Re: [ha-Safran] Jewish Book Month
Dear Heather There are many books on Jewish themes that do not get the promotion or distribution that they deserve because they are published on limited budgets by small publishers or by self-publication. Jewish Libraries should encourage such publishers and writers by drawing attention to those books, many of which are worthy of a wider audience. What better place to start than to allocate a section to lesser known books and invite recommendations. A classic example of one such neglected book was Henry Roth's Call it Sleep which has since been regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century.

[ha-Safran]: Blackberries and Yom Kippur
In the year 1940, many children were evacuated from their homes in the major towns of Britain to escape the impending bombing onslaught of the Nazi German Luftwaffe. Among them were many Jewish children who found themselves having to find ways to maintain their Jewish culture within a Christian environment. In these Days of Awe, I thought you might like to see that it could be done, as is demonstrated by this light-hearted story extracted from my book From Here to Obscurity That autumn, the blackberries grew with profusion in the countryside hedgerows. Yulus has always, ever since that year, associated blackberries with Yom Kippur, the Jewish fast day that lasts twenty-five hours from dusk of one day until after dark of the next. Pre-Barmitzvah boys are under no obligation to fast, but their virility was often measured by the length of time they could maintain the fast. Hail to those who could fast for the whole period, no easy task for a twelve year-old. Yulus was determined to pass the test. He explained the importance of this day in the Jewish calendar to the grandmother. All Jews fast on this day, he said. It was good for the soul. He asked her to provide him with an early supper that night. She willingly complied with his request, not really believing that this plump short-trousered boy with socks falling about his ankles, would, or could go without food for such a long period even though it was good for the soul. That evening, when he returned home after the Yom Kippur eve Kol Nidre religious service in the Conservative Club Hall that was serving as a Synagogue, she offered him his usual hot cocoa drink. He politely refused, not tonight thank you, he said as he went upstairs to bed. Next morning he also refused breakfast. What, no breakfast? she exclaimed as he left the house for the Synagogue, but you will be home for lunch? Again he explained that the fast would last until dark that day. It doesn't seem right, she said, for a young boy to go without food or drink for such a long time. If that's his religion, said the grandfather, you should not interfere. Still, she said, twenty five hours is a long, long time. She was truly concerned and had visions of the boy collapsing in the street with all the other evacuees and being carted off to hospital. And then people would think the village hadn't been feeding the boys properly. Twenty-five hours without food, she kept repeating, nodding her head in disbelief. After the morning service, the boys had free time before the combined afternoon and evening religious services began. They ventured out into the countryside. The sun was shining brightly even though autumn was in the air. The blackberries were as ripe as they would ever be. By the next day they would be overripe. Those deep, deep purple berries cried out to be eaten. This temptation of Satan had to be resisted, and yet.. The boys went into a huddled conference and came out with a decision. The blackberries could be picked, but not eaten until the fast was over. A basket was collected from one of the billets and soon filled to capacity. No-one, on his absolute honour, ate one berry. Not one even licked the purple juice from his fingers. They marched back to the Conservative Club and placed the basket in a vacant room, out of sight, although hardly out of mind. When the final religious service was over and darkness had fallen, the boys purchased a loaf of bread, sliced it and broke their fast with the most delicious blackberry sandwiches ever, ever tasted. You must be starving, said the grandmother, when Yulus arrived home. Not really, he said, with the tell-tale purple signs of blackberry juice that he had omitted to wipe away, still visible around the edges of his mouth. I did it, he exclaimed triumphantly. I fasted for the whole twenty-five hours! I never thought it was possible, said the grandmother as she served Yulus with a hot supper. That's real food, she said relieved to find him still on his two feet. I expected you to be carried home, she said with a measure of awe at the power of religious practice and the resilience of the young. I wish you and your family and all Safranim, a happy, healthy and peaceful year.

[ha-Safran]: Censorship
Much of the dispute regarding censorship seems to emanate from the word itself. As rich as is the English language, it nevertheless fails from time to time to provide an accurate word for the occasion. Censorship is one such word. There is an old Jewish anecdote about a judge presiding over a case where divorced parents argue as to who should have custody of their child. The mother explains at length why she should have custody and the judge says You are right. The father then explains why he should have custody of the child and the judge says to him You are right. The clerk to the court then intervenes and tells the judge that he cannot say that both sides are right, whereupon the judge exclaims You are also right! So it is with the censorship discussion so far. The trouble arises from the wide definition of the word which can be used equally for censoring for good and evil purposes. Most will agree that censorship for the common good is acceptable, although many would dispute what is for the common good. Different words need to be found to describe more accurately the many forms of censorship in existence. Who will take up the challenge? Plato used the word in the following context And shall we just carelessly allow children to hear any casual tales which may be devised by casual persons, and to receive into their minds ideas for the most part the very opposite of those which we should wish them to have when they are grown up? We cannot. Then the first thing will be to establish a censorship of the writers of fiction, and let the censors receive any tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and we will desire mothers and nurses to tell their children the authorized ones only.

