"Hannah Szenes - a song of light." It's fine but a bit mature.

Also, is there such a thing as  a Sefer Ha-Agada edited by A.B. Yehoshua? I
can't find one but it's hard to search Hebrew spellings.

Thank you!

[ha-Safran]: Large print and audio cookbooks and prayerbooks

[Barbara Mende]

We need to memorialize someone who had limited vision, gave us many large print
books and audiobooks, was passionate about cooking, and was religious.

Does anyone know of good kosher cookbooks in large print and/or audio?

And does anyone know whether the Conservative prayerbooks are available in
audio?

If there are any other significant large print or audio works that we may not
know about, I'd like to hear about those too.

Thank you!

[ha-Safran]: Books for teenagers

We have a fund from which to buy books of teenage interest in honor 
of our Mitzvah kids. Last year we got our list from the Sydney Taylor 
and other book awards. But we have to buy seven more books before the 
next awards come out.

Can anyone recommend newish teenage books that might win this year's 
awards, or that are just plain good?

Re: [ha-Safran]: Holocaust Books for children

[Barbara Mende]

Yes, I've noticed that; I think it's true in adult literature too 
these days (e.g., Sarah's Key).  I imagine people think that if they 
make the Holocaust more mainstream, it'll appeal to more 
non-Jews.  Nice thought but. . . .

How can something written at the time the events occurred be 
old-fashioned?  Do they want the forties to come off like this 
century?  Old-fashioned?  What can be more real and authentic?

I like the Book Thief and perhaps it's gentler because it deals 
mainly with survival, but is gentle what we want here?  Agree that 
despite its young teen heroine and its appearance on young adult book 
lists, it's not a young adult book.

Re: [ha-Safran]: No more assigned classics

[Barbara Mende]

My tenth grade high school class (about 30 of us, in the fifites) was 
required to join a paperback-book-of-the-month club.  Believe me, the 
choices were assorted - about five a month, I think, from mysteries 
to politics.  Many of us ordered more than one book; I often got all 
of them.  We then broke into groups and dramatized each of the 
books.  We got such a fabulous education in all kinds of things that 
I wasn't accepted to the college of my parents' choice because the 
interviewer wanted to know how come we didn't read Silas Marner in 
tenth grade (it was one of the selections, in fact) and I told her 
what I thought of that.  (I did get into the college of my own choice.)

Therefore, I think it's wonderful.

HI,
Can you please recommend books for 1st grade boys who easily
read above grade level,
or direct me to where I can learn more about this?

I'm an independent educator in Manhattan & direct a private
after school program that meets in families' homes. I have a beginning
group of (7) 1st grade boys that attend a Manhattan independent
(private) school. They're very bright & are already reading above a 1st
grade level. I'm most interested in fiction & folklore. The parents
are more interested in the history, ethics & culture of Judaism vs
ritual & practice.

Any direction you can provide will be greatly appreciated - Many

would you pick?  In particular I'm interested in what people think of 
Tikkun and Lilith.

Our education director wants his seventh graders to study these

Re: [Hasafran] Sammy Spider

I absolutely agree.  We just had to replace two Sammy Spider's First 
Passovers.  If you're listening, Kar-Ben -

[ha-Safran]: Summer reading, Havdalah and synagogue books

[Barbara Mende]

1. Last year some of you had summer reading lists for kids and 
adults.  Anyone have one out now that you'd like to share?


2. Our new preschool director is looking for a book about 
Havdalah.  I know it's in a lot of Shabbat books but wondered whether 
anyone had seen a whole little-kids book about it.


3. Same with going to synagogue for little guys.


Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Bibliographies

[Barbara Mende]

I've seen them come and go and I know there are many good ones on the
AJL site - but I've been asked whether there's a basic bibliography
of books that all synagogue libraries should have (not fiction or
children's necessarily).

We're a conservative synagogue.

Thanks, everyone!

[ha-Safran]: Yehuda Amichai - poems in Hebrew

[Barbara Mende]

Can someone recommend a recent collection of poems in
Hebrew with or without translation?  I've heard a
bilingual one was compiled after he died.

Also - what is the world's best Talmud/Aramaic
dictionary?

Thank you!

[ha-Safran]: Wedding poem?

[Barbara Mende]

I'm looking for a short reading (doesn't have to be a poem) for an
interfaith marriage.  The bride and groom want something with a
Jewish flavor or origin.  I'm afraid our wedding book collection
isn't what it should be.  Ideas on either?  Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Unabridged dictionary

We have Webster's Third and it's in bad shape, so we'd
like to get a new one if there's something good that's
later than that.  I haven't found one; but if anyone
has, can you let me know?

Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Naming books

[Barbara Mende]

No, not What Should We Name the Baby.  Something that translates and 
transliterates to and from Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino - the more the merrier.

This request came up when someone found an old Hebrew inscription 
which she believed to be her late sister's Hebrew name, but it wasn't 
exactly.  Then it came up again, also in a funeral preparation 
context.  No one even knows whether such a book exists.  Any info on 
this, let me know.

Also, we're very seriously buying kids' books.  Anyone who comes 
across a truly marvelous list (other than AJL) or a truly marvelous 
book, do let me know if you think of it.

Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Encyclopedia Judaica

[Barbara Mende]

We are about to order it, and I know it was discussed before but I 
gather no one would want to talk us out of it?

I'm confused by the pricing of the CD.  One vendor has it for $450 
and another for $190.  Are there two versions of it?  What's the difference?

If anyone has vendor tips on both the books and the CDs, I'd 
appreciate hearing about that offlist.

Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Schottenstein Talmud - for synagogue librarians only

Does any of you have the full set of this Talmud?  Is it used a lot,
and if so by whom?  We have been asked to buy it and would like to
know what people's experiences have been.

Thanks!

[ha-Safran]: Young adult books

[Barbara Mende]

Right now we don't have a section for young adult books; everything
that isn't adult and is above the board-book level is labeled juvenile.

I'd like to know (1) what you all think of that, and (2) what your
definition is of "young adult" if you have one.

Thank you!

[ha-Safran]: Large print books

[Barbara Mende]

A member would like to give us money to buy large print books, but we
haven't been able to find anything of Jewish interest that's still in
print, except for the few that we have.  Does anyone know a source
for such books ?

Thanks!
