[ha-Safran]: 6th grade short story help
Dear Colleagues, Our Day School will be hosting our Israeli partnership school, Tzahala this fall. I am pushing to have a reading component. Since it seems unlikely that we call all read the same book (our kids in English, theirs in Hebrew) I am thinking we might try a short story. Tzahala would choose an Israeli one appropriate for their kids and we would choose a Jewish American story for us. Each school would be responsible for the translation so everyone would understand what they are reading and when they get here we can have a group discussion. My question to you is are there any short stories written for 6th graders that have a Jewish American theme? Eastern European folktales or biblical themes would not work. I have looked at the anthology Growing Up Jewish. The stories are good but might be a little too teen. I might be able to get past that but I am not sure the language would be accessible to the Israeli kids. Apparently they are very proficient in English but I am concerned about the idiomatic speech. When I was formulating this idea originally I wanted us all to read Dog of Knots which would have been perfect except I do not believe it has been translated into Hebrew. Please write me any thoughts on this subject. I don't want to abandon my idea but it seems to be a tall order. With respect for your opinions.

Re: [Hasafran] Sammy Spider
When the same thing happens to my Sammy Spider books (I have multiple copies because of my large population) I take the book to a printer like Kinkos and have the loose pages spiral bound. I have to reprint a spine label to put on the front but it does give the book more longevity. You might even find a printer who is a member of your Temple who will do it as a donation to your library like I do. As much as we all would like to have them, I think it might be too costly for Kar-Ben to do a hardcover reprint. I want them to continue to bring us their good titles and if it means preserving my soft covers in this way I will do it. I will be interested to hear the responses.

[ha-Safran]: Looking for a book about a shofar
Dear Friends, The Judaic coordinator at my school is looking for a book. I am stumped. Below is her request. Does this sound familiar to anyone? The book that I am looking for is an old black and white book about two shofarot and their conversations about wanting to be used on the high holidays. One is Shofty and one is Blowfy. The Rabbi asks them what they will be thinking about if he blows them on the holiday, and since they both have such beautiful thoughts, he decides to use one on Rosh Hashanah and one on Yom Kippur. He also decides to let them live in the ark next to the Torah instead of being kept in the drawer during the year Please send me your ideas if you have any to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Shanah Tovah to all.

[ha-Safran]: Children's book titled Sorry
Dear Friends, My apologies for steering you wrong. When I got back to my library I found the book I have titled Sorry was not the one that Marga Hirsch mentioned. My book is by Sue Riley. It is a small book in a series about feelings that was published in 1970. Each page has an example of a what a little child might feel sorry about. The book that Marga talked about by Jean Van Leeuwen is also called Sorry but it is quite different. Below is the summary I found on http://Abebooks.comAbebooks.com Ebenezer and Obadiah are brothers on a New England farm, sharing the work to plow the fields and milk the cows. But in this tale for readers up to 8, an argument starts one day. Obadiah criticizes his brother's oatmeal, and Ebenezer upends the bowl on his head. Neither will say he's sorry, and the brothers end up splitting the house and living on separate hilltops. Each marries and prospers, but they never speak again. It isn't until two cousins meetEbenezer and Obadiah's great-grandsonsthat someone finally says sorry, and the split is mended. Illustrator Brad Sneed depicts the hardheaded brothers in detailed watercolors with exaggerated attitudes. Hope this clears up my misunderstanding. Wishing you all a sweet New Year.

[ha-Safran]: New cd Let My People Go
This is a cd that belongs in every collection. It is a Jewish African American celebration of freedom. It explores the shared struggle that was our mutual connection point. The gamut is run from good old fashioned civil rights songs to Irving Berlin's Give Me Your Tired. The high point for me is a reminiscence by Rabbi Arthur Waskow of the life changing experience he had with Fanny Lou Hamer at Democratic National Convention of 1964. The production values are outstanding. This cd works as music and as history. I highly recommend it.

[ha-Safran]: Sybil Rosen's Speed of Light
I just checked the stock at Ingram where I purchase many of my books. It appears that they have 25 copies of the paperback available in their Oregon warehouse. The Perma Bound and Sagebrush bound copies are out of stock and on back order. It is an Accelerated Reader - Reading Counts book selection so hopefully they will reprint it. I am not sure how that works. It is a great book and needs to be out there and available to be read. As to a reading guide, someone on the Sydney Taylor Committee or a former member might be able to put you in touch with the author. She came to convention to accept her award. She might be able to assist you with questions and discussion guidelines. In lieu of that you might make sure that there are adults in the group who lived through the Civil Rights era and are able to give an eye witness picture of the times, so to speak. It might help the kids understand how courageous the Dad in the story is to befriend the Black people in the town and to defend the man who is up for the job of Chief of Police(?) I haven't read it in a while so I may not be recalling the details accurately. Good luck and if you do come up with any sort of guides for reading the book, please post it on Hasafran.

[ha-Safran]: Video on Rescued Czech Torahs
I received the following request through my Cantor. I would be interested in obtaining a copy of this video myself, if one is to be had anywhere. Our congregation happens to own one of those Czech Torahs. Anybody have any ideas?

It was titled The Odyssey of the Torah Scrolls. It was about all the Czech Torahs arriving at Westminister Synagogue, the history before they were sent to ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags /London, then what occurred while they were at Westminister Synagogue. Copies of the documentary were sold in the 1970s as videocassettes.My congregants called JTS who told them that they have one remaining copy of this videotape and that it is in too poor of a condition to lend out.We were wondering if any of your congregational libraries might have a copy of this hard to find videotape. I would appreciate it if you could look into this for us. You can e-mail me privately at: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for your help!

[ha-Safran]: Help with Israeli History questions
Dear Friends,
A patron has come to me with the following questions. i have no idea where
to find the answers. Help, please
-Approximately how many Arabs were uprooted during the '48 war?
-Approximately how many Jews were uprooted during the same period
('40s-50s) from the surrounding Arab countries?
-Under what circumstances were these Jews uprooted? (Actually kicked out,
or did they leave due to discrimination, etc?)
-What percentage of Israeli's are from those countries? (And what's the
best way to describe them: Oriental Jews, Sephardic Jews, what?)
Thank you for your help in advance.