[ha-Safran]: Re: Children books and censorship
Dear Safranim, Apropos Bernard Katz's hope that others will join in the discussion with David and himself, (March 16,2006), I would like to make the following points. I have read the review and followed the discussion related to the book Three Wishes: Palestinian and Israeli Children Speak from which it seems to me that the book is not a children's book at all, rather it is an ADULT book ABOUT children and NOT a book written FOR children. I am rather surprised that no-one has suggested that the book should be on the adult shelves of the library (under sociology?) where hopefully better informed adult readers can perhaps ask themselves and discuss with other adults, the questions that have arisen in the debate between David Elazar in front-line Israel and Bernard Katz in the comfort of North America, and then be in a better position to answer questions of children relating to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. How on earth would a child who has grown up in the normal atmosphere of an American home and school environment, understand, or be expected to understand, ON THEIR OWN, the extreme emotional reactions of children living under the daily threat of bombs tied around the waists of teenagers or from ground-to-ground or air-to-ground missiles? As a child, I and my contemporaries, had the doubtful benefit of growing up under the constant threat of German bombs on London in WW2. We were never asked our opinion and were never encouraged to be afraid, rather the terrible experience was treated as a challenge and some even found the experience exciting. Today, children are asked whether they are afraid and lo and behold, researchers discover hidden traumas and nasty reactions to uncomfortable conditions. If one asks a child a pointed question then one will get the desired answer. If one sees young Palestinian children confronting armed Israeli soldiers, does one see fear? Books of the nature of Three Wishes: Palestinian and Israeli Children Speak may well have their place in social studies, but need to be read and understood within the context of conditions extant and the precise nature and format of the questions asked. Are these children's books?

At a time of growing discontent among the rural and urban poor, who were under increasing pressure form the changes then occurring, violent attacks on tollgates across the area became common.

Re: [ha-Safran]: Films about Israeli and/or Jewish athletes
The manner of expression of English anti-Semitism changed dramatically in 1933 with the accession to power of Hitler in nazi Germany and the growth of fascism in Britain. The passive, restrictive form gave way to intrusive and violent anti-Semitic acts and the language returned to the open aggressive mode of anti-Semitic expression more common in mid-eighteenth century Britain. The difference between pre-Hitler European and British anti-Semitic language may be likened to the difference between a sharp stab (stoch) with a knife and the surrepticious twist of a screwdriver. The anti-Semitic language in the film Chariots of Fire may sound subtle and polite to the foreign ear but, to both, the English Gentile and English Jew, it was neither polite nor subtle. Many people (including Americans) who understand english do not always fully understand THE English, whose coded forms of expression are well understood by the indigenous population for their real meanings. (Coded language is not, of course, exclusive to the English and, as we all know, the Americans and British are still divided by a common language) Yoel Yoel Sheridan [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.tenterbooks.com === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran at lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc at lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 at osu.edu AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
Re: [ha-Safran]: Films about Israeli and/or Jewish athletes
Dear Ann A worthwhile addition to your list is the film and 1981 Oscar winner, Chariots of Fire that deals with the 1924 Paris Olympics and the competition between the Jewish athlete Harold Abrahams and the devout Scottish Protestant Eric Liddell. Incidentally, Harold Abrahams has also to jump a number of anti-Semitic hurdles on his way to the Olympics.

[ha-Safran]: Jerusalem Menorah
Dear Irene Attached is the web site of The Jerusalem Menorah by Alkan. It is in German BUT if you right hand click and press translate on the menu, it will translate to an English of sorts. http://www.menora.de/menorademo/003elkme/essay.htm I would add that when I tried, it translated most of the text, but not the latter part. I trust you will have more luck. In any event I hope this helps.

[ha-Safran]: Cologne - when established
Someone wanted to know when the city of Cologne was established. The following is an extract from the Catholic Encyclopedia: The history of Cologne goes back to the first century before Christ. After Marcus Agrippa transplanted the Ubii from the right to the left bank of the Rhine (38 B.C.), Ara Ubiorum, the centre of the civil and religious life of this tribe, occupied the site of the modern Cologne. In A.D. 50 Agrippina, the daughter of Germanicus, founded here a colony of veterans called Colonia Agrippina; the inhabitants of the two settlements mingled freely with each other, while the Germans gradually assumed Roman customs. After the revolt of the Batavians, Cologne was made the capital of a Roman province and was repeatedly the residence of the imperial court Note. The Ubii were a German tribe.

From Here to Obscurity
When I wrote that my book From Here to Obscurity (ISBN 0-9540811-0-2) was now available in the USA from McBooks, 4450 Poe Road, Medina, OH 44256 USA Phone: 330-725-0402 Fax: 330-722-2439, I inadvertently omitted their e mail address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The book,which is about the life and times and demise of the Yiddish-speaking Jews of the East End of London in the period 1933 to 1945, has universal appeal as indicated in the review that appeared in the Jerusalem Post under the heading A London Jewish world that is no more by Alexander Zvielli. This is a well-executed historical novel about London's Jewish East End, covering the 1933-1945 period..Sheridan is successful in portraying the character types that we could just as easily find in Lodz or the Lower East Side of New York... From Here to Obscurity is a historically perceptive and exciting chronicle that gives us a moving fusion of history and literature. Local author Yoel Sheridan does a good job of bringing us the ambiance, lifestyle and nostalgic humor of London's East End. Indeed, I found the historical descriptions absorbing.

It is not widely known that this vibrant Jewish community was not outside the orbit of Nazi terror and that it was forced to disperse by the targeted bombing of the German Luftwaffe in WW2. The book has received excellent reviews from the Jewish press in England, Israel and New Zealand.
