Subject: [Hasafran]: Jerusalem Books Pesah Newsletter
Dear Friends,
Now that the elections festivities are over in
Israel we can get down to our holiday plans for
Passover. With a little luck, not only will we be
blessed with guests at our Seder table at the
Spitzer household in Jerusalem, but we will
celebrate Mimouna, (a Moroccan Jewish festival) a
day after the Pesah holiday in Eilat.
One of the hottest books in Israel, perhaps to
take on a long weekend, is Meir Shalevs latest,
Yonah ve-Na'ar' - published by Am Oved and
little has to be said about Meir Shalev's
books. They are bestsellers and always a welcome
addition to any library. Cat.no. 59111 $22.00
In addition although, Tomy Lapids Shinui party
self destructed, his son Yair Lapid has come out
with another novel, Ha-Isha
ha-Shniah, Published by Keshet, softcover, 288 pages. Cat. #58612 $20.00
In the area of Holocaust, we would like to remind
those who havent already heard that Yossi Sarid,
(former MK and head of Meretz), wrote a book
called, Pepichik, about a boy who survives
Auschwitz concentration camp only remembering his
nickname that his mother called him by when
they were separated and she was sent to her
death. This moving an important work of
non-fiction is a worthwhile addition to any
collection of holocaust books. Cat.no. 58622 $17.00
An important relatively new publisher worth
noting, Mazo Publishing, has come out with a new
holocaust history/memoire entitled, An Odyssey
of Survival, by Dr. Michael Klein. It
chronicles the personal tragedy of his family
from Janosalma, Hungary through the ghetto,
deportation, Auschwitz, Budapest and
rebuilding. It contains important history
(including Camp Golleschau and Oscar Schindlers
Forced Labor Camp..), as well as insights into
Jewish Identity, Culture and Philosophy. Isbn
965-7344-06-9. Cat.# 59319 $16.00
Lastly, in this category, Tuvia Friedman, has
published a history, auto-biography, 60 Years
Nazi Hunter, published by his Institute of
Documentation in Haifa, Israel. This amazing
fighter for justice contributed to the
apprehension and prosecutions of Nazi War
criminals but equally important has been his
tireless role in the documentation and teaching
of Holocaust studies throughout his life. Cat.no. 59313 $55.00
Regarding Haggadot I would just like to note that
there is a scholarly side to this common and
popular item. In the past weeks we have seen a
Rav Kook Haggada, with intro by R Aviner,
published in Bet El, Cat. # 59432 $13.00 and The
Tekhelet Mordekhai Haggadah, by R Mordekhai
Elon, isbn 965-09-0194-9, published by Reuven
Mass, Cat # 59433 $14.00. This stream includes
many Haggadot with significant commentaries and
reflecting the customs of many Jewish communities.
We wish all of you a Happy Holiday, from all of us at Jerusalem Books.
Sincerely,
Jeff
