Re: [ha-Safran] LibraryThing query

[Beth Dwoskin]

We're using it temporarily while I decide what's the best permanent solution.

We put the Weine number in the Dewey field.  There's a field called "From 
where" that you could use for the accession number.  You can't add your own 
subject headings.

Colleagues - I just spent a lot of time exploring the LibraryThing site.
I don't have any other choice for a catalog except making  one by hand,
which is no longer a real choice.  Before I click the button, perhaps
you can tell me what I can't find on the site:

1. Can I enter a Weine classification number?
2. Is there a place for an accession number?
3. Can I put in my own subject headings?

Is there anything you think I ought to know?

Thank you.

[ha-Safran] February and March Titles from Academic Studies Press

[Lauren Taylor]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

 

Academic Studies Press is pleased to announce the publication of nine new
titles!

 

With Both Feet on the Clouds: Fantasy in Israeli Literature

By Danielle Gurevitch, Elana Gomel, and Rani Graff

ISBN 978-1-936235-83-4

250 pp. (cloth) 

$75.00

 

Why do Israelis dislike fantasy? Put so bluntly, the question appears
frivolous. But, in fact, it stems from the deepest sources of Israeli
historical identity and literary tradition. Uniquely among developed
nations, Israel's origin is in a utopian novel, Theodor Herzl's Altneuland
(1902), which predicted the future Jewish state. Though Jewish writing in
the Diaspora has always tended toward the fantastic, the mystical, and the
magical, from its very inception Israeli literature has been stubbornly
realistic. The present volume challenges this stance. Originally published
in Hebrew in 2009, With Both Feet on the Clouds is the first serious,
wide-ranging, and theoretically sophisticated exploration of fantasy in
Israeli literature and culture. Its contributors jointly attempt to address
the question posed at the book's beginning: why do Israelis, living in a
country whose very existence is predicated on the fulfillment of a utopian
dream, distrust fantasy?

 

Series: Israel: Society, Culture, and History

 

Personal Theology: Essays in Honor of Neil Gillman

By William M. Plevan 

ISBN 978-1-618111-68-5

275pp. (cloth)

$85.00

 

During the nearly five decades he served as a teacher at the Jewish
Theological Seminary, Rabbi Dr. Neil Gillman influenced a generation of
rabbis, educators, scholars, and Jewish leaders by helping them to relate to
Jewish teachings about God in a personal way. In this volume, Gillman's
colleagues and students celebrate the contributions he made through essays
that explore a variety of themes related to his central concerns, such as
revelation and the basis of religious knowledge, the role of myth and ritual
in Jewish thought, and Jewish understandings of suffering. Several
contributors also respond to Gillman's recent claims about the future of
theology and law in Conservative Judaism.

 

Review:

 

"A worthy tribute of substance, esteem, and affection to the master teacher
and fearless theologian of our day, who has given a lifetime of service and
thought to the welfare of the Seminary and the cause of Conservative
Judaism."-Ismar Schorsch, Professor and Former Chancellor of the Jewish
Theological Seminary 

Series: New Perspectives in Post-Rabbinic Judaism 

 

Return of the Jew: Identity Narratives of the Third Post-Holocaust
Generation of Jews in Poland 

By Katka Reszke

ISBN 978-1-618112-46-0

230 pp. (cloth)

$79.00

 

Return of the Jew traces the appearance of a new generation of Jews in
Poland that followed the fall of the communist regime. Today more and more
Poles are discovering their Jewish heritage and beginning to seek a means of
associating with Judaism and Jewish culture. Reszke analyzes this new
generation, addressing the question of whether there can be authentic Jewish
life in Poland after fifty years of oppression. Based on a series of
interviews with Jewish Poles between the ages of 18 and 35, her work
provides an illuminating window into the experience of being, and for many,
becoming Jewish in these unique circumstances. This book will appeal to
scholars, students, and general readers interested in Jewish history and
culture, Polish studies, social anthropology, religion, ethnicity, sociology
and the Holocaust.

 

Review:

 

"Uniquely positioned as both an insider and an acute outside observer, Katka
Reszke provides an insightful analysis of a controversial and still
developing phenomenon that has bemused, perplexed and sometimes enraged the
outside Jewish world. In doing so, she gives rare - and welcome -- voice to
the actual protagonists, Poland's "new Jews," and sets in complex context
their unprecedented, and often poignant, quest for place, identity and
selfhood amid the brave new Jewish realities of post-communist Poland."-Ruth
Ellen Gruber

 

Series: Jews of Poland 

 

Faith, Reason, and Politics: Essays on the History of Jewish Thought

By Michah Gottlieb

ISBN 978-1-936235-87-2

260pp. (cloth) 

$85.00

 

The past decade has witnessed renewed interest in the faith-reason debate.
Yet, all too often, the debate is treated in generic terms without attention
to the distinctions between or historical developments of different
religious traditions. In Faith, Reason, and Politics, Michah Gottlieb
explores Jewish approaches to the faith-reason debate through detailed
analyses of Jewish thinkers from the twelfth to the twentieth century,
including Judah Halevi, Maimonides, Spinoza, Moses Mendelssohn, Samson
Raphael Hirsch, and Leo Strauss. This study of the Jewish perspective, with
its emphasis on religious law, yields insights into the political
ramifications of the debate, which differ greatly from Christian approaches.
It will appeal to scholars and students int

[ha-Safran] LibraryThing query

[Riva Berleant]

Colleagues - I just spent a lot of time exploring the LibraryThing site.
I don't have any other choice for a catalog except making  one by hand,
which is no longer a real choice.  Before I click the button, perhaps
you can tell me what I can't find on the site:

1. Can I enter a Weine classification number?
2. Is there a place for an accession number?
3. Can I put in my own subject headings?

Is there anything you think I ought to know?

Thank you.
